WFTDA loses longtime member league

Word came out this week that Dixie Derby, Huntsville Alabama's longtime WFTDA member league will no longer be participating in the WFTDA. I know several people involved with that league but this came as a shock to me. I tried to reach the various contacts I have gotten to know over the years but received no reply. The only thing I have found that vaguely resembles an explanation is this picture from the sports section of their local newspaper that was taken at their last bout on May 21st:

On the bright sidee, there are some kickbutt deals for skates and accessories listed on Craigslist in the Huntsville area right now.


(Thanks to Dixie Derby's eRacerX for sending me the pic!)

Stay Classy NZ

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but sometimes I think a picture should be worth 50 lashes. The logo for Viagros Roller Derby in New Plymouth, New Zealand is one such picture.

I can't decide if that's the best slogan in roller derby or the worst.
