About
Boston, Massachusetts, will host the penultimate stop in the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2011. It's the competition's first ever visit to mainland USA. Often called the "Cradle of American History,"€ Boston, Massachusetts, was founded in 1630 and is one of America’s oldest cities. Boston is home to one of the greatest rebellions in American history, now known as the Boston Tea Party. An angry group of about 200 men marched two-by-two to the shipyard to throw overboard tea which was heavily taxed by the British Parliament. The actions of those early settlers united the American colonies, and eventually led to their independence. In current times, Boston is well-known as a sporting city, hosting professional teams including the Boston Celtics basketball team, the Boston Red Sox baseball franchise, the New England Patriots American football champions, and hockey's Boston Bruins. Sports fans in Boston are fiercely loyal, and bringing a Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series stop to their waterfront is sure to add a new sport to their rosters. Filled with cultures spanning the globe, Boston may be best immortalised in film and television for its strong and proud Irish and Italian neighbourhoods, wherein can be found many a bartender who can teach you the correct pronunciation of "Boston"€ in their one-of-a-kind accent. Divers and spectators of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series stop in Boston,€“ take note!
