You don't know the backstory of the male refs in the nfl. What's to say they played football? Yet you automatically assume (because she's female) she knows less about football than her male counterparts? I'm sorry bro I usually respect you as a poster but I'm having a hard time interpreting this as anything other than sexism.

It's not sexism It's a 100 percent to do with sport. I have no problem with female refs in male sports that females play.

I think what @lockdnram21 is trying to say is women generally do not have the same type of passion about the game as men. How will she handled being booed? Will there be sexual harassment throughout the season by the fans or even the male refs? Most women I talk to know next to nothing about football. My sister doesn't even know what a first down is.

The refs have been god awful the last couple years and any type of change is welcomed, but I think any normal person would question whether or not she knows the actual game as well.

My wife got me more in to football than I ever was before I met her. No need to make generalizations. There are a lot of people out there who know more about football than you do, statistically some of them are women.

If she can call a better game and keep up, all for it.


only thing I would be worried about is her absolutely getting destroyed by a player on accident

I think only Ed Hochuli is safe from that.
But he's getting up there in years, so maybe not even him now.

true - but even she would still have a drop off in body weight from the next ref

My sister is every bit as knowledgeable about football as I am. That's a pretty low bar but it points out the error of thinking women can't be just as tuned into football as men. She doesn't agree with me about everything (she's obviously smarter than me :LOL:) and she approaches some subjects from a different direction than I do but that's all to the good. I've tried to talk her into posting here but she works two jobs just to support herself and takes care of my 84 year old mother. Claims she doesn't have time for it. :rolleyes: Slacker.

who's our best looking/charming guy on the roster, we need to make sure his charm is on point this off season So everytime we get a damn flag he can run up to her and talk her out of the penalty.

I think that only works when women are doing the persuading. :LOL:
