Fiveonfive stands in support of Black Diaspora Roller Derby and Team Indigenous Rising.

We are responsible for decolonizing our sport and intervening when we see racist attitudes. Discrimination and exclusion do not belong in the sport of roller derby. These athletes have every right to compete as a team. Borderless Teams belong in roller derby.
