NFL Hosts Panel on Women's Sports with Caitlin Clark, Serena Williams

Caitlin Clark, star of the Indiana Fever and reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, participated in a panel at the NFL's annual meeting alongside Serena Williams, discussing the growth of women's sports and the NFL's interest in establishing a flag football league. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell highlighted Clark's status as an 'icon' and the value of her and Williams' insights for league owners looking to invest in women's sports. During the discussion, Clark noted that had flag football been available in her youth, it might have influenced her choice of sport. The inclusion of both athletes was aimed at learning from their unique perspectives in the context of expanding women's sports. Meanwhile, Clark's influence continues as evidenced by the record-breaking sale of her rookie card for over $366,000. The Fever are preparing for the upcoming season in hopes of improving on their previous playoff appearance.
