We might consider the NFL being a predominantly male-dominated sport. From coaches to players to owners, we see a lot of male notable figures in the NFL. But there are a few exceptions who stand out because of their sheer dedication towards the sport. Such is the name of Amy Trask. She is the former CEO of the Las Vegas Raiders, formerly known as the Oakland Raiders. However, one NFL Insider made some uninformed comments about her on social media.

Because of her efforts and dedication to building the team, fans still remember Amy Trask as if it was just yesterday. But that does not seem to be the case for everyone. A reputed NFL reporter who posted a questionable tweet about the current Cleveland Browns Assistant GM has now come under scrutiny and fire by Trask and her following. So how did this whole situation begin in the first place?

In his tweet, the National Insider for NFL Network stated that Amy Trask is potentially on her way to being the first female GM in the NFL. But Trask already was the CEO of the Las Vegas Raiders before she joined the Browns as an assistant GM.

 

However, Trask politely commented on the post, stating that she was grateful to people for remembering and thinking about her.

But the NFL world was quick to catch this mistake of Rapoport. While other fans shared their opinions on the same.

There is no such thing as trying in the big leagues.
