Ask yourself how many major professional leagues are women's sports? And even the ones that are professional sports, I am sure there are not many opportunities to stay at that level. I know I watched the Women's World Cup and I did not see a single man working those games. Basketball might have the longest run with the WNBA, and many of those officials are women. I have over the years gone to many D1 camps and I did not see a single woman in attendance. Now maybe they are not being encouraged, but I do not see anyone even try to crack that level. That is why you have to look deeper than numbers of who is at those levels.
