But don't worry - all the commercials during the NFL games will be the same BS. Every one will have a stupid white man next his family man black neighbor.

Thomas comes backed with a strong resume, having been the first female official to work a major collegiate bowl game. She joins eight other referees granted first-time employment for league games.
"Our incoming officials have all demonstrated that they are among the best in college football," NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said in a statement. "We are excited about having them join us."
Thomas had been doing some sideline work for Browns, Saints and Colts minicamp practices in the past, but she truly made her name through a strong resume at the NCAA level.

As long as they don’t attempt to have female players ... I think this might be OK ... BUT ..
Who will be the first transgendered NFL player?
For an NFL to play in the NFL she would have to be a veritable wookie.
And where are you going to find a wookie female....oh wait...never mind.....

If somebody can do is the job, awesome. But am I supposed to make a big wow about this because she can’t pee standing up? If you want equal whatever, don’t make me have to go oooooh, wow, when someone gets a job they are qualified for
The NFL should just make the cheerleaders do double duty as refs.
One mistake - NFL refs are not “full time,” they are still considered part-time, contract employees. It’s the only major sports league not to have full time salaried officials.
PMS could make for some really interesting and short games.
Hmmm. Women, blacks and gays..
Did you leave anyone out?
Mother of three. Not a small petite woman. A southern woman. I’m sure you boys south of the Mason Dixon line, know the type: not to be trifled with?
I would imagine, although the segment I saw didn’t get into it, but I would bet she knows her way around a firearm or two..
Just kinda got that vibe.
Oh yea, I almost forgot: Not Guilty!
All her calls are going to be good calls.
LOL!
Rah Rah Ree hit him in the knee ... Rah Rah Rass hit him in the ... other knee
Good luck to her. Her calls are going to get even more scrutiny than most hyper-scrutinized NFL officials... and her first big blunder (every ref has at least one) is going to raise a bigger ruckus than usual.
Just so long as she doesn’t change her call like that first and last gal umpire in the MLB did.
