Re: Female Umpires

Excellent find, azrael92, thanks! From the website...

The 1999 WPFL “No Limits” Barnstorming Tour
Working from feedback from female athletes from across the United States, the basic philosophies and logistics of establishing a national women’s pro tackle football league using NFL rules began to form. The idea was to put two teams together with top athletes and play one exhibition game in the HHH Metrodome to judge the athleticism of the players, the quality of the game and the marketability of that game to sports fans across America. Interest snowballed into the very successful “No Limits” Barnstorming Tour. The WPFL is now in history books as the first ever women's professional nation wide football league. With additional women's leagues sprouting, the WPFL remains the ONLY women's full contact football league promoted as a viable professional women's football league, and the longest operating women's professional sports league in the nation.
