Quote:Says they have to pass a physical exam. I'd imagine that would include some type of physical capability metrics.

 

 

Quote:That's actually a valid question.  From my prospective working in/around the military, standards are different.  Males and females could have the same job and rank, but yet the physical standard that the male must maintain is higher than that of the female.

 

In my opinion, there should be a set standard that relates to the job period.  If someone wants to perform that particular job, then he/she must meet or exceed the standard.

 

It's not like this is a woman who is coming in, fresh out of her living room where she watched "a lot of football". She's been a referee since 1999. I really don't think the "massive" transition from running up and down an NCAA field to running up and down an NFL field is going to be all that traumatizing for her.
