Is the NFL sexist? Why doesn't the government do anything about it?

    Because women have better sense than to go out and get themselves bashed in the head until their brains turn to Jell-O. Studies on these pro football players show that ALL of them have lesions on their brains and all are good candidates for premature Alzheimer's disease. The goverment can't do anything about it because the most important thing in our way of life is making money.

    Perhaps for a football league made for woman this would work out. But the physical differences between men and woman out there to my mind would be a terrifying thing to see.

    I'm thinking you are just joking when you ask this.

    Lets see...we aren't into slapping each others butts, not into the fashion statement being made by the uniforms, the only pain we take on willingly is child birth and frankly we realize that the ball is just shaped funny... I mean isn't a ball suppose to be ROUND??????

    Men have approximately 60% more upper body strength than women. Women have greater lower body strength proportionate to men (bearing children).

    Source(s): A woman would have to be freakishly strong to compete with men in that league. Not that it shouldn't be done; each woman who is strong enough should be allowed to compete.

    Yes, the NFL is sexist and all that stuff but more importantly; WHY IS THIS IN THE R&S SECTION???

    Because human performance doesn't respond to political correctness.

    Same reason there are no female halfbacks, fullbacks, running backs, kickers, punters, receivers, etc. etc.

    Forgive others as I have forgiven you.
