Just when it seemed like the NFL could not get any more “woke,” the league has taken things to a whole new level by hiring Barack Obama’s former communications director Katie Hill as their new Senior Vice President of Communications.

NFL Hires Former Obama Official

“As Senior Vice President, Hill will be responsible for leading the NFL’s day-to-day communications operation, aligning the League’s communications strategy with its priorities.” the NFL said in a statement. “She will work closely with the leadership team across departments to ensure consistency of messaging and strategy, and to elevate success stories.”

“In addition, she will lead efforts in identifying reputational issues for the League and across the 32 clubs and developing strategies to mitigate their impact,” the statement added. “Hill will be based at League headquarters in New York and will report to Jeff Miller, Executive Vice President of Communications, Public Affairs and Policy.”

Miller Praises Hill

Miller wasted no time in heaping praise on the former Obama official.

“We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome someone of Katie’s talent to the NFL,” said Miller. “Her communications vision, world-class strategic instincts, and deep understanding of today’s dynamic media, digital and cultural landscape make her an excellent fit for the League and our goals.”

NBC Sports explained that the term “reputational issues” actually just means that Hill will essentially serve as a “fixer.” She’ll solve already-existing problems while also keeping new ones from popping up.

NFL Brags About Hill’s Time In Obama Administration

The NFL was quick to brag about Hill’s “accomplishments” as a member of the Obama a administration, saying:

From 2014 to 2017, Hill served in the Obama Administration, first as National Press Secretary for health care at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, then joining the White House in 2015 as Assistant Press Secretary and spokesperson for a variety of policy areas, including health care, education, veterans’ affairs, the Council on Women and Girls, and sports.

She also has worked on Capitol Hill and at a public relations firm. She was honored in 2016 as one of Out Magazine’s “OUT100” LGBTQ leaders, alongside her White House colleagues, for their work to advance equality.

In case you had any doubts about how political the NFL has become, this shows you once and for all that the league is now a tool for the “woke” left.

It doesn’t matter to the NFL that millions of conservatives are football fans as well.

All all they care about is using the sport to spread liberal values and garner more power for Democrats.
