Stupid stupid stupid idea. Women don't belong on a football field with a game in progress and they never will. Yes I know this isn't anything new. It's just idiotic.

Just a PR stunt tbh. Domestic violence has plagued the NFL the past year....

Yeah, I know.

It is funny, women want to be treated like men until....

it's 3am a bump in the night...

wife....psst psst did you hear that?

Looks like a smoker with those urine-stained chiclets

same thing i thought, tbh.

Pretty? She looks like the rich man's Eleanor Roosevelt.

[tp2021]

I don't think it will be quite what she had in mind the first time a football team runs through her on a Sunday afternoon.

[Infinite_limit]

Haha come on. That's a 7.5/10 forty year old woman

:lol trying really hard to make this into a big deal. She will go unnoticed on Sundays like most officials do outside the main one announcing the calls

She looks like an older version of Sara Walsh. Not an insult by any means.

Do you have any idea at all about the lingo in a football game?

[spurraider21]

the only official that ever goes noticed by fans is the head official who announces the calls. the rest are just background

there are female refs in the NBA and i dont think anybody claims they ruin the product. and i could just as easily say "do you know the lingo that goes on in a basketball game?"

Where did I say anything about the fans? I'm talking about the players.

Dude, ya really do need to slow down with,...I just gotta hassle Avante....you always come off looking ridiculious, ok? I;m talking about how the players will now have to watch..

you fucking pussy

and other similiar stuff.

He addressed your point about the players. And for the rest of your post:


Diagnosis, imo:


"Delusional disorder refers to a condition associated with one or more nonbizarre delusions of thinking—such as expressing beliefs that occur in real life such as being poisoned, being stalked, being loved or deceived, or having an illness, provided no other symptoms of schizophrenia are exhibited.

Delusions may seem believable at face value, and patients may appear normal as long as an outsider does not touch upon their delusional themes. Mood episodes are relatively brief compared with the total duration of the delusional periods. Also, these delusions are not due to a medical condition or substance abuse.

Themes of delusions may fall into the following types:

Grandiose type (patient believes that he has some great but unrecognized talent or insight, a special identity, knowledge, power, self-worth, or special relationship with someone famous......

persecutory type (patient believes he is being cheated, spied on, drugged, followed, slandered, or somehow mistreated);*...."

i argue with anybody who says stupid shit. its not my fault that you tend to fall under that category more often than most

[Avante]

i argue with anybody who says stupid shit. its not my fault that you tend to fall under that category more often than most

So tell me slick why has it taken so damn long to do this, well? Now think ya dumb fuck what happens in a pile up for a fumble recovery, what does our little lady weigh? Now think idiot what if she gets ran over bt a 240 pound back? Like we see every once in awhile. well?

I'll try again...

How about a real honey out there, a rel looker? Do you honestly think it won't be..."check out that ass"...well?

You never played the game did ya amigo?

[spurraider21]

yeah i'm sure the out of shape 60 year old refs are down there rasslin with the 250 pound linebackers at the bottom of a fumble pile

[Avante]

yeah i'm sure the out of shape 60 year old refs are down there rasslin with the 250 pound linebackers at the bottom of a fumble pile

That has gotta been the dumbest thing you've ever said. Dude, you ever see an out of shape NFL ref? Don't you know anything? AND...fuck yes we see them down there seperating players.

Dude, wow~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

61 years old

[Avante]

Who here really thinks we won't hear about our full time FEMALE ref during a game?

Remember how it was 2014 and we are all way way past this silly gay thing, how we have evolved. What did Michael Sam show us?

Think about it....

A male ref gets hurt, that's not news, it's simply shit happens. Who here is dumb enought to think of she got hurt we don't hear about her being a woman, well?

Would Ronda Rousey make a good soldier, hell yes! But do we really need a possible distraction which an attractive woman is? Will men be checking out her ass, absolutely, do we really need this in an army? On a football field?

I'm 275 pounds, how is a 130 pound female going to carry/drag me to safety if I'm hurt?

How long before a real stunner becomes a ref? She won't be a distraction?

[spurraider21]

hochuli is among the outliers along with the black ref who recently retired

[Avante]

hochuli is among the outliers along with the black ref who recently retired

Do you honestly believe the NFL doesn't make it real clear that their refs must be in shape? Come on man.

[Trill Clinton]

no fake outrage from me. i wish her luck.

[Avante]

What about a known gay ref?

[spurraider21]

Grow out of the 60's you cooky old man. she has officiated plenty of college football and even some NFL games already

do you think these guys are in any better shape than she is?

Dude, want me to take ya to school talking 2015 NCAA football and the NFL? Fuck the 60's.

Those two have are in shape. Just not muscular.

And we all know about her experience, ok? Having a female on a football field during a pro football game is stupid.

Dude, you and the wife have a flat tire, now tell me slick who will change that tire?

[spurraider21]

Dude, want me to take ya to school talking 2015 NCAA football and the NFL? Fuck the 60's.
your mentality on this issue is outdated. just the fact that you are outraged says you are more 60's than 2010's


Those two have are in shape. Just not muscular.
and the same could be said about her. and she doesn't have the pot gut either


And we all know about her experience, ok? Having a female on a football field during a pro football game is stupid.
if she has experience and there haven't been any issues, i don't see how the second sentence makes any sense


Dude, you and the wife have a flat tire, now tell me slick who will change that tire?
this has nothing to do with an NFL referee. if my wife was Mona Lisa Vito, i'd prefer that she change the tire

I can do it all little man, 50;s up to 2015.

It's just a matter of time until...



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD3oyd9u5mo


If seriously hurt lets see how that goes. Dude, what does she weigh?


We see this how many times every season? A 140 pound female if that out there, nay!



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9tKFtQ5TZU

One will have to get hurt before they come to their senses. Somethings just aren't for women, this is one of them.

No wife of mine will be on a football field with some of the biggest baddest dudes in the world.

[spurraider21]

^:lmao yeah those refs look SO in shape

[Avante]

^:lmao yeah those refs look SO in shape

As you totally ignore the videos showing refs getting ran over. So you'd want you mom/wife/sister out there? A football field is no place for a woman, simply common sense. Please don't tell me about female football, you know what I mean.

[spurraider21]

i didnt ignore the videos. in fact, i commented on their contents.

no, i woudn't want my sister out there, i also wouldn't want my father. he's out of shape and would probably get hurt

[Avante]

What about nothing but women refs? Well?

[Silver&Black]

no fake outrage from me. i wish her luck.

Honestly, I also wish her the best. Up until she misses a holding call for my team....then I'll hate her like I do all the other refs.

[spurraider21]

What about nothing but women refs? Well?
Whoever is going to make the right calls. Like I said in the beginning, you're just trying to make a really big deal out of something that just isn't one.

Unless the broadcast specifically focuses on her, there's a very strong chance she will go very unnoticed throughout a game she is officiating, in the same manner that you don't notice any officials besides the lead referree

I don't think you are really getting this.

Too many officials get run over/knocked down in NFL games to put a 140 pound female out there. And I would bet there will be talk about "her".

It just makes no sense. The coachs are all men. 99.99% of the refs are male, all the players are male. We need a woman....because?

because through the officiating program and testing, the league thinks she's going to be a better ref than the other applicants. she's probably in better athletic shape than many of today's fat old nfl refs anyway. heck, you even posted videos basically showing how horribly unathletic some officials are. i think she'll be just fine. she's called NFL games before and college football games, and her size/frame hasn't been an issue

I have never seen a fat NFL ref. Who is this? Dude, how many players have some belly?

Well when she gets hurt, then maybe you'll finally figure it out.

[Aztecfan03]

I have never seen a fat NFL ref.

This thing about you not thinking you are fat is starting to make sense now. You are in denial and can't recognize fat people.

[Avante]

This thing about you not thinking you are fat is starting to make sense now. You are in denial and can't recognize fat people.

I once showed some pictures of my den over at The Club. There were my posters of sprint stars which I was, there were all my football trophies which I played for 20 years. Played in three HS alumni games. There were my weights. Now what fat fuck is a sprint fan, weight lifter?

Dude, you act like a fucking idiot ya know that? Not a brain in your fucking head.

Getting back to the topic....

The NFL is freaking out over saftey right now, right? So they stick a little female out there. Now think ya dumb fuck, ok?

[Avante]

I can see most of you really don't get this at all. It's the equal opportunity thing with you. Which has always been bullshit. Some things are simply male and female. A male Dallas Cowboy cheerleader? How about a fat female out there?

The minute this girl gets ran over and hurt watch what will happen now. It will be.....what on earth were you people thinking? Anyone who can't see that isn't thinking. You do not put women on an NFL field during a game, it's simply common sense.

Who out there would want their wife/mom/sister out there, well? What happens when she gets old? A grandma refing an NFL game? When they tell her shes too old, isn't that illegal? What happens when she gets pregnant? What if it's....that time of the month? Some women get pretty cranky those few days.

The whole thing is fucking stupid and it's obvious.

female ref....holding number 54
number 54...he was holding me, what are you blind?
female ref....don't argue with me, ok?
number 54...let me guess, that time of the month, right?

[NFO]

If Avante thinks it is common sense, then whoever should just to the opposite, which is what the NFL is doing.

I'm sure she and the NFL are well aware of the risks associated with a female ref. Some of those same risks exist with male refs. If she is making the correct calls a high % of the time the game will just continue to go on.

Saying she could get hurt or insulted by a player is thinking for the simple minded. Avante probably complained about Jackie Robinson playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers by saying they'll call him n***** or even rough him up in the clubhouse and he'll get hurt. Sometimes a trail needs to be blazed. Jackie Robinson seemed to handle the situation at hand pretty well. Maybe the female ref will prove to be a good ref at the NFL level, maybe not as time will tell.

[Avante]

Is it really fair that only men get to watch tits and ass at these NFL games? Why not give the women some sexy male cheerleaders? Knock down those barriiers, open up new doors, it's only fair.

football has a predominantly male audience. this has nothing to do with an official who will go unnoticed on sundays

[Avante]

Yep, nothing sexier than a football helmet and pads. Dude...ha~~~~

[Avante]

You never seem to get it.

Some barriers are not meant to be broken. Will the MMA ever allow a woman to fight a man, of course not. HS boys are superior to "world class" women in track. There are simply things women have no business around. An NFL football game is one of them.

[DJR210]

Haha come on. That's a 7.5/10 forty year old woman
http://media.gulflive.com/mississippi-press-sports/photo/sarah-thomas-769b20613fab4db0.jpg

What's up with her Terrell Suggs neck?

I wonder which player will be the first to insinuate that she blew a call due to her gender :lol

[Blake]

Avante reminds me of low IQ Fred Flintstone with the 1960s MadMen chauvinistic mentality.

Blake reminds me of a little kid on his parents computer all excited that he can bug the grown ups while safely hidden away.

[Avante]

I guarantee if something happens to our female ref, it will be looked at totally different than if it had been a similiar situation with a male ref. For a league all worried about safety this makes no sense of any kind.

Come on people cool the stupidity, ok?

[spurraider21]

what happens to refs never matter. so they fall in a pile. she's in better shape than about 50% of these old NFL refs with pot-guts

i really don't get why you're trying to make this a big deal when it really isn't. she will go unnoticed on sundays

[NFO]

There are simply things women have no business around. An NFL football game is one of them.

If that is the case then who is going to be bringing me cold beers on Sundays?

When anything is done differently in the NFL we are going to hear about it. Are you naive enought to think this is different?

Let's get real here, ok? What if she were a real honey, had that nice big ass/tits, well? Do you really think this isn't a distraction? Do really think those cats on the bench aren't..."check out that ass".....hell yes they are.

What if she does get ran over? She weighs what...140ish?

Give me one good reason to play this. Yep, there isn't one. I do think the league needs to get younger refs, just male ones.

Would they hire an old lady? And what happens when she does get old? A granny reffing NFL games? Can they let her go at 55 while keeping the same age males? What kid wants his mom reffing NFL games?

History will be made when an NFL game is reffed by a Tampoon wearing referee.

this is why they have a fitness evaluation, which she passed. again, she has called NFL games before, and college games. clearly its not an issue

[Avante]

So why are we being told about her at all? Why is she news?

[spurraider21]

So why are we being told about her at all? Why is she news?
because she's the first full time female official.

just like how it was news when Tom Flores was the first ever hispanic head coach. i'm sure there were many bigots saying "the nfl aint no place for stupid beaners to be coaching"

[Avante]

because she's the first full time female official.

just like how it was news when Tom Flores was the first ever hispanic head coach. i'm sure there were many bigots saying "the nfl aint no place for stupid beaners to be coaching"

Why do we need to know about female officials at all if it's a non issue? And no nothing was made about Flores being hispanic. There was a big deal made out of Doug Williams being the first black QB to win a SB.

So when she gets pregnant she will be the first NFL ref in history to bare a child. An NFL ref on maturnity leave, ha~

There just isn't any logical reasoning behind this, none!

An NFL ref dating a player, hmmm?

they make a story to try to stir up ratings... and they know simple minded people will bite and talk about it ad nauseam

[Avante]

they make a story to try to stir up ratings... and they know simple minded people will bite and talk about it ad nauseam

I think it's more about the simple minded people will ignore all the reasons it makes no sense. Too simple to take into consideration her periods, her size, the distraction the only woman out there will have, pregnancy.

[spurraider21]

I think it's more about the simple minded people will ignore all the reasons it makes no sense. Too simple to take into consideration her periods, her size, the distraction the only women out there will have, pregnancy.
i'm sure she wouldn't be on the field if she was pregnant. you are raising points that have nothing to do with anything. you mention her size, yet we've been over the fact that they have a fitness evaluation, and that she has already called NFL games and NCAA games without issue. she'll be fine.

You do know women do get pregnant and not know it for a time, right? Now what if during that time she gets ran over? You do know about a womans moods during that time of month, right?

So give me one good reason to have a female out there? There isn't one.

[spurraider21]

You do know women do get pregnant and not know it for a time, right? Now what if during that time she gets ran over? You do know about a womans moods during that time of month, right?
you are basically saying that no woman should ever be an athlete. you are retarded.


So give me one good reason to have a female out there? There isn't one.
because she's good at her job, and according to the NFL, better than any other candidate at this time. i think that's a very good reason

[Clipper Nation]

So why are we being told about her at all? Why is she news?

Because you're a faggot.

[Avante]

you are basically saying that no woman should ever be an athlete. you are retarded.


because she's good at her job, and according to the NFL, better than any other candidate at this time. i think that's a very good reason

Who is talking about being an athlete? I'm talking about a woman being put in a dangerous situation for no reason of any kind.

Retarded is when you totally ignore common sense which you are doing.

[Avante]

Because you're a faggot.

How many years can you be 13?

[spurraider21]

Who is talking about being an athlete? I'm talking about a woman being put in a dangerous situation for no reason of any kind.

Retarded is when you totally ignore common sense which you are doing.
what if a female in another sport, like figure skating... is pregnant and doesn't know about it? same situation as the one you posed for an NFL ref, but in another sport. by your logic, no women should be figure skaters because it could be dangerous during the early stages of pregnancy

[Clipper Nation]

How many years can you be 13?

How many years can you be a faggot? Oh yeah, all of them.

[Avante]

what if a female in another sport, like figure skating... is pregnant and doesn't know about it? same situation as the one you posed for an NFL ref, but in another sport. by your logic, no women should be figure skaters because it could be dangerous during the early stages of pregnancy

I'll go slow....

There are no other options when a female competes in a female sport. Are you saying the NFL has no other options? We need a woman out there....because?

Watch what happens if this girl gets hurt. Go ahead tell me it will be no different than any of the other refs. Even a dummy like you knows that won't be the case.

[Avante]

How many years can you be a faggot? Oh yeah, all of them.

Don't you ever get tired of playing the total idiot role? How old are you son?

do i need to tell you about the fitness test again? and do you really think this guy is an any better shape? he looks like he'd get hurt rolling out of bed

So at a time when the NFL is doing all they can to make the game as safe as possible it's time to bring in the weaker sex, and you really think that makes sense?

So if she gets hurt are you telling me the fact she's a small female won't be an issue, right?

I saw this more than once in my football career.....

This is why I'm dead set against women on a football field. And anyone with any common sense would feel the same way. Now imagine that big guy being a little female. And thast looked like a HS game, imagine if those were NFL players.

How about we cool the silly internet shit and talk like intelligent people ok? You don't put 140 pound women in danger if you don't have to. You honestly don't understand that?

[spurraider21]

apparently not. if you're at a point where either ur crazy... or everybody else is crazy... you might want to think ur the odd one

[Avante]

Dude, I've ran over refs myself, I've been in games where refs were carted off the field. And that was just HS ball.

Ok man it's real obvious you don't understand this at all. Damn you're dense.

When she gets hurt watch what happens.

NFL..ok, so how do we make the game safer, these lawsuits are adding up.
owner...Thursday night game, when the players are still getting over Sunday.
NFL..great idea! Any others?
another owner....female refs, we need some feminity out there.
NFL..great idea!!!!!!!

[spurraider21]

ok. and when she goes unnoticed every sunday this thread will be hilarious

[Avante]

Little guy, I don't want to see this girl laid out on a football field, ok? Maybe you don't care but I do, alright? And to tell me that can't happen would be bullshit. And if that does happen trust me the fact the NFL was cool with having a girl out there won't work, you do know this, right?

Do you have insurance, why? Yep, something could happen.

[Silver&Black]

Damn...you didn't have to take a shot at OP like that.

This is a woman talking about that time of month...


“I begin feeling like everything in my life is wrong and that I'm leading the wrong life,” says Sheets, a marketing director. “Little things like making decisions about groceries to buy or getting dressed in the morning become monumental, and I agonize over them.” Sheets says she also becomes much more sensitive and cries more easily.

Come on people does the NFL really need this? I'm not trying to be cute or funny, I had a mother, I have three sisters and a wife. I know this is very very real. And so do you guys. Does the NFL really need a ref out there who could be at the wrong time trying to ref NFL games?

Did anyone here ever play the game? If ya did then you know we are going to have....

that fucking bitch
I bet shes on the rag
I'd do her

....why put players in that situation? There is no need for female refs.

Why bring this to the NFL




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMXSWaNkwfo

Why is this news....SEXISM!!!!!!!! See where it says....female referee?


We have little pricks here who go around calling grown men faggots, what do you think badass NFL players will do with a girl out there?

[spurraider21]

A female judge might have a case during that time of the month. So should we also ban women from being judges?

[Avante]

Like talking to a little kid, wow!

Dude, does the NFL really need this? They gain what from this? There is no logical reasoning behind it at all.

So I turn on The Herd this moring around 7:30, what is being talked about....yep! Al Michaels no less.

It's a distraction that simply isn't needed. If you are so dense you can't see this I can't help ya.

I noticed ya totally ignore the NBA deal. Do you really think we can't see that in the NFL...also?

You're the one ignoring that :lol

Ask Chris Paul if it's working just fine.

There is the potential here for bodily harm for all these officials, that's understood. So you intentionally put a woman in that situation for no reason of any kind? That makes sense to you, right?

There are women sprinters who can out run some NFL wide receivers, what if they could also catch a football...well?

[spurraider21]

a) dont move the goal post from officiating to playing wide receiver

B) Chris Paul is one player and not representative of the entire nba
C) he said the ref made a poor judgment call and said maybe isn't fit to be an NBA ref
D) he never said it was a gender issue, and never said the NBA isn't a place for woman refs

[Silver&Black]

Avante. I'm pretty sure she will be a side/line judge. She won't be in the middle of the field....

But even with saying that....side judges have gotten blown up before. But they're not putting her in there with the linebackers....so the potential for injury is much, much less.

[spurraider21]

i still think some of the old male refs are more likely to get hurt than she is

[Avante]

i still think some of the old male refs are more likely to get hurt than she is

You're really not getting this at all, sheesh~~~~~~~~~~

We don't want to see a 140 pound woman getting clobbered on a football field, ok guy?

If you/me/any man is in a bar and a couple dudes get into, oh well. But if it's a guy pushing a woman around, what happens guy? Come on man stop acting stupid ok?

Dude, you really do need to learn about life, you appear...DUH!!!! You don't put women in harms way if there are other options, simply common sense. This is why you don't get it.

First Female NFL Official Sarah Thomas Drew the Line at No Makeup on the Field



Oh hell no it makes no difference, hahaha!!!!!!!!!!

One of these girls gets seriously hurt out there do you really think the NFL won't be questioned about why they allowed this? Don't get out much do ya slugger?

When I was 12 I was big as the 16 year olds and just as strong and fast. So when I got hurt in a street game (ran into a car) it was...."what is a 12 year old doing out there". I know...zooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!

[spurraider21]

Here's a guy who gets it.

Apr 8, 2015 10:52 AM

What happens when she takes her first hit and gets hurt? People need to stop being Politically Correct and stop the nonsense. Yes.. it’s great women are included in the sport as refs. But does it make sense? Is she more in danger of getting hurt that an old guy? I’ll call it a wash. But she is “NO WHERE” Near physically comparable to the men playing in the NFL. At least when a male refs gets run over, hit, it’s like shake it off. Can you imagine what the media is going to do the first time she is in the wrong place at the wrong time? You don’t think the payers on the field aren’t going to notice where she is and be extra careful? And if they aren’t? How will the media treat that first player that trucks her.


Dude, there are tons of that sort of thing out there, lots of us who get it. But....not at all surprised you don't, you never do.

1920's NFL has nothing to do with the conversation, but kudos for you trying to change the topic.

The difference is, the whole god thing is completely spiritual. It's a debate between faith/belief vs evidence. The question of a female ref has nothing to do with belief or faith. You also have to account for changes in time. A few hundred years ago, EVERYBODY in western civilization believed in a god. now, atheism is on the rise. 100 years ago, women couldn't vote. times change, people adapt. its a progression

Right there is why it's so hard to talk to you, you always get everything wrong. Dude, you totally missed my point about 1920 NFL, like you always do. You need things...IN BIG LETTERS..or it flies right over you.

Didn't we hear....it's 2015 now, only knuckle draggers care about homosexuality.....well what did we see with Michael Sam. I could take you places where guys are saying the same things I am about females in danger.

This isn't about progress at at all it's about a dumb decision made by guys thinking Thursday night games are a good idea.

When this girl gers hurt, maybe then you'll see what those who get this were talking about, watch what happens.

So much you don't understsand it's comical.

I concur.

My objection to this though, has nothing to do with the gender of the official. But rather the common sense of it. Man, woman, whichever...somebody that small could literally killed or paralyzed out there.

Of course, if the NFL set a size stipulation and said only women at least 5'7" and 165 lbs. can officiate, for example...then N.O.W. would file a lawsuit quicker than we can say Gloria Allred.

Foolish move by the NFL all around.

[Avante]

I pity this girls parents and family, I can only imagine how I'd feel if Judy or one of my sisters was out there surrounded by monsters not too concerned with their well being.

This....good to see equal opportunity blah blah...ok then why not a male Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader, well? This is no different. We have male cheerleaders. How about a female head coach?

[Clipper Nation]

Ask Chris Paul if it's working just fine.

His complaint had to do with a blown call, not because the ref was a woman. He also got Michelle Roberts her job as the first woman to ever be in charge of a pro sports players' union.

Once again, you fail.

You mean a site where we don't see punk ass kids like you going around..."you're a faggot"..."he's a faggot".."they are faggots".

Dude, I can go anywhere that talks football and bring back tons of..."women refs in the NFL is a stupid idea"...want me to prove it?

Damn you're dumb.

[Avante]

Let me say this....

There is a good chance after the first couple of games this....women ref out there.....which will probably be mentioned will die out and she just fades like all the other refs, nobody caring at all.

But.....there is always the potential for any ref to get hurt in a game. We see it every single season and will see it in 2015. If this 145 pound lady gets squashed on a football field it will not be handled like it would if one of the men got hurt. The question of just why her involvement was allowed will be an issue.

I don't wanna see this lady get hurt, I know a lot of you are so immature you don't get that, to you little punks it's...fuck that....which is so childish. Then it's...."how about the MMA"...haha!!!!!! How many lady fighters run a 4.4 and how many weigh over 300 pounds. And they don't get hit from behind when not expecting it.

I'm not alone on this. I;m just one of many who have sisters/wife who wouldn't want them out there, especially since it makes no sense at all.


It was suppose to be this is 2015 we are way past this gay (except redneck homophopics) thing now, well Michael Sam showed us that no we aren't. Well this is no different, if "she" gets hurt watch what happens, so why take that risk?

I'll go slow, you can do this.

How much do you think she weighs? What would happen if she did get ran over, well? NEWSLASH....women are more fragile than men.

Stupid the odds are she will never get hurt, just like any other ref, ok sluggo, but.....what if she did? Would you want your mom out there, how about your wife? It's a stupid idea, you being too dumb to see that.

Dude, just how dumb are you?

Why not have a female player, well?

Trust me, if a male ref gets hurt, oh well. If she gets hurt you better believe it will be....what was a woman doing out there to begin with.....and we all know it. If you think it would be no different you're dumber than I think, if that's possible.

Dude, she could get seriously hurt out there, why act like you don't get this?

You know as well as I do if she were to get seriously hurt the fact she's a woman would be a very big deal. And we wouldn't see another female ref, you do know this, right?

And stop acting as if you know what the players are thinking, ok? Of course they will say the right things, ya reckon?

Stupid, here we are talking about a ref, why, yep......FEMALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
