I played JV and varsity football in middle school and high school and it would have meant so much for me to have had female officials on the field with me when I played. I'm so proud of all of these ladies. Thank y'all so much for continuing to push boundaries!

Absolutely fabulous!!! This is something that needed to happen. Think of how many ref crews were all male crews. There's a first time for everything. So glad I know one of those reffing that game! :) KEEP ROLLIN!!! or is it KEEP REFFIN now? :)

Mike Leslie acts too feminine to be a real man. 😂😂😂😂

So many unemployed that they are that desperate for refs.
