Could a woman play in the NFL?

No - not legitamately - but as a preseason pulicity ploy - I could see it happening.

When it comes to that level of speed/size/strength/toughness - women are inferior.

Does that make me a sexist or can we look at all the rosters in the history of the NFL and draw the obvious conclusions?

I suppose what I was really wondering with this thread is why a woman has not played in the NFL. Is it because of cultural and/or societal norms, or because of the physical make-up required to play?

I have to believe somewhere out there, there are women who physically could compete. And not just in the kicker role.

My wife went to law school with a woman who played offensive line for the Indiana Speed. She was freaking huge. At least 6" 3" maybe taller and about 270.

I wouldn't have messed with her.
