No it is entirely fictional although it is similar to Roller Derby in that two teams clad in body armor skate on roller skates around a banked, circular track. There, however, the similarity ends. The object of the game is to score points by throwing a softball-sized metal ball into their goal, which is a cone-shaped area inset into the wall of the arena (the opposing team's goal being on the opposite side of the track). It is a full-contact sport in which players have considerable leeway to attack opposing players in order to take or maintain possession of the ball and to score points; in fact, in this overpopulated future, the object of the game in the original short story is to kill off the players. In addition, each team has three players who ride motorcycles to which teammates can latch on and be towed. The player in possession of the ball must hold it in plain view at all times.

Not nowadays.
But --- maybe --- in the future. It is a sci.-fi.-movie --- and a frightening one. People are unemployed and bored. So they play "Rollerball" --- not that stupid this idea. It seems to be better than making war... I am young and I will face the future. But --- I hope --- there is no Rollerball-game for me, my beloved, my husband and my children....

Yes. It has rules and everything to qualify it as a sport. However, there are currently no arenas or players of the sport.
