So American Gladiators is Back on TV…Now How About Some Roller Derby!

A time when men could wear tight lycra shorts and roller skates and still be cool.

Kansas City has an all female Roller Derby league with many teams. Each team has a theme they go buy, for example the Rosies who all dress up like the famous WW2 Rivet Girl poster.
