Sporty social networking site sometimes goes foul.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this sports social networking site requires users to be 13 or older to register, but it's really not appropriate for younger teens. Many of the profiles have racy photos and some of the comments are rude, sexual, or downright creepy. As on many social networking sites, teens are posting things they shouldn't, like full names, email addresses and IMs, hometowns, and high schools. The site does, however, allow users to make their profiles private and contains a page of safety tips.
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Sexual comments ("I want to f--k you real bad baby") and profile photos of girls in very skimpy attire.
Language:

Consumerism:
There are ads -- and ads disguised as content -- everywhere, including a contest sponsored by Wendy's.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
References to drinking in some profiles.
