Saturday's New York Times carried the story of Bibiana Steinhaus, the first woman to referee in the German Bundesliga. Good for her and good for the sport. No reason a woman who is qualified cannot officiate in the Bundesliga or any other top league. Are you listening MLS?
Steinhaus seems pretty cool - serious about the job, worked hard to get where she is but still a bit in awe. “This is the freaking Bundesliga! This is cool!" she is quoted as saying.
Maybe in the not too distant future having a woman working top games in any sport will no longer be news.
