WASHINGTON — Introducing the D.C. Divas, the three-time National Champions and 2025 National Conference Champions who are redefining success in football. This season, they’re drawing inspiration from Chad Powers, the main character in Hulu’s latest football series featuring Glen Powell.
The series follows Powell portraying a former star quarterback attempting a comeback as a walk-on. The themes of perseverance and second chances resonate deeply with the Divas, as they represent women of diverse ages and professions, striving to excel in a male-dominated sport.
Wide receiver Lois Cook, who is also Vice President of the Divas, has played for more than two decades and said effort matters more than raw talent.
“Skills can be taught, but heart is innate,” she remarked. “With every step, I become the bigger, stronger, better, and faster version of myself.”
Head Coach “Coach Ghost,” who started with the team in 2001, praised her players commitment and drive.
“These women are extraordinary individuals,” she expressed. “They devote everything to their families, their children, to me, and to the future of football.”
“We cannot be denied. Now is the time to watch women’s sports. And if you’re able to, come out and play; promise that you’ll fall in love!”
“This is not just men’s football, not just women’s football, this is football,” added quarterback Amanda Congialdi.
New episodes of Chad Powers stream Tuesdays on Hulu and with Hulu on Disney+.
Disney is the parent company of ABC Localish and this station.
