Browns to Play Girls Team in 2009
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009
Football’s glass ceiling has apparently been shattered with the release of the 2009 NFL schedule. For the first time in history, an all-girls team will take the field when the Detroit Lionesses visit the Saints on September 13th in New Orleans. Some call it a sideshow publicity stunt, but the NFL recently declared that the 0-16 men’s team from 2008 was an embarrassment to the league and needed to be replaced. The Browns will take their shot at the female footballers from Motown when they travel to Detroit on November 22nd. “I think it is great that the NFL is allowing a team of female athletes to compete on this level. And there’s a chance for them to get one, maybe two, wins this season. But I pray to god one doesn’t come against us.” Mangini said from his office in Berea on Tuesday. Vegas has the Browns favored in that game by 1 ½ points.
