In a groundbreaking move, the 49ers have hired the first openly LGBT football coach in NFL history.
Katie Sowers, who worked with wide receivers as an intern with the team this summer, gave an interview to SBNation’s OutSports website that was published Tuesday, confirming her sexual orientation.
“No matter what you do in life, one of the most important things is to be true to who you are,” Sowers, 31, told the site.
