From the NYC Pride Guide, a story on the Gotham Girls Roller Derby league:
The league is made up of four home teams which play within the league (the Bronx Gridlock, Brooklyn Bombshells, Manhattan Mayhem, and Queens of Pain) and two competition teams (the Wall Street Traitors and the Gotham Girls All-Stars, compiled of league skaters from all four home teams). In 2011 the Gotham Girls won the WFTDA Championship, making them the top league in the world.
[...]
GGRD is committed to fostering serious competition on a national and international level, developing amateur athletes for competition, and promoting the physical and mental strength and independent spirit of female athletes. And they are damn entertaining! Every year there are rookies and veterans to root for. You may even become a fan of your favorite teams “Jeerleader” squad, the leagues version of cheerleaders.
