At least it's not pulling numbers out of your arse. Is 15 seconds of research too much to ask for?
His numbers weren't off enough to make a difference or necessitate some snide remark like yours IMO. See has no business in the NFL

No. Females want equality? She has no business kicking in the NFL before someone like Cole Tracey, who most likely will never have the chance given his distance limitations.
lol you guys are so fricking triggered by this. It's hilarious. If she can't cut it she won't play. NFL teams aren't going to sign her just because she's a woman. If she's good enough, she'll get signed. If not, she'll get cut. It happens literally every day in the league.

The 3 inches could make a distance when it comes to the main part of the job: kicking.

I'm triggered by stating facts?

37 year old women get NFL tryouts without ever playing competitively? That should get more media coverage.

TIL short people can't kick far. At least that seems to be your argument.

How are you having this much trouble? Just going by height alone, the taller person would likely have the potential to kick harder and farther. Longer leg could lead to faster foot speed.

She's a world class soccer player. Not some random 37 year old woman. She also hasn't had a tryout yet. She's just been contacted by teams after she kicked a 55 yarder. And I know she took 7 steps or whatever. I am sure she will train to kick real field goals.
Again. I don't know why y'all are so mad about this. It's not like she's trying to take your job.

I'm not having any trouble. The guy not having her height correct isn't going to change how far she kicks

Could being the operative word there. We aren't talking about the max potential in a vacuum though. And if we are, surely you then have to agree that 5'7" female will never be able to kick farther than 5'7" male?

Discussing the absurdity of her getting any shot at the NFL is being mad? May a swell shut down discussion boards if we can't discuss things.
ETA: I literally can kick a football father than here at this moment with the proper amount of steps. No NFL teams would even take a call from me. You really trying to defend this as anything other than PR?

Not one mentioned that if a ball is tipped and she happens to recover it that it’s a live play and she would then be tackled by grown arse men.
They also failed to note that as one of 11, if the opposing team recovers and is running it back, she is expected to try and tackle to prevent a score the other way.
Oh and how about blind side blocks that we see on these tipped FGs on kickers trying to make a play?
Do you know how many blocked field goals occurred in 2018? 9. Out of 907 attempts.
Add in PAT attempts (1182) and the total of blocked kicks jumps up to 13.
So 13 blocks on 2089 attempts. A grand total of .6%.

And how many of those did the kicker recover or attempt to make a tackle?

I would pay good money to see her be the last line of defense between a 200 pound grown arse man coming down the sideline at 20mph and the end zone on a kick return. It would be borderline assault.

Like with most kickers.

Will look something like this

Or how about the fact she has never kicked a field goal in a game
Posted on 8/29/19 at 9:42 am to Covingtontiger77
She’s not that much smaller than Martin Gramatica.
