In an attempt to entertain and distract the public from World War II, Philip K. Wrigley helped crack the gender barrier in sports by creating "A League Of Their Own," A baseball league made up of all women. Representing a new outlook on women’s roles and accomplishments, the league broke down a barrier by creating a professional women’s sport which impacted more opportunities for women today. Although the barrier of an organized women’s sport was broken, unfortunately the idea of sexism still remains. ​​​​​​​
