Earlier this month, as part of an event that was streamed on this very website, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians received the 2020 Champion of Equality Award from the Women’s Sports Foundation.
Arians famously added the NFL’s first on-field female coaching staff member, Dr. Jen Welter, for the Arizona Cardinals’ 2015 training camp, and he has brought at least three women to Tampa Bay: assistant defensive line coach Lori Locust, assistant strength and conditioning coach Maral Javadifar, and director of football research Jacqueline Davidson.
This is why it’s so confounding that someone who is supposed to be a champion of women would bring Antonio Brown of all people onto his team.
