Interesting, AD.  Do you have a link for the story?

By the National Football League do you mean American football or something else?  If so that is a little surprising as there are not many Jewish players, and they traditionally play on Sundays (the Christian day of rest) and on Christmas day (I think) and New Years Day (which is Catholic holy day).  But then maybe the owners of the teams are Jewish or the media broadcasters . . . I became a semi-fan when living in the US.

I'm just glad this lady was able to participate.  It shows that sometimes there is justice in the sporting world.  :-)
