Hello...again,

To give a little more focus and specificity to my research question, I'd like to restate it. I initially explained that I was requesting input from officials in response to a debate question I must answer. I would really appreciate any response to the folowing question. Are women officials qualified to officiate in men's sport. I am very much in support of women officials in men sport but would like input from both sides of the argument if possible.
Thanks

Within the last 6 or so weeks,there was a very interesting article about this subject with some interviews with female officials in my local paper. Check the archives in "The Monterey County Herald", John Devine was the author( I am 99% on that)....hope this may help out
