It’s either a high school football player’s wet dream come true, or his worst nightmare. The Coolidge High School varsity football team in Washington, D.C. is about to take its orders from a woman. Natalie Randolph was hired as the first female high school football coach in history.
Allow me to be the among the first to say, “Well it’s about damn time!”
Randolph is a former player for the D.C. Diva’s pro football team and she’s also one of the school’s science teachers. Despite winning a championship with her team in 2006, there are likely a few quiet skeptics (see: douchebags) out there who don’t think she’s fit for the job because she lacks the proper (ahem) “equipment.” But who cares about them? Besides, The Women’s Sports Foundation has her back. They’ve already showered Randolph with praise for the historic achievement.
Hopefully she’ll be given a chance to actually do her job…as in not getting canned if the team doesn’t win a state championship after the first year. Either way, these chicks are proud of you, Natalie! Now we can only wonder if and when the NFL will ever decide to leap out of the Middle Ages…
