Goodell is determined to destroy the NFL. He is the king of DEI.

First he literally bent the knee and disrespected America to kiss Kaepernick and other black player's asses. Now, he will bend the knee again.

I guarantee he will cave. He had to know he could not fire her once she was hired, without getting the league sued.
quote:

A pioneer football official is suing the National Football League for gender discrimination during her time in her role.

Robin DeLorenzo became one of the league's first female officials in 2022 but was let go in 2025. DeLorenzo cited gender-based scrutiny, humiliation and open hostility among the indignities she suffered from during her three seasons as a league official.

The lawsuit alleges that she was sent man-sized clothing to wear and told to let her ponytail show out the hole in the back of her hat, apparently to make clear a woman was on the field. It said repeated references to her hair eventually made her want to cut it off.

Fired for being a woman, not because I suck at my job

They’re going to be in college soon and blow a call at a critical time. It’s coming.

This is way down my list of concerns. I’m a lot more worried about the ones flying airplanes.

You know why women are always cold? They're meant to be by the stove.

I don't even watch the Super Bowl.

I have not watched an hour of NFL football total, since Kap and the black national anthem.

I absolutely hate not watching. I love football with a passion. The NFL is no longer watchable for purely political reasons.

Makes no sense. NFL wants to hide the fact she is a woman by giving her clothes that swallow her up but make sure everyone knows she is woman with the hair sticking out? Which is it?

Given the choice flying with a woman pilot or a fully automated self flying aircraft, which would you rather?

This is why you can't have women in certain spaces. Grown male athletes say some vile things to each other and women just aren't equipped to handle it.

I think it was Colorado that had the first female place kicker in college football. They brought her in during a blowout game to kick a short field goal. The kick hit her snapper in the butt. They dropped her. She sued for gender discrimination and got some money as a settlement. NFL will give this girl some money to shut her up.

Our conference gave Vandy's DEI kicker special teams player of the week, in a game they lost 41-0. Stealing opportunities and awards from those who actually deserve it. "Player of the week" as a placekicker for scoring 0 points and a 30 yard squib kick.

Thank God we don't have to worry about men ever blowing a call at a critical time.
