Indeed! I'm more of a football fanatic than alot of men I know (and alot more savvy about the game). Why shouldn't we then have female announcers and commentators?

Sorry guys, the day of the good ol' boys network is fading fast.

All of this has to do with slowly moving males onto the idea of female quarterbacks. Soon there will be no more bombs and no more of the "sacking" the Quarteretteback! However the male center will be the most popular position!

So, who do you think will be the first female drafted by the NFL?

I don't like it.

Actually, when I asked that question, it was only half-jokingly. I don't see any reason why women can't compete in any major league sport. If you can play the game, you deserve the opportunity to be out there. Yes, it would probably take some jobs away from male athletes (and the lower tier usually isn't all that great, anyway)...but overall, it would also improve the performance of the team as a whole.

Women are not physically able to compete with males in alot of sports, That isn't sexist but fact. You can have a fast strong women but she wouldn't last a minute in the NFL . You might get a softball player like Jenny Finch who can strike guys out pitching softball style, but nothing where there is physical contact.
