Women's professional football star on gender equality in the sport
Manage episode 320863691 series 2883433
Lois Cook grew up playing football with her older brother and is now a wide receiver for the D.C. Divas, a women's professional football team. In order for Cook and her fellow players to compete in the league, they must pay fees for practice and equipment, and if they have a travel game, they must provide their own transportation and lodging. In fighting for some of the recognition that NFL players receive, Cook has gained the attention of millions of viewers through social media. She created the Lois Cook Foundation to support girls aspiring to play the sport, and during Super Bowl LVI, Cook and four other women were featured in ads and on billboards surrounding SoFi Stadium.
