Sam Rapoport Biography

Sam Rapoport is the Senior Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion with the National Football League. Rapoport has dedicated her career to leading organizational transformation in the NFL. With this focus, she has worked to change the face of football to include more women, with an emphasis on women of color, in the talent pipeline.

Rapoport catalyzed a movement for women in sports by creating a new diversity platform for the NFL, the NFL Women's Forum, that has since been replicated by other professional sports leagues. Through this effort, over 225+ female coaching, scouting and operations candidates have been hired in the six-year period; a record number.

Prior to this role, Rapoport spent 6 years on the leadership team at USA Football where she created the Women's World Football Games, the largest women's tackle football event in the world.

Rapoport is the host of the NFL and iHeart Radio's podcast, "Earnin' It: The NFL's Forward Progress", created and produced by Jane Goodell and she currently speaks to organizations domestically and globally about the progress the NFL has experienced through these efforts.

Rapoport was recently named one of People Magazine’s 25 Women Changing the World, Fortune's 40 Under 40, Sports Illustrated's most Powerful, Most Influential and Most Outstanding Women in Sports and was included in The Athletic’s NFL 40 under 40. In 2019, Rapoport was awarded the NFL Commissioner’s Award selected by Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Rapoport has played football since the age of 14 as quarterback of several women’s tackle and flag football teams. She is a graduate of McGill University in Montreal, Canada and recently received an Honorary Doctorate from D’Youville University for her accomplishments at the NFL. Sam resides with her wife, Rebecca and children, Jordy and Tobin in the New York City area.
