But why does the team enrich the owners massively? There was a time when football was a glorified hobby as well, but then a league was formed, and stadiums were built, and tv contracts were signed, etc etc, and presto, football became a viable profession. The team enriches the owners massively because the team and…

I don't know which teams do sell calendars and which teams don't, nor do I know how much money those calendars generate, but the cheerleaders get paid appearance fees for that sort of thing, like a freelance modeling gig. There are women working in the front offices of those teams wearing corporate attire that make…

Most NFL cheerleaders don't stunt or get tossed into the air like you see at competitions on ESPN. I most certainly do not understand why the mascot is paid more, because I basically think the cheerleaders and mascot are on equal footing, but you could do away with the mascot and the cheerleaders tomorrow and it…

Kate Upton is overrated, in general.

I think that's why Porsha's more sympathetic than Kenya, because Porsha's not as clever as Kenya. So, people feel protective of her.

I don't watch the show either, and I don't have to as long as blogs exist. Wasn't Porsha the one making fun of Kenya for being single. Seems like Porsha was real high and mighty until her divorce. In that clip alone, Porsha called Kenya all kinds of names. So, why is the internet so pro-Porsha, like she was the one…

and that's when I stopped watching . . . because I was only watching to see what she was wearing.

Why, yes. It is April, isn't it?

Wythe! Old fashioned, homemade candy store and chocolatier

Richmond! Q Barbecue!

I forgot about Pierce's. Williamsburg is so underrated as a foodie hot spot!

Busch Gardens has the best brisket in Virginia! I live for the Smokehouse Sampler platter!

I know you know about Nawab 's.

I'm a Wahoo that lives in Hampton Roads, but I go to Williamsburg all the time to outlet shop and eat. Cheese Shop, Trellis, Paul's, Captain George's . . . Yum!

William and Mary, alum?

this is, by far, the best post on this thread.

It's a different sport, you are right. But it's a salient point. This is not dance.

My cable provider doesn't have it either. I personally like how NBC/Universal Sports broadcasts Nationals and American Cup online, not just on TV. I don't know if Universal does the same for figure skating. Like I know that the first night of US (gym) Nationals will be streamed live online. USAG is pretty fast in…

Two reasons. One being that there aren't as many competitions in the US as there used to be. In the 90's, there were all these little meets with corporate sponsors like the Reese's Gymnastics Cup or the Visa Gymnastics Challenge or the International Team Championships (ITC) , Goodwill Games, Olympic festival, and so…
