Indianapolis Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon, one of the few female leaders in the NFL, recently went viral for her hands-on approach with the team. A video captured the 45-year-old on the sideline during the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, wearing a headset and taking notes.
Irsay-Gordon, who inherited the franchise, has a history of attending player meetings and gym sessions. She previously stated her involvement helps her gauge the expertise of her staff, saying, "I need to be able to say, is this person full of BS?" Listening to play calls via headset has aided her understanding of the team's complex operations.
However, her visible presence on the field has drawn criticism from some fans. Comments on social media suggest her involvement could create a stressful environment for coaches and players, with one user remarking, "Geez literally have the boss stand over your shoulder while you work."
The Colts are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs next, aiming to recover from their season-opening defeat.
