Title: Spelling Bee
Post by: KCcat28 on May 28, 2009, 09:56:56 PM
Girl from my hometown Olathe, Kansas won it this year

I think this deserves to be on the sports part of the site considering this thing was on ESPN...

Once used this in a class debate to prove cheerleading isn't a sport:

Cheerleader:  "Cheerleading competitions are on ESPN!!  This makes it a sport!!!1"

me:  "So is the national spelling bee.  (laughing condescendingly)--> Would you consider spelling a sport?"

Cheerleader:  "No.  I've clearly lost this debate."

me:  "Yes, that is right."
