Episode notes
Chiefs Support
- Amy Trask wants the Chiefs to win for two reasons: she's an AFC fan, and Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt welcomed her when she was the only woman at NFL meetings.
- Hunt's support and encouragement were invaluable to Trask early in her career.
DEI in the NFL
- Trask believes DEI is important, but hopes it becomes less newsworthy.
- She wants hiring to be based on merit, like in Apollo 13 where everyone focused on the mission not individuals' identities.
International Games
- Roger Goodell's goal of 16 international games is realistic given 32 teams, according to Trask.
- She also predicts an increase to 18 regular season games to simplify win-loss calculations.
