00:00As a black woman, yes, we have to worry about getting our hair wet.
00:06We stay away from blacks, black women, we avoid the pool.
00:09But you know what, when we play football, all that goes out the window.
00:14Well, it's also easier because we have a helmet.
00:16We're probably strong!
00:17Hell yeah!
00:23I'm Yashi.
00:24And I'm Chris Dale Harris.
00:25And we're from Oxygen.
00:26Pretty strong.
00:27I play defensive end for the Chicago Bliss.
00:29I've been playing since 2010.
00:32I'm Chris Dale Harris, known as the Ferrari, the fastest running back in the LFL.
00:37You know, women aren't supposed to touch.
00:39We're supposed to play in, you know, ballet and run track, you know, cheerleading, things like that.
00:44We're not supposed to be the ones that's actually out there being aggressive and being passionate.
00:48This is 2015.
00:49Women can play football.
00:51We are strong.
00:52We are pretty.
00:52We are beautiful.
00:53We can do it all.
00:54That's why we gravitate to it so much, because we are aggressive.
00:57We are the full definition of what it is to be pretty and strong.
01:01All those barriers, all those, you know, the assumptions of, oh, we can't get our hair wet.
01:06We can't, you know, we can't, you know, be cute on the football.
01:09We don't care about those things.
01:10We just play and let everybody else do the talking for us.
