Girls Can Do Anything A Boy Can

I've always had this dream of mine. Being the first woman in the NFL. I don't think I'll ever make it. But i like to dream about it. It be really neat... a woman in the NFL. It's hard enough for a guy to get in but a girl? Take the few girls that play high school football. Very, very few are starters. Only 1% of all high school football players ever play in college. What are the odds that there is one high school girl who is better than 99% of all of the other players? She'd have to be all-state in her position.

Now, to get to the NFL, she'd have to be in the top 1% of all college football players. So far, only one female has ever played in a college game. She was a kicker, and not one of the best. So you're going to need to find a female football player better than 99% of the college players. Again, that person has to be an all-American or at least all-conference.

That's why it's nearly impossible even for a guy to make it. BUT, I belive that one day there may be the woman with the size and athleticism and determination to play in the NFL. And you can't say that woman are not allowed to play........ Gregg Easterbrook (Tuesday Morning Quarterback) had a column where he discussed some of the complications of gender reassignment. Addressing the question of the eligibility of someone who has been reassigned to play in the NFL, he consulted the league itself. According to Greg Aiello (NFL Spokesman), "The NFL has no male-only rule. All human beings are eligible, as long as they are three years out of high school and have a usable football skill set."

Easterbrook went on to say, "Prep and college football have experienced huge controversies about whether girls and women can play. There's never going to be huge controversy in the NFL, because the decision is already made - woman are welcome,"

So, the question is not whether or not you are a woman. The question is whether or not you are good enough. =)
