NFL ranks last, WNBA first in diversity study

[BAMAPHIN 22]

The NFL ranked last in a study comparing opportunities for women and minorities in five professional sports leagues, and the WNBA was the only to earn top marks.

The NBA, Major League Baseball and the MLS all showed improvement, but women's basketball received the only A overall in the report card released Tuesday by the University of Central Florida.

The study examined the front office, support staff, playing and coaching opportunities for women and minorities in professional football, basketball, baseball and soccer, along with colleges.

Plain and simple, WOMEN DO NOT BELONG IN THE NFL!!!!!! If they want to argue, then let a man play a woman's sport and see what they think.

I hope this was a privately funded venture. What a stupid study.

I mean, who would have thought that a WOMEN'S BASKETBALL league would be filled with women and minorities?? That's ground-breaking journalism right there. Oh, and I can't believe the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE is void of women. This is an outrage!!

My God, somebody get this Sherlock Holmes to Baghdad ASAP. We need all the help we can get hunting down these terrorists.

Did they get their detective badge for Trick or Treat??

No way the WNBA has more women involved than the NFL! That's complete garbage, especially considering our 32 teams of cheerleaders are way hotter than WNBA players.
