"Have you ever seen [Barkov] fall? Has he ever fallen? He's never fallen his entire career!" "Uh—It's, uh, funny and I don't know if he'll care that I say this, but he's got those—he doesn't like the blades that you can snap in and out quickly. So when he needs to get his skates done in the middle of a game, he's gotta fully take off his skates, get 'em sharpened and retie them up—which is like one of the few guys in the league, I think, that still do that. So sometimes he'll have absolutely no edge, and he'll just find a way to, like, compensate and get through it—which is incredible." "That kind-of sucks though 'cuz that's like a bad dream to have. You're waiting on something else, like—even if the trainers just like snapped it back in or whatever, like maybe they had something different they can put in there. He probably wouldn't even know!" "[...] this guy's particular. He knows his game and he's goddamn good at it! And we don't say a word so!" "'Barky, we need you out there for the face off! There's two seconds left!'" "That's what I mean! He'll compensate and he'll still look better than all of us! Like if any of us had no edge like that, we'd be screwed, right? And he goes out there and does the Barky things that he does. We're all grateful for it! He's been getting me paid for 10 years now, so."

saying this as someone who never grew out of my Barbie princess phase but it pisses me off when people act like little girls automatically want to be Disney princesses/ballerinas/whatever and couldn’t possibly have other interests and if they do it’s because some evil young girl hating adult is pushing feminism on them against their will

Sky sports bringing up 2021 when they want to talk about Lewis’s motivation…like actually give it a fucking rest you bunch of dumbasses. Maybe if the dude wasn’t poor for most of the season he could have but he was out driven all season by a better driver.

I feel sorta disloyal, but I’m trying out a different roller derby league today.

The practical reason is that - the city I live in doesn’t have roller derby, so I have to go to a nearby city either way. The one I went to initially was just the first one I found googling, and my therapist is there anyways, so I figured eh alright, this is the convenient option. But actually the other city is a little closer, so in a way more convenient for me.

The positive reason is - I have gotten very excited about roller derby and skating in general, but there aren’t any public skating rinks here, so the best way to get more time on the skates is to join a second league so I get four opportunities per week to skate instead of just two.

The slightly less positive reason is I’m a bit annoyed at some aspects of how my original league is run. I got the chance to play in two scrimmages, and I had a fuckin blast, and only after that second scrimmage did one of the trainers passive-aggressively hint that actually I shouldn’t have been in the scrimmage. Overall they’re super strict about what you’re allowed to do. Some trainers even more so than others. And like yes, it’s a dangerous sport, but there are ways to more safely do stuff and it feels a bit stifling

…..

Anyways I didn’t finish writing this. But I went and did the thing, and it was a beginner training cuz it’s fresh meat day, but it was still a lot of fun. I absolutely will get a chance to do more scrimmages there. Well, as long as we get enough people interested. Cuz at the first place the issue is the team is too big and too focused on the official Bundesliga games. The second place, it’s almost too small. They said only 8 people regularly show up to practices. Ideally you need 15 for a game. Theoretically you only have 5 on the track at once, but it’s a damn hard sport so you need time to catch your breath.

The way my initial team talks about it all they say they’re just focused on safety. I shouldn’t play in scrimmages because I don’t have enough control over all the finer points of skating yet. Which, I’m sure that is a real part of it. The new team has a different perspective though - they think the initial team is just very focused on funneling people into the Bundesliga games. For now I’m happier to go to the second team where they’re more chill overall. In fact, I’m allowed to do both, so I’ll just do that for now
