In the beginning of the 21st century there was a revival of a sport that I thought cease to exist. That sport is roller derby. I remember watching it on TV when I was growing up, but had not seen it again for over thirty tears. When I learned that my niece joined a team with some of her friends, my interest was renewed. My inquiries led me to the fact that there was indeed a resurgence of the sport spearheaded mostly by women.
The game is a highly competitive sport where two teams on roller skates circle a track trying to score points over the opposing team by lapping the pack. The teams must play both offense & defense, using speed, brute physical force & strategy to win. I found the game to be both exciting and hilariously fun to watch. |
