Women’s Professional Football September 25, 2007

So everyone is going on and on about women wanting to play men in football and how a man can always beat a woman..well duh!!! These men are bred to play football.  Boys are raised to play football.  They have pee-wee football to start athletic development specific to football. 

There are a few women’s leauges for football but women can not join until they are out of high school.  They miss out on 18 years of practice and training.  But these women can hit!!!

 I am a huge fan of the Dallas Diamonds.  www.dallasdiamondsfootball.com  They are the WPFL team for Dallas.  The play teams from all over the United States to qualify for playoffs and ultimately the Superbowl.  My best friend used to play and now coaches for the Dallas Diamonds.  These women play for the love of the game, not for the money.  They actually have to raise money/sponsorship in order to play.  And must hold full time jobs, outside of football, in order to survive.  There are no press conferences, no million dollar contracts, no fame…just football. 

I admire these girls because they put their heart and soul into football.  They take time away from their families to practice and play a sport that they are passionate about.  Many of them suffer from chronic injuries resulting from the hard hitting…the same injuries that the NFL boys suffer from.  Many of them end up having knee surgery or rotator cuff surgery.  They suffer from concussions and head injuries. 

So when someone says girls can’t play football, especially a man, I challenge them to go up against one of these girls!  Then we’ll see who is laughing!!  :)
