While my words were indeed written in jest, perhaps it was a bit too irreverent. I think the appeal of Roller Derby is as much the attitude and fiestiness (is this a word?) of the players as the excitement of the sport itself. I see Miz Con SepJen's rebellion as a testimony to the independence and energy of the Roller Girls. To your point however, perhaps the crowd's support of defiance is a bit misplaced; the refs are indeed fantastic! Their eyes caught 156 penalties in the inter-league match so they certainly play a huge role in keeping the sport fair. They also work their butts off with statistics and keeping the game rolling. Thanks for the comment Violet! We love Roller Derby, and these events would be impossible without the folks in stripes. Good point Violet!

Rather than saying that they were fools for doing such-and-such a thing, (even if the word is used only in jest) perhaps we should be congratulating them on a job well done! after all, the refs are just as much a part of roller derby as the skaters are, and without them, there would hardly be much of a game to watch! Love your recaps, but the last part of this one made me a bit sad. :(

Hopefully someday we'll be able to see the Stepford Sabotage up against the Boston teams. Nice! I’m glad Roller Fever is spreading. It’s such a fun time.

It was the Cosmonaughties against the Nutcrackers. I recently attended the latest bout of the Boston Derby Dames and it was everything I had hoped for.
