Tiffani Horne Q&A
|
Who was your childhood idol? Why?
|
| Phylicia Rashad…I wanted to be Clair Huxtable as a child. She was beautiful, smart, successful, and loved her family. I wanted to have a family just like the Cosbys when I grew up. |
|
Who are your biggest supporters?
|
| My family and friends. |
|
If you could have a conversation with anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose? Why?
|
| Adolf Hitler…I would want to know how one person could harbor so much hate toward people. |
|
Who is your female sports idol?
|
| Laila Ali. |
|
Who is your favorite NFL player? Why?
|
| Joe Montana…I started watching football with my uncle when I was eight years old, and at that time, Joe Montana was the greatest quarterback around. He always remained calm and cool under pressure, and as a child, I admired that. I have been a 49er fan ever since. |
|
What are your favorite hobbies or special interests?

|
How would you describe yourself in three words?
|
| Bold, determined, loyal. |
|
What was the first sport you ever played?
|
| Basketball. |
|
How did you get into women’s football?
|
| I used to play flag football and have always wanted to play tackle, so I thought I would give it a shot. |
|
If you could play any other position, which one would you choose? Why?
|
| Middle linebacker…because they seek and destroy. |
|
Why do you play women’s tackle football?
|
| I have loved football since I was a child, but being a girl, I was never able to play. I wanted to play with the boys but instead my family made me become a cheerleader, which I did enjoy. So I put down my football and picked up my pom poms. |
|
What does it mean to you to be a D.C. Diva?
|
I tried out for the D.C. Divas back in 2003 and did not make the team. I thought my football hopes were over, so I put it on the shelf for many years. In 2013, I got the itch to give it one more shot before I got too old. I trained and went back to tryouts, and now here I am a D.C. Diva. |
