A career that has been dominated by the male population over the years has been sportscasting. However, times are changing and it is time stop labeling careers as male or female dominate. Therefore, I have taken on researching the female shattering the glass ceiling of sportscasting. I have found alarming facts and articles that cover the struggles and triumphs that women have faced to turn sportscasting into a career that is female welcoming, such as the following:
