So, I don't need to comment on this one . . .

I was working up a good froth over the reaction of the naming of the nation's first female football coach.

Then I read what Petula Dvorak had to say in the Washington Post.

This has been an astounding time for massive social change in our nation's capital.

We saw our first African American president move into the White House last year; same-sex couples were finally able to legally marry in D.C. last week; and today we might see the biggest shocker of them all: A woman will become the head coach of a high school football program.

Sadly, cries of foul have already begun.

After The Post broke the story Wednesday that Natalie Randolph will take the job at Calvin Coolidge Senior High School in the District and probably be the only such female coach in the nation, a flurry of online commenters worried about the boys of Coolidge.

"This is a brutal physical sport that rips the testosterone from guys and puts it on display. There is no place here for an estrogen injection," one reader commented on the story.

I wonder if this person has ever seen childbirth up close.

"THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL A FEMALE CAN BE CONSIDERED A LEGITIMATE COACH OF FOOTBALL," another ranted.

Please go read it. It's one of those things I wish I could have written.
