02/08/21: FOX’s Jamie Little talks about her historic assignment

Synopsys Sports spoke with Jamie Little about her journey on the ground, diversity, Speedweek and more.

Little's Opportunities: There's more room for women in motorsports than ever before. When I started covering Supercross in 2000, there were no other women talking about racing on TV. Honestly, that was one of the main factors that made me want to become a racecaster. There were no women on TV doing information or interviews. I thought, "There must be a lot of women fans like me, so I should do it!" Now, you see women in different roles throughout the industry, so it's natural for me to have an opportunity like play-by-play. I'm like, "Now is the time!" And my response is always like 99% yes. If you do your job, prove yourself, prove that you're a competent reporter, people will like you and accept you. Sure, some fans might not want to hear a woman's voice, or they might be slow to see and hear us, but that's rare.

On Diversity: A company like FOX Sports gives people like me a chance. You can't break barriers and go to new places unless someone gives you the opportunity. Having a woman on TV in a new role tends to open the eyes of people of all ages and genders and inspire those who thought it was impossible for them. If we give more women the opportunity to show their abilities, there will be more women in places I never thought they could.

On Daytona Speedweek 2021: I'm all of the above! Speedweek is always emotional in a good way. It's the first race of the year, a lot of garage changes, and it's also the biggest race of the year. It's definitely hectic, especially considering my new role at the pavilion on February 13th. There will be a lot of eyes on me and I'm looking forward to this opportunity.

On lessons learned from the pandemic: Race fans are very loyal! And we learned that we need them. We need their energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to our leaders. We also learned how many people became NASCAR fans because of the year 2020 we experienced... whether they tuned in because there was nothing else on TV or because NASCAR was making waves on and off the track. Whatever the reason, this year has brought us so many new fans.

About the highlights of the ARCA Menards Series: The ARCA Menards Series is a development series for drivers who dream of racing in the higher categories of NASCAR. I like that part. Ty Gibbs is the grandson of Joe Gibbs, a famous team owner and NFL coach. Ty is getting big enough to run the entire series this season and will definitely be a driver to watch every week. Gracie Trotter will be competing in Daytona with the best equipment from Superspeedway Racing (this team, Venturini Motorsports, won Daytona last year with Michael Self). She was the first woman to win an ARCA race last year and will definitely be running at the top. The driver to watch this year is Moffitt. Thad is the grandson of "King" Richard Petty. He has a great personality and drives fast. I'm looking forward to his first win in 2021.

Major League Soccer and the MLS Players Association have reached a tentative agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement and are set to enter into a collective bargaining agreement. The agreement will apply for the next seven years, through 2027, and is subject to approval by the MLS Board of Governors and membership of the MLSPA.

The NCAA will move all NCAA women's basketball tournaments to San Antonio to avoid COVID-19 risks. Last month, the NCAA announced that the men's tournament will be held in Indianapolis. The women's tournament will feature 64 teams and run from March 21 to April 4. The Alamodome will host the national championship and other rounds.

ESPN will add an NBA doubleheader to its schedule on February 14, with the Dallas Mavericks hosting the Portland Trail Blazers at 7:30 p. m., and the other half will feature the Lakers vs. Nuggets at 10 p. m.

For the Super Bowl, ESPN unveiled a new brand campaign called "El Lo Nuestro." The 60 Minutes anthem "conveys the joy of sports by sprinkling memorable moments from the NFL, NBA, MLB, UFC, Top Rank, American Football and more that spark passion among fans of all ages, genders, friends and families." The campaign marks ESPN Deportes' first new brand campaign in 12 years and is the first in a series of spots to run throughout the year. The platform partnered with Mexico-based agency Pararrayos on the creative.
