The NBA has even gone as far as saying they want 50% of ref & coaching hires to be female in the near future. Will this happen? Probably not but at least they are talking and have a foundation to build off of.
but nothing is stopping women from having that opportunity is there?

they've started two leagues, one of which is still in business as far as i know.

i know someone will twist my words, but the people that need to start supporting women's sport is women. They make up half the population... Every major league started from nothing; people went to watch because they enjoyed the product...
