Roller Derby

The most unruly game known to man or woman is the Roller Derby. Revived every so often on television, it has no rival for violent, brutal action. The game commences with two teams on roller skates circling a banked, oval track. Then one or two skaters try to break out of the pack and "lap" the opponents. When the skater leaves the pack, the brawl begins. No sport can duplicate the vicious shrieking, pushing, elbowing, and fighting all at high speed while the skaters are whirling around the track. And women are just as much of a menace as the men. Often considered the underdog, the female skater can thrust a pointed fingernail into the face of a bewildered enemy.
