The NFL named the first female instant replay official in its history on Thursday after promoting Terri Valenti, who has worked in the officiating department for five years.


Valenti will work as part of 17 NFL officiating crews tasked with administering rules on the field of play. The league also announced that all 17 referees from the 2016 season will return to lead crews in the upcoming campaign, while eight new officials will join the roster of 124.

Valenti has previously served as an on-field official for high school, college and minor league games, as well as the now-defunct United Football League and the Arena Football League.

There's a 1k-5k men in this world that would be a better replay official.

"What was wrong with the call on the field?"

"Nothing..."

"Are you sure?"

"I just find it funny that..."

We'd probably still find a way to be pissed at all of them at some point.

To bad this guy isn't still around, he would give her the business if she over turned one of his calls.

If these women were qualified I wouldn't care, however you know that the NFL is going out of their way to hire any women they can for these positions solely for PR sake.

The NFL has had this weird pandering to women angle going on for the past decade now, it's so clumsy and obvious it's very tacky.
