Fuck Yeah Roller Girls

I’m interested to know what other skaters think about the continuation of derby names in our sport.

Strange. I don’t agree with this at all.
From a fans perspective, I think derby names make this sport more interesting and unique. And I’ve never thought any of these skaters are less of an athlete because of their persona. In my opinion, It’s just another little thing that makes derby different and much greater than any other sport. I don’t want to see roller derby become something it’s not. -Sammy Slam
