content: Bad Girl Good Woman Production roller derby program for an exhibition match on Saturday March 15, 2003 at the Austin Music Hall. During this match, skater Whiskey L’Amour suffered a badly broken leg and because this was not their usual venue the league's insurance did not cover the accident. This was just another incident in which BGGW Productions proved poor management and in fighting were not good business practice.
label: Description (Brief)
content: Modern roller derby began in 2001 after four teams were formed and founded under the Bad Girls Good Women Productions (BGGW) name. In 2002, the flat track derby, Texas Rollergirls was formed from 65 members of the first BGGW teams after a disagreement over management practices caused a permanent split. BGGW took the remaining 15 skaters and became the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls forming a banked track league. A truly grass roots movement, the flat track derby uses a not-for-profit organizational model with female identifying skaters running the leagues and using their own money to buy rink time, produce tournaments, and print programs, putting any money earned, back into the organization.
