Sunday's Raiders-Panthers matchup marked the first game in NFL history between two teams with female presidents.
Sandra Douglass Morgan and Kristi Coleman met up pregame to commemorate the historic moment with a game ball exchange.
"Kristi has been a great colleague and friend, so to be able to share this moment with her makes it all the more special," Douglass Morgan said. "Although we're here to win the game and do what we do and do our jobs every single day, it is monumental that we have two female presidents at the helm. It's great to be able to celebrate each other pregame."
Both women were hired by their respective teams in 2022 – Douglass Morgan was named the Raiders president in July of 2022, while Coleman was named Panthers president in February of 2022. They have gotten to know each other well over the two seasons in their roles, with Douglass Morgan even joining Coleman for the Panthers' International Women's Day celebration back in 2023.
"You do feel a little bit more comfortable when you have someone else you can call," Coleman said via the Panthers. "While Charlotte and Vegas are obviously two very different markets, the role and what you're having to do isn't different. A lot of the things we do and nuances that we experience are the same."
According to The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, women in a professional staff position at the team level made up an all-time high 36.3% in 2023 – a number both Douglass Morgan and Coleman hope to continue to see grow.
"We both have been pretty open that in order to be it, sometimes you have to see it," Douglass Morgan said. "If anyone, a young woman, a young boy, anyone sees us and says, 'OK, I can do this. I can lead a team,' I think that's an incredible thing and again, I'm proud to share this moment with her."
