    No. no way...no female refs in professional football......it would cause problems. lets face it, in that environment, men would bully the lady refs if it were to happen. QUESTION: NFL To Use First-Ever Female Referee: Are Female Refs Good for Football?

    I don't see anything good coming out of injecting a woman into a man's sport to penalize men. It's just going to open the door for more women, and I think it's a stupid idea to have a bunch of women officiating a game played by men.
    I don't watch football anyway, so go ahead and ruin it, because I'm convinced that's what will happen...

    Absolutely not. Not only is it awkward. But she is gonna get hurt. And someones gonna complain. And she will sue the NFL. Then they will make the sport worse and worse. With all the rules it has now its hard to watch. But with female refs. They will make it a 50 million dollar fine to hit refs now. Just watch. Then they will make it a fine to shove refs even though they have done that for a long time. She will cause problems. Also. Why would you want a female ref. Where is the female quarterback? There is none. Where is the female line backer? There is none. Women just do not belong in football. period

    The only question should be "will she be a good referee." And considering some of the bozos they have on the field these days, she can't be any worse.

    yeah, cheerleaders should be the only women on the field. or the female owner who inherited the team from her husband or their divorce settlement.

    They can make bad calls just a well as the men who throw flags at the wrong time.

    I don't see why gender matters. A good ref is a good ref, no matter what's between their legs.

    It isn't a woman's ability that I question....rather it is the fact that the players will abuse a woman ref. Sure, she could handle it for a while, but in the end, I think the idiocy of players will win out. Please don't think that I mean all players. But enough would become problems.

    yeah, in pro ball. it matters.

    While, I'm not saying they are bad for football, they just aren't good for football. So, "if your not helping...then your probably hurting."


    Should read "They" not "I". lol
    I bring nothing to the table gif



    Nope, but then again I don't like women on the sidelines either.

    So what? Male cheerleaders? pfft. stupid comment go away
  • BoardinOK jake 2012/08/14 13:23:38

    Who said anything about male cheerleaders? Besides, when do they show cheerleaders on TV? Oh, they don't unless it's on a reality show.
  • jake BoardinOK 2012/08/15 01:09:50

    You said you don't like women on the sidelines. those are cheerleaders. and if you've ever watched football they show the cheerleaders at least 4 times.
  • BoardinOK jake 2012/08/15 13:56:31

    Sorry, meant sideline reporters. My bad. They only show them going to commercials.
