Ki'Lolo Westerlund, a 17-year-old flag football star from Las Vegas, featured in the NFL Flag 50 commercial aired during Super Bowl LIX. Although unable to see it live due to attending the game with her father, she made waves as a standout player at Liberty High School and a member of the U.S. Girls' Junior National Team. Westerlund's role in the commercial highlighted her journey in facing doubt as a female athlete, and she aims to make girls flag football a varsity sport nationwide. She will also try out for the U.S. Women's National Team later this month.
"It was really an honor to see my hard work recognized on such a big stage. Playing against stereotypes and excelling in the sport means everything to me."
"I hope this inspires more girls to pursue flag football and shows that we belong on the field, too, no matter the challenges."
