They're discussing letting women in the NFL RIGHT NOW. They're having to because so many college teams are letting them be kickers. It's coming. I know you wont be man enough to apologize when the NFL proves you horribly worng though.

Who's "they"? And can you qualify "so many college teams"? I didn't know that there were so many of them out there.

According to ESPN that was on the topic list for the owners meeting in Phoenix last weekend. ESPN sources said they weren't going to be making policy but merely discussing it as something they were probably going to have make policy on soon.

Working from memory here but when women in male sports was discussed on Outside the Lines (about 5 months ago) I think they said there were 4 in Division A and nearly a dozen in AA. Compared to the total list of NCAA teams it doesn't sound like much, but if the ones in A were to advance to the NFL they could be the place kickers for one entire division, 1/8 of the league. They also said there were a lot trying out, though they didn't qualify that. There was a female goalie in the AHL for a while. Tammy Granato (captain of the American gold medal winning Women's Olympic hockey team) has said one of here goals in her career was to drop the gloves against her brother (who's in the NHL and was also representing America at the Olympics that year). Later she played on the Florida Heroes of Hockey team against the NHL Heroes team at the All-Star game, she even checked Gordie Howe.

Women in male sports is coming, and sooner than most of us think.
