Football, Women

(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 06, 2007 ) Sacramento, CA. – Although gaining in popularity, women’s professional football is still very obscure to the avid football fan. But, watching these ladies play a tough game, hitting and running like the guys that make our fall Sundays a great pastime, perhaps football fans worldwide need to take note.In an exclusive interview with Calmagazine.com, the first all Latino internet television, Nadine Vela, co-owner and defensive tackle of the Sacramento Siren’s women’s professional football club shares her love of the game and what it takes to play football as a woman. “It feels great to be in an organization that has been taking steps forward each year we’ve been in existence,” says Vela, who works the graveyard shift at a nearby Indian Casino. “I felt very strongly about what the Sacramento Sirens were trying to do in our community and decided to take a stake in it.”The Sacramento Sirens were the first Professional sports team to win a championship for the region and now hold a dynasty after winning four world championships. The Sirens are one of 31 teams that comprise the Independent Women’s Football League, located in such football states as California, Washington, Michigan, New York, Louisiana, and Georgia. They are divided into three conferences and play their season beginning in April of each year with Championship games in July.“We deal with a lot of new talent each year,” says Vela, “It takes a certain type of person to play football and sometimes a person doesn’t have what it takes to play football, so it’s a bit of a struggle.” With an average fan base of 2,000 dedicated cheering football fans, the Sirens are perhaps on their way to win a fifth professional championship title for Sacramento.The entire interview and clips from the Sacramento Siren’s latest game can now be seen on CalMagazine.com’s latest edition of “The Locker Room” webshow.
