There haven’t been many television series about sports focusing on a female character, and in Necessary Roughness, we have a unique one where we have Dani Santino, a divorcee who become a therapist for a professional football team. It would become a minor hit for the USA Network, though it was more about her drama than anything that occurred on the field. This wasn’t a bad show, but did it make enough of a dent to be considered a legit possibility to generate an inductee.
