CPS Starting New Flag Football League For High School Girls
For a long time, football has been a sport that girls could watch, but not necessarily play. But that is changing.
CHICAGO (CBS) — For a long time, football has been a sport that girls could watch, but not necessarily play. But that is changing, as the Bears have teamed up with Chicago Public Schools, Nike, and NFL Flag Football to bring a new league right here to Chicago — with 22 teams and four divisions.
“I’ve been really interested in sports that aren’t usually for girls,” said quarterback Daniela Navas. Navas took her interest in sports not usually for girls and turned it into action, now taking snaps as QB1 for Steinmetz College Prep, 3030 N. Mobile Ave.
