Women ‘Who Put The Work In’ Are Making Major Strides Getting Hired In The NFL.
There’s a very cool five part series documentary just out about powerful women in the NFL. It’s called ‘EARNIN’ IT. You can find it on the Peacock Channel. NBC aired a portion on game day.
It’s all about ‘firsts’ but thanks to some strong smart capable women who earned the right to be hired – it sure won’t be about lasts. This is a good story about the beginning of change in NFL hiring practices.
Why shouldn’t women who love the game be able to earn a living in the sport? Women like the first female NFL Referee and those two female football coaches who took teams to the Superbowl, and wait till you see the female Tom Brady throw a spiral! Did you even know there was a women’s s Pro Football League?
Now you will, thanks to Co-Executive Producers Teri Wagner Flynn and Jane Skinner Goodell.
