Designated Drinker Show

Our Designated Drinker believes that learning how to tackle your opponent is an essential step towards equality. Rich Daniel, owner of the DC Divas, is leveling the playing field for girls and women in sports through full tackle football and community engagement. Rich is a real-life example of someone who puts his money where his mouth is; as a long-time advocate for media coverage of women’s sports, he covered the DC Divas as a news reporter on his own for multiple years, eventually becoming GM and buying the team in 2018. Under Rich’s leadership, the DC Divas are blazing a path for women to excel in professional sports, whether through college scholarships or career experience. If you too believe that women are capable of anything possible, grab a ticket to an upcoming game or watch them on ESPN2!
