Woman set to officiate NFL game for first time - ESPN

no objections per se if she EARNS the job by being good, seems like a pretty tough lady if she was doing judo since age 11. But considering Gotohell has set the bar pretty low on "good" officiating - that shouldn't be hard. So I hope it isnt just a 'diversity' hire or publicity stunt.

I havent heard much more on the officials labor negotiations. so I guess this is another slap at them. Hire a woman and that gets the nfl story out there on the front page news: 'YOU ARE REPLACEABLE' - take that refs.

Dan Koppen could learn a thing or two from her.

Amazing that this multi-billion dollar operation relies on part timers. I heard from a contact that they can't afford the Obamacare.

My only concern is that they get the calls right. I don't care what sex they are.

I heard talk that they missed a holding call which would have been a Safety during the HOF game.

If she passes all of the Ref standards to maintain her job, I see no problems. But Violet Palmer has been a bit criticized for her NBA work.

My only worry is that a woman who is not performing to her standards is kept on for obvious reasons.

Can we please leave the politics to the politics forum?

Whatever they do I hope they get this resolved quick. Both sides come across as looking bad to me.

What what? Unless I'm wrong the officials are part timers.

You think part-timer is going to just stand there and take it while you talk trash about part timers?

It is NFL politics. The officials get screwed by their part time status.
