We should be proud of the fact that we live in a world in which any young, tattooed girl can aspire to join a volunteer roller derby league. However, you shouldn't let the Rat City Rollergirls' volunteer status fool you -- this is a bustling, ever-expanding franchise with professional aspirations. And needless to say, the action both on and off the track is absolutely top-notch. The competition is real. The speed is real. The bruises are real (and painful). And the pride of competing is real, too.
