Another naked charity calendar and this one has incurred disapproval

You know that I'm a bit of a fan of sportsmen getting their clothes off for charity particularly when it's in a good cause. However my interest reaches new peaks if somebody else disapproves. I know that that is a childish reaction but somehow it's given this calendar that extra picquancy. I can see naked calendars throughout my small apartment this next year....enjoy.

Naked calendar too hot for NRL
27/09/2006 12:43 - (SA)


Sydney - Australia's National Rugby League moved to distance itself on Wednesday from a fundraising calendar which depicts some of the sport's star players in the nude.

The Naked Rugby League calendar, promoted as the "most provocative calendar ever released by an Australian football code," was released in Sydney to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Several of Australian rugby league's biggest stars are photographed nude in the calendar, which has already garnered controversy for the revealing nature of some poses.

The NRL quickly rejected any association with the calendar, saying it neither authorised nor endorsed it.

"It's certainly not anything that we are aware of. It's not a publication we endorse," NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley said.

"We have a very close association with the National Breast Cancer Foundation... but the nature of the publication is not anything that we would have approved to be associated with the NRL.

A spokesperson for the Breast Cancer Foundation said the organisation was not behind the production of the calendar, but confirmed it would benefit from its sale.

Proceeds to: National Breast Cancer Foundation of Australia
