That attitude inspired Gordon to try out for the local boys football team after she started beating them in speed and agility drills. She played alongside the boys for a few years before founding the first known all-girls tackle football league in America, the Utah Girls Tackle Football League, in 2015. Although football for girls has come a long way, Gordon says she still struggles with plenty of naysayers.
Gordon and her father are in the process of suing three different school districts in Utah for that very opportunity. They hope to achieve gender equality for the sport by ensuring that the schools offer girls football as a varsity sport.
