Gordon's lawsuit has several school districts and Utah's activities association playing defense over their refusal to offer girls’ tackle football as an intramural or varsity sport.
Sam Gordon runs the ball during a game in the Utah Girls Tackle Football League. By Jacob Bogage Jacob Bogage National sports writer and blogger Email Bio Follow May 2 at 7:48 AM As a 9-year-old, Sam Gordon was the girl with the pony tail bouncing beneath her football helmet, schooling boys her age on the way to the end zone and then to the spotlight as a booster for girls’ athletic participation, especially in football.
Sam Gordon insisted in a telephone interview that there are enough potential participants to at least offer football as an intramural sport that could eventually gain varsity status. But to Gordon, that system leaves girls who are interested in a non-sanctioned activity little recourse to push for new sports at their schools, said attorney Loren Washburn, who represents Gordon and five other plaintiffs who live in the districts that are being sued.
“We don’t know, we have no idea who wants to play,” Van Wagoner said. “They [the petitioners] think it’s like the movie [“Field of Dreams"], where ‘If we build it, they will come,’ but there’s not too many people out there. We’d be happy to have girls football if there was interest that was deep enough and wide enough to have statewide interest.Sam Gordon walks the NFL draft red carpet, on April 25, in Nashville.
