FILE - In this April 25, 2019, file photo, female football player Sam Gordon walks the NFL draft red carpet in Nashville, Tenn. Opening arguments in a lawsuit brought by Gordon pushing to compel the state to create all-girls football teams at high schools were heard in federal court Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2020. Gordon became an online star when a video of the then 9-year-old girl's dominant football skills against boys gained widespread attention online in 2012. She, her father and other girls who wanted to play football filed a lawsuit against the three districts and the Utah High School Activities Association five years later. (AP Photo/Doug Benc, File)
