Soccer fan Sofia Loren to strip if team moves up
MILAN (Reuters) - A striptease by 72-year-old actress Sofia Loren could be one of the more outrageous ways that Napoli fans will celebrate if the team are promoted to the Italian top flight this season.
I have mixed emotions about this.
Loren, a movie sex siren from the 1950s and 1960s, is a big fan of the Naples club who have fallen on hard times since winning their first Italian championship 20 years ago.
I'm also not so sure a 72 year old woman stripping is a good motivator.
"I hope that Napoli win these last few games. You watch if we go up I will do a striptease," she told Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview Tuesday. "The fans have a total passion, the city deserves promotion."
I have a passion, too. Why couldn't uo do this 40 years ago? Or did I miss it?Napoli are third in Serie B, Italy's second division, and have five games left to force their way into the top two or face a promotion playoff.
