Touchdown! The flag football movement is here | Troy Vincent Sr.
Former NFL player and current Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the NFL, Troy Vincent Sr., describes how girls and young women with the talent and desire to play football have historically been denied access, sharing personal stories about a gifted neighborhood athlete and his own daughter whose opportunities vanished because of their gender. He highlights the rapid rise of flag football as an affordable, accessible, and inclusive sport that now serves over 20 million participants across 100 countries, with growing support in U.S. high schools and colleges and a debut in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Vincent urges listeners to actively support girls' access to flag football, resist re-centering the sport around men as it grows, and "let her take the field" so women can shape the future of football and sports.
