If the NFL turns to replacement referees this season, it will open the door for a bit of league history.

Buried deep within Sam Farmer's Los Angeles Times report on referees and the NFL squabbling is news that one of the potential replacements is a woman.

    Yes, oh god! A female referee... what is the world coming to.

    Give me a break, it doesn't take brawn in order to see two fat people grabbing each other inappropriately and toss a flag on the play.

    Most linemen are just fat. Are they very strong? Yes. Could they squish me like a bug? Yes. Doesn't change that they are fat.

    The question at hand is not should women play in the NFL. It was talking about female referees. Your comment can only be taken in context, and since context doesn't exist in your post then it must be taken from the topic at hand, which is about female referees.

    Too bad half of the replies on this thread are commenting in women playing in the nfl. But either way, I bet popularity would drop with female refs. Those guys occasionally get caught up and run over by those players. A normal sized woman wouldn't do so well with that.

    True, people hurrying to comment instead of paying attention to what they're commenting on. I chose you, though, so the rest of those who lack reading comprehension don't matter. :)

    I doubt popularity would drop, Americans are into the action of football too much to care who is reffing. Although if she's cute the players might actually run into her more often. :D

    I honesty doubt that. There are fully padded, full contact women's football teams around the country and no one pays attention to them. Why? Because women who are large enough and strong enough to play contact football aren't, typically, the "sexy little things" that men want to watch. It's a fact, women sports are always second to men's. If its the sex appeal people want, stick to
    lingerie football not the NFL.

    You really think that people would be less interested in football just because there's a woman referee on the field?

    I don't know... seems to me that people who like football are watching for the football players, not the referees. I could be wrong though, maybe people like seeing the guys in zebra shirts running around with yellow flags they throw at people, and a woman just wouldn't fit their fantasy of the perfect ref.

    Most of that second paragraph was a joke and didn't have anything to do with the fan watching the game. I mean really, a little reading comprehension can't be too much to ask... can it?

    Your reading comprehension obviously isn't as on point as you think it is. I was addressing the comment you made in the last sentence of your previous reply. I said nothing about female refs, I was speaking about women PLAYING football. Once again, I could care less about female refs, though I doubt it will happen in the near future.
  • Tom v 2012/08/02 18:16:16

    Perhaps you should read that last paragraph from my previous reply again. You do recall, don't you, that paragraphs are supposedly about the same particular point, if you switch subjects (points) you begin a new paragraph.

    Therefore, unless you're a politician, you can't cherry pick one sentence from a paragraph and address it as whatever you have chosen to believe it to be about.

    "I doubt popularity would drop, Americans are into the action of football too much to care who is reffing. Although if she's cute the players might actually run into her more often. :D"

    Now, let's look at it... at one point it says "Americans are into the action of football too much to care who is reffing". Ah, there you see it, the paragraph is about American reaction to who would be reffing. Interesting. So it just might be, then, that the next line about the players running into her more often would be if she was a ref. Come now, that's not even high school level English we're dealing with there.

    I love people who attack others intelligence in a debate. Keeping it classy.
  • Tom v 2012/08/02 20:47:44

    I haven't attacked your intelligence so much as condemned an entire education system.

    I also haven't attacked your intelligence in a debate. For there to be a debate both parties have to be on the same page, and it seems we've failed that many times over.

    You began saying they would ruin football, by context it must mean female refs. I doubted that.
    You said you were talking about female players and "But either way, I bet popularity would drop with female refs." Again, I doubted that with "Americans are into the action of football too much to care who is reffing."
    You went back to female players, but led off with "I honesty doubt that." I had figured that your rant about female football leagues was in support, somehow, of female refs (since I had not realized we had lost each other, yet again).

    So there hasn't been any debate here, there's been discussion about two different topics and the condemnation of jumping to conclusions without paying attention to what's been written/said (which relates to reading comprehension).

    Especially not as players. I don't like male figure skaters either, they make me want to vomit. As a ref, I still don't like it. Sometimes, refs get smashed.
