How women are impacting the NFL more than ever
You can say that for the majority of the lifespan of the sport of football, it has always been seen as a “man’s game.” However, in recent years, several women have come in and put a stamp on the game and how we see it today. These women have made a difference in their unique ways, and they deserve to be highlighted and celebrated.
Here are just a few great examples.

Sandra Douglass Morgan is a North Las Vegas city attorney who also served as Commissioner of the Nevada Gaming Commission and as Chairwoman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, amongst many other things.
In 2022, she became the first Black & Asian woman ever to serve as a team president in NFL history. This came after the sudden dismissal of former team president Dan Ventrelle, following a long line of seemingly unwavering conflict within the Raiders front office.
She has wanted to bring more diversity to not only the Raiders, but the NFL as a whole. She also worked to implement an improvement of culture within the Raiders organization, which included hiring a DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) director, more community outreach efforts, etc. Morgan is someone who doesn’t want her work to be an isolated incident and opens up doors for so many more women at all levels of NFL teams.
