downunderbill Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hope she doesn't get badly hurt. I've seen much bigger and Stronger players not know what year it was after a hit. Nice story but I can't see it lasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) awesome story. Happy to see her excel like she has. I could see maybe a hanful of elite female athletes playing in college on smaller schools/divisions. No way a female ever makes it to the NFL in a position other than maybe kicker. NFL is about combining speed, size, and strength; three things males are genetically superior in on average. An elite male athlete (which is what is required to play in the NFL) will always be faster and stronger than an elite female athlete. The competition among elite male athletes is already so high that just a miniscule dropoff in talent is the difference between having an NFL career and watching from the couch on Sundays.

Domdab99 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 No way at her position. I can certainly see a female kicker making it one day, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JinxedBill1 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 No thanks. I'm rooting for her but I still think there should be a league for woman like the NBA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forfeited bc she was a girl and didn't want to compete against opposite gender? Or scared of losing to a girl? I have seen several high school female wrestlers beat male wrestlers. Embarassing.. yes, but atleast they had the balls not to forfeit and compete. Women should get every right to compete in any sport, especially the sports that don't have own female teams(even if odds are against them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in today's world, girls should atleast tryout and compete(if they so choose to) and if they make the team, more power to them. But hopefully they earn that opportunity and not have it given to them for their gender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even more bizzare wrestling one. It's ridiculous to give less than your best and it's disrespectful to lighten up because she is a woman. Unless she's retarded she knows her risks on the field, it's the same risk anyone takes on the field and it's part of what so many enjoy about the participation in sports; the wide open sheer madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they forfeit? Though a male should still have an advantage wrestling is a more even playing field bc they have to make weight so the size advantage is somewhat negated. Then technique can come into play. A sport like the NFL is completely different. You’ll be hard-pressed to find any female in the world that can weigh in at 230-240 and run a 4.4 40 time.

Punching Bag Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) For those who prefer non-videos (not play them at work): Safety Antoinette ‘Toni’ Harris might be the 2nd woman to ever earn a college football scholarship https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/1/18/16908018/antoinette-toni-harris-female-safety-scholarship-bethany-college Safety Antoinette 'Toni' Harris Joins Exclusive Company With College Football Scholarship https://www.si.com/college-football/2018/01/19/belthany-antoinette-harris-woman-scholarship I could see a woman being able to play safety or DB. Some of the back four players on defense are pretty short (Nickell Robey-Coleman was 5'8") but her height is too small I think (5'6"). Some of the women in WBA could get roles in NFL if they worked at in college. Quote Harris is in exclusive company. She joins other female athletes such as Katie Hnida and Becca Longo that played football at the college level. Her goal is to become the first female player in the NFL.
