Yesterday on the program, we talked about football and women.
Recently, the NFL, in an attempt to make the sport seem more welcoming, held its first ever Women's Summit in San Francisco.
During the meeting, they announced a new rule requiring women be considered among the candidate pool for executive positions in the league.
But what about actually getting women on the field, as players? Holly Peterson played as a wide receiver for the San Diego Surge. She addressed the summit - calling for greater equality in sports.
"You and me, we are part of a sisterhood, a sisterhood of sports, a solidarity of sorts. A mixed bag of backgrounds bonded by every backhanded compliment that made us want to be better than just fast...for a girl, than just strong...for a girl, than just good...for a girl. We have lost stars in our universe forever being compared to the sun and we have fought our way through the darkness with blood sweat and tears stripes down our faces. We even go to bed with a sweet tooth for greatness and we wake up hungry for success."
Peterson is also Athletics Director and Dean of Students at Able Charter School in Stockton. She's also a spoken word artist who performs as "HK Poet." She joined the show to discuss the realities of being a woman who plays football.
