Via twitter: The WFTDA is proud to announce it's 50th member league - Burning River Roller Girls in Cleveland, Ohio! Congrats ladies!

It's been just over two years since the ULC became the WFTDA (leadjammer.com went online about a month later) and the wildfire spread of roller derby has been so oft noted that it's almost cliché. But a little nugget of news like that comes through and makes a guy say "yeah, damn that's cool."
