Tampa Bay Derby Darlins —
I took this picture at the roller derby last Saturday. It's the local Cigar City Mafia (in white) vs. the visiting Bradentucky Bombers from Sarasota. The Mafia won handily! As I said before, I'm not a sports fan. I think what I like about roller derby is it's "localness." I mean, the fact that it has such a small following. The competitions I've been to, there are almost as many competitors as spectators, and that's a GOOD thing! There's no million-dollar careers at stake, so in the end, it can all just be fun. Big commercial sports aren't "sports," they're products. Oh, and the athletes are ADULTS! "Little Leagues" are horror shows, if you ask me. Next season, support your local roller derby!
