The main argument against male/female integration is the simple difference of physique. Women are physically 'weaker'. In a fight, the average man beats the average woman. That's understandable, and I doubt too many people would argue. But what about other aspects of sports, where there is no 'playing'?

In professional sports, how many female owners are there?

Female coaches?

Referee's or umpire's?

In whatever sports you follow, do you know of a single woman in any of these positions? How about the GM position? Female sports do not count, of course.

If there are any females in these types of positions, there can't be more than a couple. Why not have female head-coaches? They don't need to be physical. Why not a female umpire in baseball? Some people, lawyers, might enjoy a nice trial... maybe a little prejudice trial, or discrimination. Sexism is not accepted in modern American society. Are women being oppressed? Are they uninterested? Do they somehow lack the necessary abilities?

I can't imagine they lack the abilities. How can being a referee be so incredibly difficult?

Without question, there are more men interested in sports than women, but there should be plenty enough women to fill at least a few pro-sports positions. If you do the math of interested men vs. interested women, shouldn't there be a proportionate amount of female umpires to male?

You tell me, why do you think there are no women in these types of pro-sports positions?
