So cynical. She & any other woman just may be worth their weight in gold.

i apologize.  it was a joke about women and the nfl, specifically about the only women they care about are ones they can make fans.

My thing is I don’t see an NFL HC risking his multi million dollar salary for the sake of social politics by putting someone he doesn’t actually think is the best person for the job on his staff. So if he wants to hire a female coach, I’m just gonna go ahead and assume he considers her the best candidate for the job and since it’s his paycheck on the line and not mine, leave it at that.

The only irony here is that the coach in question is Rivera, who few of us regard as much of an outside the box thinker.

Any coach / GM / whatever who allows social politics of any sort to influence a football decision deserves to be fired. 

But in this case, they don't need to factor any of that in.

There's nothing that prevents a woman from being a good football coach any more than there was anything that prevented a short, out of shape guy like Hank Stram or a pencil thin, homeless looking Kyle Shanahan from being a great coach.

You just gotta have a football mind, and that doesn't require being male.

You are not a person who gets satisfaction by attacking others--at least, that has not been your MO on here.  Just a bad, ill-timed joke you wish that you had not made.  Who amongst us have not done that. 

Funny, but men coach ladies sports all the time (I coached softball for a few years) and nobody cares, but we had a middle school (I was the administrator) baseball coaching position open, and I hired a woman for the job.  The parents were outraged.  By the third game, they were thanking me.  It just takes time--our society is like that.
