I am 5'5". As a short person, I am offended that there are no short people in the NFL!!
I see white people, black people, brown people, tall people, medium height people...but NO short people!!
I am calling on the ACLU, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, the corpse of Martin Luther King, PETA, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and The Knights of Columbus to rally with me and protest outside Soldier Field in Chicago until something is done about this!!
NO SHORT PEOPLE,
NO PEACE!!
Won't you join us and help bring an end to this discrimination?

You obviously missed the Doug Flutie years. (If anybody should have complained about unjust height discrimination it was HIM!)

There are a lot of players listed in rosters as being 5'9 and doing a good job. Warrick Dunn with Atlanta, for example. In his case, I think the stats are generous, he looks about 5'6. Maybe they print them up in height and weight to scare the opponent. While I think your Q is "tongue in cheek", seriously would you take a chance at getting mashed by one of those 6'5 350 lb-ers? There's an elephant in the neighborhood named Margie who'ld be happy to sit on you. Break out the cheese to go with that whine. We're gonna have a pity party.

What about Maurice Jones- Drew? He is the second string oompah-loompah running back of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's pretty good too. I'm 6'4'' but i wish i was short.
P.S. Did you see MNF when 6'4 RB Brandon Jacobs reached down to hug Tiki Barber? LOL

Sproles, a RB from the San Diego Chargers, is 5'5" if I remember correctly.

I would think there has to be a few. They could squeeze thru the holes better than a taller person.

Your a total moron, if your 5'5" then go get hit by Urlacher a few times and see how you feel, oh and after that shut the hell up.
