8 - Brooke Bentley talks gender bias, toxic culture, and role models inside the NFL
Brooke Bentley is a former television anchor and award-winning sports reporter. After graduating with a master's in journalism from the University of Southern California, she spent two years working for the Houston Texans as a media personality and over a decade working in sports journalism. Brooke now devotes her time to championing local nonprofits, including Homemade Hope, where she served as the development director. She and her husband live in Houston and are raising two young boys.
Sideline Confidential is Brooke's debut novel, where she shares her firsthand knowledge of the challenges women professionals face int he male-dominated world of professional sports.
Brooke's Notes from the Sidelines:
- Knowledge is power, whether it's knowing people, the game, or an industry.
- Sports is being a part of a team and working toward a common goal. Sports brings together people from all walks of life so that you are cheering for a common team.
- The fact is men don't have to navigate the same issues as women in the sometimes toxic culture of the NFL. Brooke's book, Sideline Confidential, while fiction, highlights how it is harder for women to work in these situations where people could comment on their appearance and they don't know if standing up for themselves will cost them their job.
- We have amazing women to admire in sports journalism, such as Hannah Storm, Andrea Kraemer, Doris Burke, and Chris Evert.
