Vometia is so right... unfortunately. We may have the best football, but we paid for it by not getting the cheerleaders!

I hadn't thought of the "what will I watch on telly?" aspect: which is a bit of a "doh!" moment since that's what most people do rather than the playing or attending I was thinking of.
I rather enjoy the Winter Olympics and similar stuff: for me it seems to have a certain civility that other sports sometimes lack, though most of its constituent parts tend to be hideously dangerous. It's also paradoxically something that Britain is reasonably good at in spite of the lack of snowy peaks in our locale: but we (well, I say "we": the athletes who actually put in the effort, that is) seem to have rather more successes than the numerous sports invented in these isles which everyone else thrashes us at.
On the random times I've seen rally driving it looks quite exciting, certainly compared to the Forumla 1 my friend was obsessed with (actually I think it was mainly because she fancied Damon Hill) but I've never really made a point of watching it. Maybe I should, given that my own driving "skills" tend to... erm... well, I just remember things like going up a 4' embankment backwards and ending up in a ploughed field. I guess I'm lucky that the car was still driveable. And that I appear to be in possession of all four limbs. Such was the frenetic drive to work.

GO GATORS!!! Nah, I'm also in Florida but I don't give a rip, sorry. I go to the Gators vs. Bulldogs game each year but it's more of a social thing. Sometimes I have a football game on TV in the background, because it's oddly soothing (reminds me of my childhood I think). There are medieval and Scottish festivals that come through Jacksonville once a year so I go to see archery competitions, weapon demonstration, dudes in kilts throwing big logs end over end, that kind of thing. And that's about it. Unless...is air guitar competitions a sport?

Hi everyone just reading the intresting debate on mascots and cheerleaders and I agree lets ditch the mascots and get some cheerleaders into English football. Although it may be intresting on a cold wet Tuesday night away at Scunthorpe.

Not quite so much fun for the poor cheerleaders, that, I'd have to agree!

After some of the games I've been to while following Leicester city for the last 20+ years the cheerleaders do sound appealing and if there is a wet t-shirt thrown in for good measure then all the more better for it
