I Think I Misunderstood This Title

Is it "I'm a Fan of sports and female"? Or "I'm a fan of sports involving females"? I'm taking it as the latter. And here's my favorite...
Roller derby, of course.
I admire all female athletes, but the sport of roller derby has my heart all up in it. I have made so many friends with girls I thought I hated. I have a whole team of sisters now, and it is incredible. I, the weird girl who likes to read and cried too much, have a girl gang.
We built something from the ground up, we've struggled through coaches, serious lack of funds, injuries, and a mess of girls who didn't realize that it was, indeed, a sport, not just skating around in cute clothes, along with getting kicked out of most of our skating venues for ridiculous reasons. But we're still going and getting better than ever. We had our first season this year and got stomped, but we held our own and learned priceless lessons.
Derby has changed my life. I need it, I can't wait to improve, for our team to improve, for us to get closer as friends and competitors. I can't wait to heal up and get back in action!

Too bad I'm out for a while. But luckily, I have an incredibly hot referee skirt!
