Should a woman be a referee in the NFL?http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Female-referee-Catherine-Conti-NFL-goal-as-close-as-ever-090511?gt1=39002 It is 2011. Is there a reason that a woman should not be a referee. NO! Gender should not make a difference. They say football is a MANs game, but refereeing is not football. Simply know the rules, know what to do in every situation and have good eye sight. Can a woman do that? Absolutely! So what's the problem? Give everyone a chance!
