Abstract

Defined by the courageous spirit of the 100+ women's tackle football teams throughout the world, and inspired by the diversity of the players, Andra offers this work as a tribute to the female football players of all leagues and ages fueled by the force of their convictions. Providing refuge from the brazen commercialism of the NFL, are poetic expressions, depicting the close-up emotions of the athletes and coaches whose often impenetrable eyes and inscrutable countenance give little away. Andra Douglas, originally from Zephyrhills, FL, has lived in New York for over thirty years where she acquired the NY Sharks, a women's tackle football team, for which she also quarterbacked. Shortly afterwards, Andra established FINS UP, a foundation that strengthens young women's self esteem through participation in team sports.
