The possibility of young girls growing up to play professional tackle football is the vision Odessa Jenkins had in mind when she founded the Women's National Football Conference (WNFC). "The perfect picture for me is that investors, fans, and brands all see women playing tackle football as so valuable that they're willing to take all the risk that they are with men and boys' football," Jenkins said.
Main Idea: Odessa Jenkins is working to make women’s tackle football more visible and valued so more girls can see a future in the sport.
Key Points:
No clear negative impact identified.
Adidas and Dove backing women’s tackle football could bring more jobs, media attention, and consumer choice, while giving girls and communities a clearer path into sports.
