NFL’s first openly gay, female coach headed to Super Bowl

Date: Jan 22 2020

Once rejected from a volunteer coaching position because of her “lifestyle,” Katie Sowers will make NFL history as the first openly gay and female assistant coach headed to the Super Bowl.

Athletes and fans are excited for Sowers’ historic role at Super Bowl LIV and have remarked that her position is especially poignant given there have only been 13 out gay and bi players in the NFL’s 100-year history, according to OutSports.
