Nothing needs to be fixed. And I do bat many eyes when I see some crews working some games. Old, overweight, old rule knowledge, etc.. But is picking a crew to make a point (this is speculation for arguments sake) that women have made it (3 women on the game) then that's absurd. And I can tell you that women are moved up much faster and are given more opportunity because of their gender. Some are even rushed way ahead of schedule to "balance" things out.

All I want is a system (in anything not just officiating) that is more objective and less subjective. That's my pipe dream.
