It is more like a social phenomenon (male-dominated sports) that has lasted past its real usefulness. Society changes slowly. Remember that Billy Gene king changed the sport of tennis - and now women mostly get equal pay and equal time for their matches on TV.
..........I call that an improvement (like Chapter 9 in college sports) as society PROGRESSES forward.
