Fox News
Sam Gordon, a football player who went viral on social media after her father put her highlights on YouTube, lost her bid to have Utah school districts create football teams for girls.
However, the judge understood that schools and coaches should do more to encourage girls to put on the pads and helmets and that there may not be enough enthusiasm to keep such a league running. Gordon, 18, argued she believed there were plenty of girls interested in playing football when she started an all-female league six years ago with her father called the Utah Girls Football League. The league is still active.More Related News
