The Raiders continued their rich history of breaking barriers Thursday with the hire of Sandra Douglass Morgan to serve as team president, making her the first African-American woman to assume the role in NFL history.
Las Vegas introduced Morgan in a press conference Thursday afternoon after announcing the move in a letter obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Morgan, the chairwoman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board from 2019 to ’21, will now join Kristi Coleman (Panthers) and Kim Pegula (Bills) as the only women to hold the title of team president, and Sashi Brown (Ravens) and Jason Wright (Commanders) as the only African-Americans named to the position in league history.
