I used to see roller derby on TV when I was a kid... men and women, though it seemed the women were most popular. This was the 50s, remember, and aggressive, out-there women were NOT. I had the feeling that everyone though these gals were, like, "trailer trash" (stereotype reference, not politically correct) and therefore it was marginally OK for them to do this. But no one WE knew would... LOL...

Anyway, they WERE athletic and strong and fast and seemed mean and aggressive and "hard" and I got the impression that it was the point to cheat, but of course not get caught by the officials. There would be talk about what this one did and that one did and the penalties that were or were not imposed... and the ones that got away with it kinda gloated... of course eventually they would slip up and get a penalty, so I think it kinda evened out over a season or so...

I BET that was a fun dream! It's great when it's ok to be strong and fast and kick butt.
