Will a woman ever play a professional sport?

A woman has played in the NHL, as a goalie for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

A woman could very conceivably play in the NFL as a kicker or punter.

A woman would probably not play in Major League Baseball because most women don't play baseball at any high level and high-level softball probably doesn't translate very well.

I'd say it's possible that a woman could play in the NBA or a top soccer league, but it'd be pretty rare, in my opinion. Both sports have men who are just too strong and too explosive for a woman to keep up. I'd think a really tough woman could potentially make it as a point guard.
