Deion Sanders' daughter Deiondra Sanders has decided to be a part of a bikini basketball league, despite her father's criticisms.
USA Today reported that Deiondra recently posted a photo of herself getting ready for practice wit hthe Atlanta Peaches. What seems like an straight man's dream come true, beautiful women clad in bikinis play basketball in eight different teams: Miami Spice, New York Knockouts, Orlando Lady Cats, L.A. Ice, Minnesota Mist, Atlanta Peaches, Chicago Crave and Illinois Heart.
Apparently, however, the name is misleading as the women play in shorts and a sports bra, not actual bikinis.
The daughter of the Hall of Fame football player, is starting in the league this season. Yahoo! Sports reported that there are also other former professional basketball players on the league, including some that have played on the WNBA in the past.
Deiondra's father had some issues with his daughter joining the league.
"My dad was kind of upset, but that's like any parent who just sees bikini league," Deiondra said to Jeff Sammut of 590 The Fan in Toronto. "He thought I was gonna be out there in a bikini. He [saw] a picture of our uniform and stuff like that, so I think once he saw that we're actually covered up a little bit, he wasn't as concerned."
Deiondra said the Lingerie Football League, which actually features women playing football in lingerie is different that the bikini league.
"I just think that it's a lot different because we actually do have players, real basketball players, that actually have played in the WNBA before," Sanders said according to USA Today. "So I think that this will make a difference because people are really gonna see real-life hoopers. They just look good while doing it."
Deoin has played both football and basketball professionally. He's played for the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Ravens.
"In baseball, he played for the New York Yankees, the Atlanta Braves, the Cincinnati Reds, and the San Francisco Giants. He attended Florida State University, where he excelled at both football, baseball, track and basketball," said deionsanders21.com.
