Sarah Thomas is set to become first full-time female official

[LittleBoyBlue]

She can't be any worse than the geezers that presently hold these positions. Old? Check.Visual-Spatial ability declined due to age? Check. NFL policy regarding current referees; Sarah Thomas not withstanding.

Remove the human element.

"Resistance is futile"

 

[sacase]

Wonder how many players are going to get suspended for disagreeing with her

 

[WoodysGirl]

She's 41, a former athlete, and sales drugs..

I think she's a good fit.

It's important that she's good, and not just a token.

The female NBA referee is awful, and it's hurt the cause for other women that want to be NBA refs.

And also when Ed asks if you want to see the gun show, you say no. Just say no.

I heard in the interest of coach and player safety, she will be given off any games that fall in "that" time of the month.

First time she gets run over, it's going to be a firestorm. Book it.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Congrats, not bad on the eyes either....

If she's been reffing for 10+ years, then it won't be the first time she's gotten run over.

Not about what she can or can't deal with. More about being in the National Spot light and others making a big issue of it.

She's pretty fit alright.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I would purchase that for the articles.

Yeah, if you could get the pages apart to read them.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Maia Chaka is probably the next lady official up for consideration

I don't know how big a deal it will be. Maybe a 24 hour news cycle. I guess we'll see..

chicka chicka....wowow...wow

 

[sacase]

As long as they have similar qualifications as their male counterparts, I have no issues at all.

I... um... hmm... you know I... um... hmm...

You know what? The league needs more female referees. Like yesterday. Can fans vote for hiring more female referees? ******. Something needs to be done about this right now. This is a critical issue. What's the freaking hold up?

Say... does anyone have any more pictures of Maia Chaka? Just to satisfy my curiosity, that's all.

Yeah. Who cares though honestly? If she's good it'll be welcome change and if she's awful she'll fit right in

Yep. Exactly what I thought.
