Scare Force One See First Loss in DC Rollergirls Match
Saturday's DC Rollergirls event at the D.C. Armory found team Scare Force One entering the bout undefeated over the entire two year existence of DCRG, but left them with their first ever loss, to scrappy challengers DC DemonCats. DCist contributor James Calder has become more or less the unofficial official photographer of DCRG, and he was kind enough to share some of his photos from this historic matchup. There are five remaining scheduled bouts on the Rollergirls schedule; check the web site for dates.
MORE: James clarifies that some of the photos above are from an opening "exhibition" bout betweenthe Cherry Blossom Bombshells (in pink) and a regional travel team called the Northside Stranglers, comprised of members of nearby leagues in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

See, this is what makes America great. Sweaty girljock-on-girljock action. Almost makes me wish I wasn't a lesbian trapped in a monkey's body. Almost.

Alright no one has been able to tell me straight forward:
Is it hot watching these rollerderby matches? Or mostly bigger girls bumping into each other?

Okay, not being a dick here, but is this a lesbian thing? Just curious.

I think that crowd outnumbers the total number of fans at all of the Nat's home games last season.

HCE by your comment alone says enough about you. Being an avid supporter and knowing alot of these woman I can tell you they are phenomenal regardless of who they are with. But just to satify your curiosity no its not a lesbian thing! Its a great woman's sport that is growing in popularity nation-wide. So puts some quads on and just see if you can hang with the ladies.

HCE - Asking is this is a lesbian thing is the equivalent of asking if hockey is a gay thing.

I think the crowd outnumbers every MLS game in the country. Combined.

Thanks for the clarification, and yes, hockey is a gay thing.

Then why do they have those haircuts?
(And, nothing against Scare Force One, but congrats to the DemonCats!)
