I have no problem with the subject being explored, but like a lot of things they probably are missing the boat on the reality of the profession of officiating. Women do not get into sports officiating the same way men do and do not explore getting into officiating at the higher levels. I only know of one woman in my area that officiates football for example and she is not on the track to even explore higher level football at this time. That is less than what you see in basketball for example as it relates to women. I do believe there is discrimination in officiating against women, but it is not the way this article tried to portray the situation.

Peace
