Washington-Browns will be first NFL game with female coaches on both sidelines, female official on field

Women will be making NFL history this Sunday in Cleveland.

When the Washington Football Team and Cleveland Browns take the field in Week 3, it will mark the first regular-season game in NFL history that features female coaches on opposing sidelines and a female official on the field.

With the honors are Jennifer King, a full-year intern with Washington, Callie Brownson, the Browns' chief of staff, and NFL official Sarah Thomas.

I had a look see at her bio; she came through the ranks honestly, and is a sharp no nonsense official

3. It takes a while.

I had an uncle who ref’ed in the World Football League (remember that?). It took him years to get there.

Ill-fated United Football League (UFL) with distinction. So there's that!
