Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see how she reacts when the DL breaks down, a LB whiffs a tackle, and she’s the only thing between a 25 yard gain and a 5’ 11”, 225 lb. FB with his shoulder down and a fire behind his boiler.

"Safety may be the safest position on the field for her."

That's Bucs' Safety Chris Conte getting his neck snapped twice in one play by the Steelers' chiropractor Vince McDonald.

"I think Serena Williams would have made a good linebacker."

"It was the 1998 Australian Open and the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, had seen some of the male players practising. On the basis of what they saw, they were convinced that they could beat a man ranked around 200 in the world and wanted to set up a game. At the time I [Karsten Braasch] was ranked 203 so the men's tour manager mentioned the possibility of a challenge to me, thinking that I was the perfect candidate. I didn't take much persuading, it seemed like a fun thing to do.

Preparation is crucial. Remember that a game like this is light-hearted - taking it too seriously would be a mistake. My training regime consisted of a leisurely round of golf in the morning followed by a couple of shandies. I turned up on court feeling suitably laid-back.

I felt so relaxed that I didn't even warm up properly. We started playing and I raced into a 5-0 lead.

At this point Venus turned up to watch.In the end I won my game against Serena 6-1 but by the time we were at the net shaking hands, Venus was on court, ready to have a go against me as well. The game against Venus was very similar. I ended up winning 6-2.

Apparently, after the game, Serena and Venus immediately told the press they wanted to challenge a male player again. This time they revised the ranking of the man they wanted to face, to 350 in the world. I informed the journalist who told me this that in the next week I was set to lose a lot of ATP points and drop down to 350 in the rankings. I told him that if Venus and Serena waited just one week they could challenge me all over again!

That never came about, but when I saw Venus a few months later at the French Open she came up to me with a big smile on her face and said, 'You know that thing in Australia - it never happened!'"

“The Detroit native currently plays free safety for East Los Angeles Community College.”

Will she cry when a 320 pound offensive lineman blocks her and crushes her female parts?

A tiny safety will surely inspire terror in offensive players going into the middle if the field.

A publicity stunt by Central Methodist University.

Just wait for her to run a slant route in front of Jack Tatum's grandson.

The guys playing against her will be flat out told to back off.
.................................
Yep, they will either be forced to back off, which will effectively destroy the game or, if not, she will be carried off the field on a stretcher before the end of the first quarter of the first game.

She could end up paralyzed and then we'll be expected to feel bad for her. Nutty world.

I’m wondering what a jock strap for a female looks like?


Interesting question. Do female athletes in any sport have the equivalent to provide protection to sensitive areas? I’ve heard of sports bras?

It’s going to slow the game of football even further as un-piling after a play in which she is involved will take longer and longer... Will there be penalty of ejection for an erection...

Small school. Do you know how strong and fast D1 backs and receivers are?

A good injury attorney somewhere is salivating at the prospect of suing CMU in case of injury, harassment, etc.

” Hopefully she won’t get injured playing against the guys.”

Realistically , she doesn’t make it to game two. Someone will knock her jock off first game
