Prostitutes' Soccer Team Loses to Cops
Mon Oct 18,10:03 AM ET

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - A soccer team made up of Guatemalan prostitutes, formed to call attention to their poor working conditions, lost 3-1 to policewomen on Saturday.

The women get paid as little as $2.50 for sex and complain of frequent police harassment, despite their profession being legal and widespread in Guatemala.

"We get much more attention from the public now our faces are known; people come up and congratulate us and tell us to keep up the good work," said Valeria, 27, who scored the prostitutes' goal on Saturday.

"It's good to feel the power of being united; when we work, we are more isolated in our rooms," said defender Beatriz, 37.

The prostitutes, the Stars of the Tracks, were kicked out of an elite amateur league last month because of allegations that their fans used profanity.

Sudiegirl's opinion?

1. "Stars of the Tracks"? That's all the better name they could come up with? Here's another contest worthy of 94.7 The Arrow's Morning Guys...I'll send them the link. As a matter of fact, gentle readers, please submit what you think would be a better name for this team. Maybe they can represent Guatemala in the next Olympics, huh?

Some ideas:
"Sluts with Cleats"
"The Marion Berry All-Stars" (applies only if they move to DC)
"Bill Clinton's Hot Mamas"
"Guatemala City Tricks"

2. You gotta admit, this is a good way for their profession to get attention...better than a job fair.

3. Do prostitutes make workers' comp claims, and what would they be?

I'm sorry I'm joking about this, but for God's sake, I've been away for a few days. Let me live my dream, dammit!
