This is stupid.

Officials for any sport should be limited to individuals who played at whatever level they're attempting to officiate.

Frick gender equality just for the hell of it.

I think that is 100% false. The BEST officials I know in many sports never played the game they officiate. It makes you actually learn the rule book and not be biased to an action

Well that's stupid. I'm sure there are rules in the rule book that the majority of current NFL players have never even heard of.

Officiating would be way worse if this was a requirement.

This is dumb. You're telling me she is more qualified than every male official in consideration for this job? I hate 2015.

Men are stronger and faster than women. This is not sexist. It is a fact of life. She does not belong on a field of professional athletes. Put her in the fricking replay booth if you insist on hiring a woman.

That is just dumb. I'll wait while you get me a list of former NBA, NFL, and MLB players that went on to become officials.

Terrible idea for the NFL. Even if you could find enough former NFL players who are still physically able to do it, every one of them would have his objectivity questioned. Most former players are were journeymen who signed onto numerous rosters and personally know many currently active players.
