The new president of the Las Vegas Raiders is the first black woman to hold that position in the history of the National Football League.

Morgan's letter announcing her hire was obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

She said she would be meeting each of them in person over the next few weeks.

Morgan was the former Chairwoman of the Nevada gaming control board. Dan Ventrelle was let go.

Ventrelle claims that he was let go because he reported the issue of a hostile work environment to the National Football League.

Morgan was the vice-chair of the Las Vegas Super Bowl host committee and worked with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Several of the team's biggest stars got into trouble off the field, and Jon Gruden resigned after he was found to have used offensive language in email.

Morgan's husband used to play in the National Football League and she's been to Vegas since she was a child.

Morgan wrote that the Raiders have a long legacy of greatness because of each of them.

This new season for Raider Nation and the Las Vegas community, let's carry that spirit forward.
