http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/sarahthomas.jpg?w=158 AP The NFL has never had a woman work as an on-field game official. That may change soon.
NFL V.P. of Officiating Carl Johnson told Jane McManus of ESPN.com that he expects to hire a female official.
“We have some in our pipeline, and I expect we’ll see it soon (http://espn.go.com/espnw/news-opinion/6854588/calling-shots-nfl-women-pipeline),” Johnson said.
Johnson wouldn’t say who the female officials in the pipeline are, but he was presumably talking about either Sarah Thomas, a Conference USA official who was the first woman to officiate a major college football game, or Terri Valenti, who was the second female official in major college football and the first in pro football when she worked a UFL game last year.

We live in the Last Days according to the accurate Biblical prophecy when all kinds of immodesty and perversions will brake out of control especially women's revolution inspired by a demonic radical feminism.Women as men in men's sports as it is coming to NFL.Feminization of US Military as well as GLBT in military.Abortions.Dominance over men.Women as pastors.Etc.Things will get worse.Once Justice of The US Supreme Court,Robert Bork,wrote a true warning book Going Toward Gomorrah.

Why? I don't see the point to it.

Why? I don't see the point to it.

Probably a few different reasons. 1) being because it is still a male populated field and to prove a point. Another I have actually read quoted in other articles. That some feel that if the players surround the refs because of disapproval...folks won't stand for the aggression if directed at a woman. Maybe they think they will tone down some of the players this way or something?

I don't buy that last one a bit.

As far as it being a male-dominated field, well, yeah. It's an all-male game last I checked. So I'd go for the same reason they had some big stink in the 80s over female journalists in the locker room -- another ridiculous decision, IMO -- some feminists with an agenda just want to push the boundaries some more.

Isn't that the feminist goal though...to tame the Alpha male. Someone probably told them that this would be a good way to retrain the players brain's during games...and get them to stop swearing and berating officials (and they ran with it). I agree it's stupid...reminds me of some of the idiotic crap they think up to make the work place more diverse in the corp world too.

What's the point in "taming" an Alpha male? Then he's no longer Alpha ... which can be much less appealing to said female-type persons.

We, as ladies, are supposed to abhor violence. But the reality is that deep down - and for some of us, much closer to the surface - we aren't that far removed from the females of other species that watch the males battle it out for mating rights. Why else would male strippers be buff and oiled up so they look all sweaty? :cool:

Probably why the female NFL fanbase has boomed in the last 30 years or so too. Deep down we like em rugged and manly,and society keeps trying to thin out the herd.

"perversion" would be a word I'd use to describe some of your interpretations of the Bible.

I'm not seeking scientific data and honestly I wasn't really looking at it the way you are in the bigger picture of things, the lemon presented in a way that it sounded to me that there was a time morally better when women had their place beneath man. I dunno, is that a morally better way then the present?

Perhaps a female is not best suited to be a NFL official but god stated so himself or again, a biblical interpretation?

I must have missed the whole women submissive to men thing. I thought Prince was just saying that women should be women, and men should be men. Which I know is controversial to feminists, lol.

Didn't the men in Bible times have long hair? God specifically told Samson not to cut his hair, as it was his strength. God made their hair grow long, just as a woman's does ... so who cares?

I've never seen an artist's rendering of Jesus with short hair. That could be interesting, though.
