Derby Widow

The girlfriends, boyfriends and spouses of Roller Derby Girls call themselves “Derby Widows”. The term originates from the fact that Roller Derby is a sport as well as a faith-based initiative and can be very time consuming, leaving ones life partner "widowed".

If you are a girl dating a Derby Girl, don’t try and fight it. You will probably become one too.

If you're a guy dating a Roller girl, either accept your derby widow status, or try to support her by supporting the league as a volunteer.
