Comment on Discussion about Concussions by Elizabeth

“…..little to no contact….” While the sport of womens hockey excludes hitting as seen in men’s hockey, anyone who has watched women’s hockey, especially at the university level can attest to the fact that it is a very physical sport with often dangerous checks. Concussions are a concern for all contact sports, and it shouldn’t be mistaken that women’s hockey is one of them.

Comment on Roller derby isn’t about lipstick and fishnets by Grace

Grace — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 23:58:33 +0000

I am so impressed by this article! Too many times have I opened a news article about roller derby only too find inaccurate facts and misleading portrayals. Roller derby is a serious and competitive sport, a truth that is often hidden behind theatrical and sexual twists. While modern roller derby has had a relatively recent introduction within North America, the fact that it is currently the fastest-growing women’s sport can’t be overlooked. There’s obviously something there; thousands of women (and men) across our nation have already seen it. Why many facets of the media still haven’t caught on to this is beyond me. To those reporters, sure, sex sells – for now. But what are we to do ten years down the line when roller derby has hit an all-time high? All you have to do is ask any player: it’s not just a craze.

And with all that said, I’d like to offer you my sincerest gratitude. Thank you for endeavouring to look a little bit harder and actually see what lies behind the myths. This article has truly brightened my day.

I’ve never been referred to as a “musician” before. Ouch Ontarion, ouch. Didn’t you hear, Exclaim loves us. :p This was a good review though.
