The Las Vegas Raiders might not have seen much success on the field over the past 20 years—dating back to their last playoff victory—but they’ve consistently been a reputable, transparent, and reliable franchise. Their commitment to hiring dedicated individuals and supporting their fan base is unparalleled, which is why they boast the most diverse fan base in the NFL. This is no accident; the Raiders excel in their off-field operations.
A prime example of this is their appointment of Sandra Douglass Morgan as President, marking her as the NFL’s first African American female President. She wasn’t hired just to break barriers but because she’s exceptionally qualified and one of the best in the business.
On Tuesday, she demonstrated her leadership once again—just one of many instances since she stepped into the role. The UNLV Rebels, who share the Raiders’ stadium on game days, have their own practice facilities, which are among the best in their conference. However, they lack an indoor practice field like the Raiders have.
Given the sweltering heat in Las Vegas recently, with temperatures soaring to around 120 degrees, Morgan extended an invitation to the Rebels to use the Raiders’ practice facility while the Raiders were in Southern California for training camp. This generous gesture during a particularly harsh summer underscores her excellent decision-making, benefiting both the Raiders and the broader community. It’s clear the Raiders made the right choice in selecting her as their President.
