Will a woman ever play in the NFL?

[theshiverman]

No, A woman just couldnt take the punishment these guys take, heck even a normal Man cant take the Punishment these guys take, this is a specialized sport and this league is for Men, now im not ruling out a womens pro football league but they wont play in the NFL just like they dont play In the NBA, NHL or MLB, they simply need their own league. Im not taking anything away from women who play sports i know they are good and if you took 'Joe Six Pack' off the street and put him in the WNBA those women would make him look like an idiot on the court, But There wont be Women in the NFL it would just be too many problems to go along with it even if she was just a kicker and wasent really worried about getting hit , look at the crap that happened with the Female kicker in college, no, i dont think any NFL team would ever sign a women to their team as a player.

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread and the other I screwed up on I had no poll.

So what do you say? I say maybe in the very distant future but not anytime soon.

I really dont think it will ever happen.

Hmmmm this sounds vaguely like exactly the same things as I ALREADY SAID lol

When I played high school ball, I remember playing against a female OT. It looked like she felt she was out of place, either that or she was mad that I smoked her all game!!! (boo ya!). Sadly, I never got a sack. Stupid throwing it away....

I think that someday, girls might be able to do it, yet like previously stated, some positions just wouldn't work out due to physical limitations. Kicker would be a good position, don't face too much contact.

[tomjonesrocks]

Highly, highly unlikely--but kicker *would* be the only possible position.

No. If a woman wants to play proffessional sports it will nearly always(i'd say always) be in an alternate female league. Just look at women's college basketball, that one girl was the first woman to dunk in an NCAA game(correct me if i'm wrong). I think that's a pretty good indication right there. I know males who were dunking in Junior High, High school, College, Pro. Unless a physical specimen is created, there is no way a woman will make it into any pro sport, again unless it has a "W" prefix.

i know a chick that is a Jui Jitsu and muai-thai that would kick Most if not all your butts i dont see why a woman couldnt play football .. although its a slight possibility

UHH, sorry, but you better pinch yourself cuz you need to wake up. She better be 6ft + and at least 200lbs cuz I dont care what she knows, when my 240lbs came at her it would be all over.
In high school one of my good friends, female, was on the bubble for the olympics in judo, also 3rd degree Black Belt in another martial art. Against other women she was a freakin BAD ASS. And against SOME guys that happened to be smaller than her she was tough, but she had no chance against most average size guys. NO CHANCE.
It's called anatomy and physics.

Men have more fast twitch muscles, and a greater capacity to create more, that's called testosterone. Men have stronger tendons, ligaments, and greater bone density. End of Story.

It's one thing to be PC, but this is borderline stupid.

Before anyone even talks about a woman in the NFL, lets see one play in College. I mean REALLY play. And dont give me Katie Hnida, BS. She didnt play, she was a publicity stunt, nothing more. Ask anyone who played with her, she was horrible.
She went to New Mexico and I think she got in and kicked an extra point. Whoop de friggin dooo. I've seen 8 year old boys kick as good.

I did recently read about a story of a girl in CA who was the 3rd string QB at her High School. She got to play a game and threw 3 touchdowns. Cool story, but that's High School, and even that is extremely rare.

Don't think I'm bashing women either, I have a 15yr old daughter who has a great chance of earning a college scholarship in athletics(2sports), and my wife rocks my world

Men may be physically stronger, but the female of the species is definetly more deadly! And as any good women who knows what she's doing can tell you, "he may think he's the head of this household, that's alright, let him think it
"

I don't think a woman will ever play in the NFL.
Not even as a kicker or punter.

Look at golf as an example. Although women tend to hit the ball much shorter than men, they tend to be more accurate golfers than men. They may not have the same legpower, but I know there's a place in the NFL for any person who could accurately hit medium-range field goals. I mean, hell, New England is giving Martin Grammatica another shot - that shows how deseprate the NFL is!

I was at the bowl game when Hnida kicked and also at the game were she kicked the 2 extra points. I voted No not soon because Kicker or punter is the only position I see a women would have any chance at being in the NFL at. He leg was not that good at all. I was all for her getting a chance to kick. The block at the bowl game came after the Lobos scored first, we were playing a better team in UCLA and I think that the girl kicker was exciting but that extra point came back to hurt us, we lost 20-6 but I feel if we had hit the exp it would of given us a boost. We were so pumped about her kicking that the block seemed to mess with the momentum. Her leg like I said was just not the cailiber of an NFL kickers leg. Who knows a women could kick I just don't see how it would go over in such a male dominated sport. Most of the females I know could care less about football.

Thats why they have the WNBA, profesional sports are at such a high level that I don't see a women being able to compet.

I SURE HOPE NOT!!! Theres already enough rules in the game.

[ChrisKamanowns]

I say it could happen unless the world as become sexist again.... women place kickers, punter, cheerleaders on the bench..i dunno lol

[theshiverman]

To reply again, im wondering what woman would want to get tackled by a bunch of 300 pounders and fondled in the pileup, you know some bad things go on in that pileup, then you have a bunch of 300 pound guys getting up out of the pile with raging hard on's and that aint good, some guys wouldnt be able to keep their focus on the game and the woman player would start throwing lawsuits around for sexual harrasment and battery, it just wouldnt work, too many of those players in there are Animals.

i know you werent being funny

but "raging hard on's"

[broncos4ever]

Like one poster said, women would have to show that they can play in college consistently before they would play in the NFL.

So I would say at this time and probably at any time it is not going to happen at any position.
