The world of football is a world that has typically been run by men. Being tough and intense is the name of the game in football after all. However, the NFL has recently made some major changes. One of the NFL's newest addition should be receiving more attention than Brady’s deflated balls. For the first time in the history of the organization, which places it origins from as early as 1869, a team has brought in a female coach.

The Arizona Cardinals have brought on-board Jen Welter. She will be coaching inside linebackers and working with them throughout preseason.

Controversy sprung through the roof as soon as talk about this was released. The question of topic was “Is a woman fit for a coaching position in the NFL?” Coach Bruce Arians quickly hushed all doubt by telling press, “The minute they can prove they can make a player better, they'll be hired.” He continued to support the newest change by saying, “I really believe she'll have a great opportunity with this internship through training camp to open some doors for her."

Welter held a position as a linebacker for 14 years, so the experience is not lacking. With a degree in sport psychology and doctorate in psychology, there is no doubt that she is qualified for the position. A woman being introduced into a “man's world” with an authoritative position is changing the sports world and making history.

Gender isn’t a matter of an advantage or disadvantage. The fact that the Cardinals are taking any opportunity to better themselves despite the trend of an all male staff is honorable and should be looked at as an example.
