Grand Poobah replied to DavidSams's discussion 'Derby Reinvented: Commentary on 21st Century Roller Sports'
How much are those trademarks really worth in this day and age? Hundreds of leagues have managed to carve out some degree of success without them. From all appearances the Firebirds seem to be drawing better than the T-Birds did a couple years back…

I think there's room enough for all kinds of derby. I've noticed some tendencies on yours and some other posters part to blame the existence of this or that league/sport/whatever for another's failure to succeed. Which is rather silly. MMA and pro…

I agree with Mr. Van that basically there is too much talk and not enough action. Flat track skating is doing good but they are getting their sport out there. You won't get rich getting it going again, just get it going. As I said hit the fairs this…

Anthony, I agree ARSD is just a barnstorm league that thinks California is the only place in the world to skate. We can just make a new league without there consent or interference, I would like to have the name Bay Bombers and if it take in court t…

It saddens me to say this Linda, but the economics for bringing back the "Roller Games" aren't there anymore, and I've grown to love today's grassroots game even more today than the memories of recent past derbies on TV ! :(

As a veteran Boston Derby Dames fan, I must say that I love your last pair of statements, and while we're at it how about we rag on the ARSD promoter Dan Ferrari and his "cheerleader" , Tim Patten for their stubborn refusal to wake up with the times…

K.C. "The Rollerpunk" Vann replied to DavidSams's discussion 'Derby Reinvented: Commentary on 21st Century Roller Sports'
Hmmm every one is asking for banked track vs flat track. Well does it matter? If you want banked track make it a legit professional league. That is what is should be. Flat track has succeeded way beyond everyone's expectations and there should be re…

So far from what I have been hearing practically nothing that is being said or done. What's the problem folks? Already Women's Roller Derby have succeeded where they are very popular. One word....there is no drama or storyline! Roller Derby could do…

UPDATE: I neglected to mention that the Braves were wearing blue jerseys with alternating red and white shoulder bars in '62, with the other original IRDL teams following suit in '63. Now I stand corrected - my bad!
