It's true both subjects are still living. But this photo cannot be replaced by freely-licensed alternatives. In particular, this unique image was directly discussed in the text of the article from which I acquired it. Rypien was the closest thing the "Lingerie Football League", later the "Legends Football League" had to a star. Near as I could tell 99 percent of the games players were volunteers, for whom the only remunerations they may have received were for the occasional appearance, at malls, etc. They all had to keep their day jobs. Rypien's own skill, and her family ties to a legend from men's football, enabled her to acquire enough endorsement deals that she could support herself without needing to keep her day job. The League seems to have had a troubled history, and may never play another game. So this historic photo, showing two family members from different football leagues, both wearing clothes appropriate for playing football, is extremely unlikely to ever be duplicated, much less duplicated under a free license. I looked, at the time I uploaded this image, and couldn't find any free images. Geo Swan (talk) 15:24, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- There's nothing in the photo that can't be described using words alone. Fails NFCC #1 and #8. Sorry, -- Diannaa (talk) 00:23, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
