Female Football Referee

I have never seen a female referee for a football game probably because there are no female NFL referee's on TV. Here is a woman who goes beyond that stereotype with the goal in mind to one day be a side line ref for the NFL.

    Not only is it a stereotype that women can not be be football referees, it is also an accepted social norm to only respect and expect a male football ref. So this women is breaking the social norm of a specific gender role in society.

    This is a great example. It shows how hard it can be to succeed when you challenge an existing norm. I hope she becomes an NFL ref :) We'll have to watch out for her in the coming years!
