The NFL is hiring Sarah Thomas as its first female official, according to a Baltimore Sun report.Being the first woman to officiate at different levels is not new for Thomas.She worked for Conference USA in 2007 and in 2009 became the first woman to officiate a bowl game.She has been in the NFL's Officiating Development program and worked a preseason game last season."I set out to do this and get involved in officiating not having any idea that there were not any females officiating football" Thomas told NFL Network. "Being a former basketball player, you saw female officiating all the time. So, no, I don't feel like a pioneer."
