A little backstory to the video taken from the roller derby leagues page...
"Within these promotions, Pirate City Rollers (PCR) were trying to challenge the idea that derby is spectacle, fishnets, etc, the theme being defy expectation. So they decided that rather than use those stereotypes to garner interest, PCR intentionally used those 'props' to highlight that although that's what people have come to expect of roller derby, in the derby shots, you see no fishnets, no hot pants, no spectacle. You instead see helmets, safety gear, refs, team uniforms, a team of skaters....a sport to be respected....the girls defy expectation and break away from the traditional ideas commonly associated with our sport. And although they defy expectation and show you that it's about the game (and the sport), it also suggests you can be whatever rings true to you and still be a success in roller derby. No 'one' ideal defines what your players can be. #defyexpectation"
