April 3, 201511 yr I agree. I feel it could be very dangerous. I understand there are tiny male referees, but I'd bet she is one of the lightest referees out there. Didnt know referees had to make weight classes.
April 3, 201511 yr I'm not missing your point, I just don't find it valid. I'm not surprised that you wouldn't.
April 3, 201511 yr She is not coming in as a "white hat" she is an official, I would guess she would be one of the wing positions and she will be fine. Also ever looked at the age of some wing officials and those in the middle....old
April 3, 201511 yr Didnt know referees had to make weight classes. They do not, I just think in general women weigh less then men (and from the 1 picture I saw this woman looks thin!). I have no problem with a female referee, I just think the impact of Vince Wilfork running over a 6'2" 200 lb man may be less harmful to the ref compared to a 5'3" 150 lb woman. I also think if anyone runs over Ed Hochuli the player might get hurt.
April 3, 201511 yr Am I the only one when heard about her, I didn't think anything about it? She can't be as bad as a lot of them and if she is, it's par for the course with NFL officials so she should fit right in. To me it never mattered if there were female officials or not.
April 4, 201511 yr I'm sure she will be as bad as all her male counterparts and will make calls that we all disagree with. So should make absolutely no difference that she is a female.
