Duke had a female kicker that the coach cut late in fall practice and she turned around and sued the school for sex discrimination. Then Colorado had a female kicker that actually made the team but also sued the school claiming rape which was later found to be false. I don't think I would go there if I were an NFL coach

No. Maybe at kicker or punter but even that's a long shot. Guys are taught from the moment they are born not to hurt girls, and in football, people get hurt. As a player I would not want to play against a girl just because I feel I would be more hesitant to hit her as hard. I dont know though. Maybe that's just the way I was raised.

well not at the big contact positions. she might play kicker or punter. but would have to be really steller to over come the fact that men r jus built natrally stronger than women ( not sexist or anything its jus how it goes). even in the legs. a male nfl kicker is more likely to be picked up by a team than a female. if there was a female player it would be more for publicity.

Well they have football leagues across the nation that are for women. I dont see them playing in the NFL for a long long long time. If there ever is it will have to be a kicker, but even at that NFL teams wouldnt want her unless she was absolutely amazing because the possibility of a fake kick gets dropped to zero.

Ever is a long time. 40 years ago no one would have thought a black president was possible, but now Obama is a top candidate.
I think it's possible, but it wouldn't be a contact position. Maybe a kicker or punter. I think it's a BIG TIME long shot. Not within the next 50 years, unless it's a publicity stunt.

It's not likely that will ever happen. Women just aren't big enough, strong enough or tough enough to play professional football with men. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a female ref in the NFL though.

No. Women don't have the strength for it. They would get killed. Look at Nick Mangold's younger sister. She is the best highschool female offensive linemen in the country. She weighs 300 lbs but her max bench is only 250 lbs. That is a pretty bad bench for a football player.

No way. The only position possible would be kicker and a woman's leg would be still way too weak to kick the distances needed.

Without sounding too chauvinist I think not. Actually there already is Women in the NFL and I LOVE to watch them play where they are too! THE CHEERLEADERS!!!

Maybe as a place kicker. But even that is highly doubtful because of the basic fact that men are naturally stronger (legs included).
