b) women can throw a yellow flag on to a field
c) women can handle it if a burly player says something mean.
(Oh and we can also vote and drive our own cars, too…although some still consider the latter questionable.)
Does no one else find it weird, if not even a little appalling, that in an age when a woman can make a legitimate run for President of the free world, the notion that she’d be qualified to officiate a professional sporting event is still considered somewhat controversial?
