The Las Vegas Raiders have made NFL history.
As Myles Simmons of Profootballtalk reports, the Raiders have hired Sandra Douglass Morgan as their new team president.
The decision makes Morgan the first-ever black woman to hold such a post in the NFL.
Morgan joins the Raiders after previously serving as chairwoman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
In a letter sent to team employees, Morgan said, “I am thrilled to join you as we embark on one of the most exciting times in the history of our organization. I look forward to meeting each of you in person over the coming weeks.
