Hope they're better than the male officials

I doubt one will be able to shoulder check Mason like the SEC championship, so I am fine with it.

its not 1943.


The sad thing is we were more progressive in 1943 during both the lead up to and during the WWII years. After the war ended, men got nervous about losing jobs to women, particularly pilots (female military pilots who'd flown test planes male pilots refused to touch as 'too dangerous' were scared of the competition) and our congresscritters went so far as to deny known service by women, especially military service and military support roles.

Take a look at American spy Virginia Hall. When Hitler invaded France and the Vichy government was established she went to the UK to work with SOS (a British intel and espionage agency). She was the point woman for establishing the French Underground/Resistance. And when the US established the OSS (precursor to NSA) she joined up and OSS waived her training given her experience. During the war she was on the NAZI's hit list as they knew there was woman with a limp helping with the resistance. OSS sent her back to the French Resistance and her intel was critical for the Normandy Invasion. She did it all -- mapped allied drop zones for the invasion so supplies and commandos could land, organized guerrilla resistance cells, and hooked up with a Jedburgh Team during the invasion.

She was quietly awarded MBE by the Queen in 1943 even as the Gestapo searched for her and the war raged as she organized fighter cells and later awarded the US Army's Distinguished Service Cross.

Thing is she was hardly alone in being a badass that would make most men look like pussies and the thing is back then we acknowledged badassery on the part of women. Of course, Hall had to be kept quiet due to serving US-UK military intel on the front lines but there were many others.

You make it sound like the male official do anything really during a fight. All the Refs do is get between the players and body block. If a player punches a ref they know they are screwed for life. Punching a female ref might get your butt thrown in jail too.
