I would love to see this author write an article on baseball.
"Some guys run around with sticks at an event called a "game" and throw a ball as hard as they can to hurt the player standing up front. You should run a search for 'baseball groin pulls' to see what I mean"
This isn't an article, it's an inflammatory internet post that belongs in a poorly moderated comment section.
Roller derby is a sport like any other. What makes it a community event is that it is an amazing local institution incredibly run by strong, passionate women. The author is merely perpetuating a time honored journalistic precedent of dismissing women because that have wandered to far from the norm.
