"She's a trailblazer," he said. Team President Michael Bidwill said the move has the enthusiastic support of the organization, which has long been known for hir- ing minorities for manage- ment positions. Bidwill said he spoke Monday night with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who congratulated the Cardinals on the move. Known as Dr. Jen back in Texas, Welter has a PhD in psychology as well as a sea- son as a player on a men's team, the Texas Revolu- tion of the Indoor Football League. There are a lot of people who are better than her at the X's and O's of football, she said, "but the heart fac- tor,theintelligentplayerfac- tor, the being-the-person- with-the-motor-who-won't- quit factor, those are things I know I can add to." Welter is the latest woman to enter what had been a men-only position. In April, the NFL announced that Sarah Thomas would be the league's first full-time female official. The NBA long has had a female offi- cial. And Becky Hammon is an assistant with the San Antonio Spurs and recently was head coach of the Spurs team that won the Las Ve- gas Summer League cham- pionship. Welter said that for too long girls have been given the wrong message, that it's so important to be pretty. "We show them as ac- cessories, for no other bet- ter way to put it," she said. "We teach them very early on to be pretty, marry well andthenactbadlyandyou'll get on TV, and that's what they grow up thinking what fame is or success is. "I want little girls to grow up knowing that when they put their minds to some- thing, when they work hard, they can do anything." Thehiringstemmedfrom comments Arians made at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix last March. He was asked about the possibility of women coach- ing in the league. "The minute they can provetheycanmakeaplayer better, they'll be hired," Ari- ans said. A short time later, the coach of the Texas Revolu- tion got in touch with Ari- ans and said he knew some- one who might fit that bill. Arians called Welter and offered her one of the team's six internships, then he got the backing of general man- agerSteveKeimandBidwill. "He had to get all the right yeses but it was his heart that made it happen," Welter said, "and it was his belief that the Arizona Car- dinals are the team that could handle this happen- ing and that he has coaches on his staff that would em- brace it and not cast me off to the side. You can't blaze a trail alone. Otherwise you're going to get stuck in the woods." Welter grew up in Vero Beach, Florida, and she told a story a relative related to her about when she could hardly see out of a helmet: She would have the family drag a mattress outside so she could have the bigger kids tackle her. Welter FROMPAGE1 tender. It's the second big move in three days by the Royals, who acquired ace Johnny Cueto from Cincin- nati on Sunday. "I'm already joining a team that's already a great team, Zobrist said. "And the addition of Johnny Cueto, you gotta believe there's go- ing to be a lot more wins coming over the next couple months. I'm super excited about it." During a conference call with reporters, Zobrist re- called an amusing encoun- ter with Yost. In 2003-04, he was college roommates with Ned Yost Jr., and after coming home with his girl- friend, Zobrist found the younger Yost and his father, thenmanageroftheMilwau- kee Brewers, sitting on the couch "watching NASCAR or something." Zobrist said he wanted to cook dinner for his soon-to- be wife. "I kind of booted him out of our apartment," Zobrist said. "I kind of joked with himaboutthatalittleearlier. We're a long time from that, but it's kind of a funny story. I knew him way back when." A's FROM PAGE 1 der no legal obligation to cooperate. The NFL had some mes- sages from Brady sent to an equipment manager's phone, but investigators wanted to see if Brady's cell- phone had other messages related to footballs. The four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback was suspended by NFL ex- ecutive Troy Vincent in May following the Wells report. The Patriots were fined $1 million and docked a pair of draft picks. The team didn't appeal its penalty, but Brady appealed. The NFL Players Asso- ciation said in a statement on Tuesday that it would ap- peal in court. "The NFL resorted to a nebulous standard of 'gen- eral awareness' to predicate a legally unjustified punish- ment," the union said, add- ing, "the NFL violated the plain meaning of the collec- tive bargaining agreement." Moments after announc- ing Goodell's decision, the league filed action in U.S. District Court in New York against the union, saying the NFL commissioner has the right under the la- bor agreement to hand out such discipline "for conduct that he determines is detri- mental to the integrity of, or public confidence in, the game of professional foot- ball." Goodell mentioned ex- actly that in the conclusion of his appeal decision. "Especially in light of the new evidence introduced at the hearing — evidence demonstrating that he ar- ranged for the destruction of potentially relevant evi- dence that had been specif- ically requested by the in- vestigators — my findings and conclusions have not changed in a manner that would benefit Mr. Brady," Goodell said. But Yee argued that Brady's side was given only four hours to present a de- fense, and when he asked for documents from Wells, that request was rejected on the basis of privilege. "We therefore had no idea as to what Wells found from other witnesses, nor did we know what those other witnesses said," Yee said. Yee adds the electronic data presented in Brady's defense was ignored dur- ing the appeal hearing. Brady and the Patriots have denied knowingly us- ing deflated footballs in the AFC title game win over Indianapolis. The Pa- triots went on to beat Seat- tle in the Super Bowl and Brady was the MVP. In its statement, the team said "We cannot comprehend the league's position in this matter." The NFL announced in late January that Wells would head an investiga- tion into New England's use of underinflated balls against the Colts. More than three months later, the 243-page Wells report was issued, saying it was "more probable than not" that Brady was "at least generally aware" that foot- balls he used were improp- erly deflated by team per- sonnel. Brady appealed and the union asked Goodell to re- cuse himself from hearing the appeal because he could not be impartial and might be called as a witness. But Goodell said it was his re- sponsibility to oversee the hearing to protect the in- tegrity of the league. Brady FROM PAGE 1 ship with the IOC. New York finished fourth out of five finalists for the 2012 Olympics. Chicago was last in the running for 2016. The USOC skipped the 2020 bid to make sure it got things right this time around. At a meeting in January, the board went with Boston, choosing the new, never-done-this-be- fore candidate over Los Angeles, which has hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984. San Francisco and Washington were not in the mix at the end. It was a grand — some say, inexcusable — miscal- culation. How could the USOC not have gauged the unsteadiness of the bid and the amount of opposition in Boston? But the leadership tried to salvage things by cutting ties in time to get another city on board. "In some ways, the USOC said, 'Let's see if this works,'" USA Gymnas- tics president Steve Penny said of the Boston selec- tion. "They went down that road. It didn't pan out like they hoped. But they're say- ing, 'We could still salvage something here and put a decent bid out there.'" Los Angeles' proposal incorporated many of the area's most famous sites: Santa Monica beach, Ro- deo Drive in Beverly Hills, the Rose Bowl, the Holly- wood sign. The centerpiece would be an expanded Los Angeles Memorial Coli- seum, which stands as a rarity in the United States since it was designed to be ringed by a running track. There would be hurdles to overcome. "There is very little ap- petite in California for pub- lic funding of sports facili- ties," said Mark Fabiani, an attorney for the San Diego Chargers. But most of the key ven- ues that would be used at an L.A. Olympics are already built. And by 2024, there's a good chance an NFL team or teams will have built at least one stadium that could be up and running. There could be opposi- tion, though the lack of an organized group when the city was first in the mix for 2024 stood in stark con- trast to Boston, where a protest group was already active and even showed up at a USOC meeting to hang a banner. Details have been vague both about how the city would fund an Olym- pics and whether Garcetti would be willing to sign the host city contract that government leaders in Bos- ton balked at. Despite those hurdles, Los Angeles is not a city that needs to be sold on the Olympics. It has, on the whole, embraced its previ- ous role as host, and much has been made about its ability to run the games on a surplus and with a min- imum of public financing. The 1984 Olympic torch remains on display at City Hall.
