Considering the increased focus of social justice and responsibility seen in the NFL over the past few years, one marginalized group has consistently struggled to break into the NFL. Since the inception of the NFL in 1920, the NFL has made little progress providing opportunities for women to thrive in positions of leadership. Despite the NFL’s recent, albeit weak, attempts to provide a more inclusive environment for women, the NFL has fostered barriers to entry, a hiring bias against women, and an overall unsuitable environment for women who have the talent and ability to work in the NFL. This is apparent through its history of poor interactions with qualified women who either attempted to, or actually managed to break into the exclusive and coveted field of professional football. As society has become more progressive, women have consistently shown that they are more than capable of exceling in the management of professional football, whether it be coaching, scouting, or front office executive work. Despite such ability, the NFL continues to be an overwhelmingly male-dominated field. This stereotypically masculine culture created by the NFL has left qualified women incapable of pursuing their dreams, as well as stopped the NFL from being perceived as an equal opportunity employer.
