    Couldn't care less, they could learn the rules just as easily as the men(I think they've proven they have brains) and the officials don't know half the rules since this is a part time job that they don't focus on enough.

    Add: WTF is a ref doing wondering in to a locker room? There would be Controversy about that whether it was a male or female. Oh and women reporters ALREADY go in locker rooms so yeah being a woman wouldn't add controversy.

    I don't care. If they can do the job let them do it. Technically there's nothing stopping women from playing in the NFL if one is good enough to make it so I see no reason to keep them from being referees if they can do that. Having women refs for the sake of having them is just stupid though.

    I hate to be the stereotypical d-bag guy...But...What happens the first time it comes out that x player or coach or owner is sleeping with x referee?

    That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

    No. One will wonder into a locker room after a game, and their will be a big controversy.
