Norma Hunt, matriarch of one of Dallas’ most famous sports families and the only woman to attend all 57 Super Bowls, died Saturday night in her Highland Park...
On Sunday, NFL commissioner and longtime Hunt family friend Roger Goodell reacted to Norma Hunt’s passing.
Lamar famously, and accurately, is credited with coining the name “Super Bowl,” but Norma, too, unknowingly played a key role. He later surmised that he must have subliminally thought about the Wham-O Superballs he had seen his children bounce around the house. It was Norma who purchased the balls at Toy World in Dallas, although she told“I was buying some other toys and brought my purchases to the counter and saw this box of balls with a poster behind it, showing the balls being bounced over the house,” she recalls. “I thought, ‘Oh my gosh. My ball-loving children would just love to have these.
“He told Clark to be sure that I went to the Super Bowl, when he was so sick in the hospital that he could barely talk,” Norma told. “He was so sick that he was afraid that he wouldn’t make it and he couldn’t bear for me not to make it. And he thought that if I didn’t make it, I wouldn’t go again.
