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.
