Brazilian female ref to pose for Playboy

Move over Amanda Beard; a Brazilian referee will shed her uniform for her country’s edition of Playboy.

Ana Paula de Oliveira’s decision to appear naked in Playboy has been seen as controversial by some soccer players and officials disagree with her:

“‘I am against any woman taking her clothes off in public. I think that will not be good for her professional career,’ said Botafogo midfielder Lucio Flavio.”

Press reports allege that de Oliveira (image) will be paid approximately $230,000 for the nude photo shoot and she risks getting sanctioned by Brazil’s soccer governing body. Recently she was demoted from refereeing first division matches after making several bad calls which she subsequently apologized for.
