When do you expect to see women in the NFL?

I don't see that happening any time soon. Very few little girls aspire to play in the NFL. The pool from which the NFL would select from in the case of women would be very small. Nevertheless, there is no physical reason why a woman could not be a place kicker or field goal specialist.

In any case, if football was a worthy athletic event and women were playing the game in the same numbers on the sandlot, in high school, and colleges, you can not rule out the possibilities.

Just as there are women out there now that can throw a football farther than you, does not mean that you could rule out the possiblity that some woman can throw the football farther and with more behind it than Chad Pennington <ggggg>.

The day after I see genitally intact male sopranos.

BTW, how fast can you run the marathon? And what was your math score on the SAT?

Edit: I see there is one male soprano for the first time in over a century, no word on his intactness but it's probably irrelevant to my point. Exceptional men don't face the kind of barriers that exceptional women face, never have.

He's no Callas, though.
