(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 10 - For the first time in the history of the Nba, the American basketball championship, a match was commented by women commentators.
Not only that, even the studio team - director, producers, operators - was made up of only women.
It was the Espn network, one of the most famous sports broadcasters in the United States, that decided the turning point in the match between the Utah Jazz and the Golden State Warriors.
In total, 33 women, probably the largest all-female production ever fielded in USA sports journalism.
Two years ago in Canada Nbc Sports and Sportsnet had sent a team of women on the air for the games of the hockey championship but it was a special occasion, on the occasion of March 8.
"There are many women who have worked on the NBA and Espn circuit who have earned the opportunity to work on television shows like this one," commented Beth Mowins, one of the commentators who had already made history last December by becoming the first woman to comment. on television a basketball game and in 2017 the first at a game of the NFL, the football championship.
