Oh, pish, pish. Get them on the field. If they are strong enough for combat they are strong enough for the NFL. In fact, let’s go totally PC; teams must be representational of the country: x number of women, x number hispanic, heck, throw in a handicap person or two - do this and I might even watch, I would love to see the down’s syndrome kid on punt return.

What a maroon. Why not institute a Rooney Rule for women when it comes to all NFL PLAYER positions.

Last time I looked - wymyn were way under employed as NFL players. That’s sexist and that must be changed!

The Affirmative Action Football League (AAFL)...no concussion protocols, no injury timeouts...ambulances parked on the sidelines, Life Flight helos standing by in the parking lot, pastors/priests/rabbis/imams in the locker rooms to administer last rites.

Do NFL player still wear pantyhose and leggings?

Or insulated undies with granny flaps for cold weather games?

Well, i they have the qualifications...yeah.

Otherwise, no. Same witt minorities.

Seinfeld, who is probably a liberal in everything else, fought back hard when complaints came in that there were no black comedians in his special Comedians in Cars. good for him.

The worst NFL Commissioner in history to go along with the worst president in history - no wonder I'm depressed!

And another thing, even though I think he’s a nut, i think it’s cool his being from NYC had no effect on the rest of the country.

Conservatives pick who they like, even a slick city boy like trump, or a beaten up one like me :)

Anyone else irritated by the girl sideline reporters on NFL broadcasts in recent years? They seem so out of place to me. And not knowledgeable about football. Why exactly are they there?
