If the NFL thought it had problems with the players union, a boring preseason and head injuries, it may now re-think their recent decision to ban all purses larger than the size of your hand.

A new policy at NFL stadiums this year limits the size of bags permitted for men and women to bring to the game. Purses are restricted to "small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap." A clutch the size of a hand means you can carry ID, money, one lipstick and an iPhone. Anything more has to be carried in a large clear plastic bag, like the ones you use for liquids to prove to TSA agents you are not an underwear bomber.

Do you know a single female out there who can go anywhere for more than 30 minutes with only a hand-sized clutch, or even a man these days?  Most everyone I know carries a purse larger than their hand, or a backpack.

Women fans  beware...if you show up to NFL preseason games unaware of the new policy, you'll have had to go back to their cars to stow their purses, or worse, throw it away!

I would guess that the NFL is run by men who are for the most part, unaware that a woman's purse is an extension of her life.  The league says it's about fan safety and moving lines at the entrance along, blah blah blah, but force a woman to leave that 25-pound shoulder suitcase behind, and you might as well cut off her arm while you're at it.

Two women have hit YouTube with a hilarious video that makes fun of the new policy by making fun of themselves. They equate the NFL purse ban with Roe v. Wade in "My Purse, My Choice."

Their campaign is only getting started. The two have created a #MyPurseMyChoice hashtag on Twitter. As they shout into the camera that the NFL should "Come and take it," it's clear as they lift up shoulder bags heavier than my diaper bag ever was...and believe me...my life was in that diaper bag!  They were a lot more comfortable without their purses.

Come to think of it, if you can carry a  25 lb. purse around all day, why don't women play in the NFL?
