Lawsuit will come, and the NFL will have to lower the standards in the name of gender equality, or else be labeled misogynistic.

Just like the military, and everything else. Everyone has to have the same outcome. Nobody is allowed to be more successful, or worse. Unless you’re one of the regulators.

... or move the goal posts closer to the kicker.
Like just past the line of scrimmage.

19 yards, huh? What that to total measurement after it rolled to a stop? Didn’t look like she even got it that far on the video.

Require a 41 man/person lineup and a new position.
The on-side kickoff kicker.

"...the NFL will have to lower the standards."

She appears to be well within my standards -

Brittney Griner is possibly the greatest women’s basketball player ever. She is a senior at Baylor University. She is very tall (6’8”) and is the first woman I’ve ever seen dunk a basketball. She is talented and is very physical. She absolutely dominates that game.

Many people think that she would be competetive on a men’s team.

I saw her play UConn a couple of weeks ago in person. There is no way that she would be competetive on a men’s team. She is far too scrawny and isn’t fast enough. She wouldn’t stand a chance against college men, and would probably get hurt pretty bad in a good high school match-up.

I can appreciate women’s sports for what they are. More finness, but less physical. But they will never be able to compete on a men’s team on anything higher than a high school level in any sport that requires physical strength. Especially football.

Heck, I’m no physical specimen at all, but even I (at my peak) was faster than any woman that has ever lived.

She actually just proved why no team in their right mind would ever have a woman in any position of a football team.

Two kicks and she claims she’s injured her leg.

Game over for all women, maybe there is an actual bright side to this sham of a display.

Two Words:

Annika Sorenstam

Dominant female golfer, not able to make the men's cut.

I am sorry but I would not call the WNBA more finessed than men’s basketball.

I would call all women’s contact sports that men also play, more AWKWARD and slower-moving than the men’s game. All others are generally more slower than the men’s equivalent.

There aren’t that many men overall who can run faster than a 10.49 for the 100-meter dash.

On the other hand, the best male para-olympian did break that record.

Over what distance?

That’s what it looked like to me too — 19 and 14 if you count the five yards of it bouncing and rolling to a stop. And they looked like they were seven feet off the ground, max.

"Look, it's not the length that matters. It's the technique that counts,"

Rush has his quotes mixed up.

That had to have come out of Sandra Flukes mouth!!

“I (at my peak) was faster than any woman that has ever lived.”

Are you sure?

...for some reason, I highly doubt the veracity of that statement...
