This is so stupid. My brothers played footballl, and I KNOW they would not have felt comfortable tackling a female. Kickers do get tackled to the ground every now and then....

If you are correct, then logically it would be to the teams benefit to enroll this gal as a kicker (if she has talent) -- since if the opposing team really was more hesitant to tackle her -- more goals!

How come women never try out for center?

Ah, the noble femimist legacy of Heather Mercer. Thanks to her and her BS lawsuit against Duke, I don't foresee very many females being offered the option of trying out. The brilliant ruling in that case said that teams don't have to let females try out, but if they do, they must treat them "equally"-which of course means hold them to a lower standard. That's a no-brainer to most programs.
