    The San Francisco 49ers officially hired Katie Sowers for the 2017 season last week, making her the team's first female assistant coach. She's also the second full-time female assistant coach in NFL history.

    Sowers joins Buffalo Bills quality control coach Kathryn Smith, who last year became the league's first female full-time assistant.

    On Tuesday, Sowers, 31, made more history, becoming the NFL's first openly gay coach. In an interview with Outsports.com, Sowers discussed her sexual orientation for the first time on the record.

    Females in Football are an odd combination. It's like guys looking forward and enjoying a baby shower. The 49ers have an openly gay female coach. Try that is Pittsburgh!
