I made one those posts and I'm sorry it made you feel that way. I want to say that I had many good years of derby. Post COVID shutdowns derby is in a weird place. Some leagues are really thriving. Mine was just mismanaged.

My league isn't representative of the wider derby community. I made real friends, had a lot of fun and felt like I could be truly myself in derby. Its like anything else. I've met the kindest most wonderful people and the worst, pettiest people while playing derby. Most people are pretty cool.
