The NBA has demonstrated itself to be a progressive league, especially in comparison to other sports. The Toronto Raptors, like the league, have taken steps to be vocal advocates for equality, as evidenced by their antiracism campaign.

Though the franchise named John Wiggins to oversee organizational culture and inclusion, there still appears to be a gaping hole for the Raptors when it comes to equity. There is a lack of female representation on their staff.

Recently, Becky Hammon made NBA history by being the first female finalist for a head coach position when the Portland Trail Blazers put her on their shortlist.
