Today was "Football Day" at Big S's school. It made me frown a little. All the boys were dressed up in their team colours, aspiring to be a famous player one day. Many of the little girls were also dressed in their family's team colours, aspiring to be... what? A supporter? A footballer's girlfriend?
Women's football exists no doubt, but I have never seen it in our local or national media. There are very, very few women's sports that have equal billing with men's.
Maybe that's why I love Roller Derby. I think I've just realized why my reaction to men's roller derby is "Buggar off. Let the girls have their one sport."
So next term, let's have Roller Derby Day!
Good plan! I think roller derby is amazing!
