Fat Acceptance in Roller Derby Let me tell you about roller derby. Despite what you might think about the sport because of the fat cows in recreational leagues that give us a bad name, in competitive roller derby there are far more fit girls than butterhuffers. (I present Suzy Hotrod, Scald Eagle, and Akers as proof.) Watch a Team USA bout sometime, it's good stuff. However, this sport that I love has a big problem. Fat acceptance. Some of these cows that come to our league I just cannot believe they are able to hoist themselves up onto skates without breaking something. Then when they fall I have to hold my breath because I just know they are going to land on someones ankle and snap it with their girth. All of the fit women I skate with are total sympathizers too, always encouraging them that are getting better and if they keep working they will get placed on a team soon. There are some fatties that have made it onto teams too. When our team is winning so much that score no longer matters they let the fatties jam (that's the girl with the star that earns the points in the game) and they all just cheer so loud. As it is panting on the ground they pat this subhuman waste on the back for scoring 2 points or for just trying really hard. Meanwhile your normal human shaped jammers have scored 70 or 100 points and didn't need special attention to do it. It just makes me sick and makes me want to pick up a new sport, any suggestions? I guess I don't really have a point here but just needed to rant. As the sole shitlord in my league that is hiding in the closet it is nice to have FPH for my outlet.
