I don’t subscribe to the theory women have to be admitted into the male sports team locker-room before everything in the universe can whir along blissfully.

In reverse, I don’t think men should have to insert themselves into every venture women wish to take on.

As a person who has followed sports for many years, I can tell you that a fan can instantly tell when someone who hasn’t played the game starts making color commentary.

For this reason, the people I have enjoyed listening to most, are the people who have played the game. They know what it’s like to think under pressure, take the big hit, deliver the big hit, and participate in the game winning play.

The Barbie types that make decent eye-candy are okay, if that’s what you’re into, although I don’t know why involve football in it if that’s your context.

Having some 5’ 0” 98 pound woman explain the finer workings of a game played by 6.5 225 - 300 pound men seems downright weird.

I remember one case where a kid got hurt from dehydration during practice and the fox news lady tried to get Terry Bradshaw to say the practices were too hard.

I mean it was Terry Bradshaw.
