Sunday, the Super Bowl will offer up history when the Kansas City Chiefs play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa.
That alone is historic. It's the first time a team has played a Super Bowl in its home stadium.
Another groundbreaking moment happens when Sarah Thomas takes the field in her black and white striped jersey. She'll be the first female official to work the NFL's biggest game.
It's history, but also part of a trend with more women officiating at the top levels of men's sports.

If she does her job well, she will be unnoticed -- as all good zebras should be

I sincerely hope she does. Not because I know her or care about her career. But if she is a cause of controversy, way too many idiots will use her as a punching bag, and even more will say she is the reason why women CAN'T do the job.
