00:00I'm talking to a guy, he's like, do you play sports?
00:09Yeah.
00:10I play football.
00:11He's like, football?
00:14People don't like the idea of women hitting each other at a million miles an hour.
00:18As women, it's like, why wouldn't we want to play America's game?
00:21Did you know that there was a women's football league in the 1970s?
00:25No, I did not know that.
00:27Take one, Mark.
00:29This is my mom, Basha.
00:31She played full tackle football on a team called the Houston Hurricanes.
00:37As a kid, I genuinely believed that everyone's mom played football.
00:41I now know that to be untrue.
00:43The league was started by a talent agent.
00:45He thought that maybe the women would play in skirts, but the women showed up and they
00:49were like, well, he plays an ad for football, we want to play football.
00:53Football coaches are writing letters to President Ford that say, dear Mr. President, please
00:57don't destroy the sport that we know you love.
01:01There was actually a sign on the door of my high school gym.
01:05No girls allowed.
01:06Why can't we go in there?
01:07We need to be strong too.
01:08If this is the space that we're not supposed to play, when we do this, we can shift culture.
01:18You were all fighting for a common goal, and that was the right to play football.
01:22I can literally say that football saved my life.
01:27It was just like a family.
01:29I wanted to play football.
01:31There were other women who wanted to do the same thing, and together, what could we accomplish?
01:36You know, my goodness, what might we accomplish if we do this?
01:41Do not go where the path may lead.
01:43Go instead where there is no path and make a trail.
