News: Holley Mangold Proves Beefy Fat Chicks Can Play Football Too

Holly Mangold

From FoxSports.Com: 

Mangold’s sister following in his footsteps

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) - When Jets center Nick Mangold started playing football in third grade, he developed his own little fan club.

Baby sister Holley idolized him. She got dragged to watch him practice and play in games. She used to play a little game with Nick at home, too. Nick would get down on his knees and then tell Holley and their other sister, Kelley, to tackle him.

Holley loved every second of it. She loved the hitting and tackling. Then she thought, “I want to play football, too.” It hardly mattered that she was a little girl, and wanted to play offensive line - practically unheard of for women getting involved in such a physical, violent game.

Their dad, Vern, was also against the idea. He admits, “I was old school. I didn’t think girls should play football.” Finally, mom Therese convinced Vern to let Holley play. She started in second grade and has followed in the same footsteps as her big brother, going into her junior year at Archbishop Alter High in Kettering, Ohio, with a chance to start at guard on the varsity team

    I want to let this girl know that I am really impressed. I am a female that has also played football…I played on a professional womens football team in Columbus Ohio…the Columbus Comets. Football is what you make it…it can be played by anyone with the heart and desire to win. I am also a very large female, I am 6′4″ tall and I used it to my advantage. I used it to get a free college education and make something of myself. I am proud of her…you go girl!
