I can’t even front when I first saw the headline I immediately though this………
Then I got my mind out of the gutter and actually read the story.
Here is what the NFL says about female officials coming to a stadium near you 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,” 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.
Personally I don’t care who the officials as long as they make the correct calls and maybe the ladies can replace some of these 90 year old men who are currently patrolling the field.
