Are you ready for some football? Serena Williams is!
Posting a video on her Instagram account, Williams said it was “pretty dope” to be on the field at New Orleans’ Superdome, where the Kansas City Chiefs and Philiadelphia Eagles will play for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
“I think I could definitely not play football,” the former world No. 1 confessed, before deciding to get into the spirit of the occasion. Declaring “YOLO,” or “you only live once,” Williams decided to run the length of the field, predicting that she could run the 100 yards between end zones in 60 seconds.
“When is the next time I’m going to be able to run on a field?” she asked the camera, before quipping: “Well, I can do [that at the Miami] Dolphins.” (Williams and her sister Venus have been minority owners of the Dolphins since 2009.)
First breaking out into a slow jog, Williams picked up the pace at midfield as she was cheered on by other attendees in the still-closed stadium.
