Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Roller derby isn't just a very entertaining spectacle, it's a real athletic endeavor -- as anyone who saw the national WFTDA championships earlier this month at the 1stBank Center could tell you.
Or just listen to Pet Scoop:
Despite the crazy names and eccentric themes, roller derby is definitely a real sport, and anyone who has been to a match can see these athletes definitely work up a sweat.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
