Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te NFL te kaitohutohu wāhine tuatahi o te kēmu wā-katoa. Ko Sarah Thomas, nāna i mahi i ngā kēmu whakaaturanga, hei kaiwhakawā mō te tau 2015, i pānuitia e te riiki i te Rāapa. Ko te 41-tau te pakeke i roto i te kaupapa whanaketanga whakahaere a te riiki i te 2013-14 me te mahi i etahi roopu roopu i te tau kua hipa. Kua oti kē i a ia te whakatū i te mara whakawātea hei wahine tuatahi ki te mahi i ngā kēmu o te kura i te tau 2007. Ko ia te rangatira wahine tuatahi i te taumata FBS me te tuatahi ki te whakahaere i tetahi keemu peihana, te 2009 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl i Detroit. Ko Sarah Thomas te kaiwhakawa wāhine tuatahi o te NFL, ā, ka noho hei kaiwhakawa raina i te tau e haere ake nei. E tū ana a Thomas i te kēmu o mua i te tau i waenganui i te Seahawks me te Chargers i te tau whakamutunga. 'He wahine ahau, engari kaore au e titiro ki ahau ano he wahine,' i kii a Thomas i te marama o Hune i te wa e mahi ana i te puni iti o Cleveland Browns. 'E whakaaro ana ahau ki ahau ano he rangatira.' I mahi a Shannon Eastin i nga keemu NFL o te tau 2012 hei kaiwhakahaere whakakapi, na ko ia te wahine tuatahi i mahi i tetahi waahanga. He kaiwhakawa rārangi hoki ia. Ko Thomas, he kaitakaro poitūkohu o mua o te whare wānanga, i whakaaweawe ia ki te noho hei rangatira i nga tau 1990 i a ia e haere ana ki tetahi hui me tana tuakana, a Lea. I te tau 1996, ko Thomas te wahine tuatahi i whakahaere i tetahi keemu whutupaoro kura tuarua o te Wahanga 1-A i Mississippi. I raro noa i te tekau tau i muri mai, ka tiimata ia ki te whakahaere i nga keemu o te kaareti i te wa i utua ai ia e te Huihuinga USA, e mahi ana hei kaiwhakawa raina me te rangatira raina. Kua mahi ano ia i te Senior Bowl, te Fight Hunger Bowl, te Medal of Honor Bowl, me te Huihuinga USA Championship i te 2010 me te 2014. E rua nga tau i whakahaerehia e Thomas i te United Football League, kua kore nei e mahi. I waho o te mara, he māngai rongoā ia. I kii ia i te marama o Pipiri o te tau kua hipa, kaore ana tama tokorua me tana tamahine i kite i tetahi mea nui mo tana mahi whutupaoro. 'E mōhio ana rātau e mahi ana a Māmā, ā, ehara i te mea hou ki a rātau, ki te paeonia, ki tētahi atu mea rānei,' i mea ia. 'Ka mahia e ahau tenei.'
