Problem
After reading the chapter, viewing the lecture, reading the news article and watching the videos, answer the following questions:
When Sarah Thomas officiated the 2021 NFL Super Bowl she made history as the first woman to do so. Also, Katie Guay became the first woman to officiate an American Hockey League game and Stephanie Frappart became the first woman to referee a men's FIFA World Cup final in 2022. As outlined in the textbook, which barrier(s) to equity could you connect to why it has taken so long for woman to fully be accepted in male professional sports?
