Roller Derby

Last night AJ, AMM and I went to our very first roller derby. What I knew about the sport was from the film Whip It and one episode of Psych. Maybe because it was flat track and not a rink, but there was less fighting and no hitting the wall (since there was no wall) and a slower pace around the rink than the film makes you believe. In my mind I was hoping for the excitement of hockey. Plus, Sisters of No Mercy (thanks to Ashes to Ashes) pummeled the opposing team Bomber Babes so there was not that tension who is going to win. The uniforms of hot pants on women who should not be wearing hot pants also not a plus. Go girl power, but it is not my kind of sport, though I keep trying to think of a good name to go by if I did skate.
