roller derby
Adriana: por ahora, el deporte no tiene traducción, se juega únicamente en Estados Unidos (aunque en algún momento se practicó también en Canadá) y en las contadísimas oportunidades en que ESPN transmitió algún encuentro, los comentaristas latinoamericanos lo llamaron "roller derby".

: Mis disculpas por el disagree, Lydia, pero no se trata de una competencia de patinaje, sino de un deporte de contacto donde dos equipos se enfrentan en un partido y van sumando puntos

Discussion
Roller derby is an American contact sport—and historically, a form of sports entertainment—based on formation roller skating around a track. While traditionally a professional (paid) sport for both women and men, roller derby has developed a predominantly female, amateur circuit in its current revival.
