Is it political or is it the gender equivalent of affirmative action?

Affirmative action is based on race and gender and ethnicity. The biggest benefactor of Affirmative Action policies in this country are white women. If you do not believe me look it up. Based on your question I am not sure you understand what Affirmative Action really is. Having said that, I was not just talking about just women who work games on the D1 Basketball on the Women's side in this post. The same officials seemed to work them regardless of what their gender is. I will say that there are Women that get opportunities that the men never do with the same level of experience. That does not bother me one bit, but I do not see this surge of Black male officials getting D1 opportunities on the Men's side the way women get those opportunities on the Women's side. Not unless they work the SWAC or MEAC.

Peace
