No matter what you know or
don't know about roller derby, a night
at the rink is better served if you
embrace its uniqueness and don't
judge, but interpret. Enjoy it for what
it isn't (overexposed, overpriced to
the point of exhaustion, tedious and
uneventful)—and also for what it is (a
fast-paced, competitive entity with
an evolving set of rules designed to
enhance a better sport for everyone).
"Roller derby is a whole different sport than what
most people know or watch," concludes Jannette McDonald. "Our sport doesn't have a
ball to follow; your body technically is the ball. It's a most special sport."
