Wolf: Why not the NFL? I can only alllmost understand with golf because they have a specific professional league for women. Like with basketball... But there is not professional womans footbal league. So say you have this chick, that can consistantly nail 45 yard field goals.... why shouldnt she be allowed to play? That is a totally different situation than the golf one.

Heres an aside... I just did a little research..dont know what made me think of this. The total to be awarded over the 48 official PGA events is more than $240 million dollars (avg $5 million per event). The LPGA total is $45 million over 34 events(avg $1.3 million per event)......

Now theres a reason I think women who are capable of competing with the men should be allowed to...
