WNBA refs admit they are told [View all]

how to call games by higher-ups. There is more in this discussion about their pay, experience etc. It has become really egregious. A referee calls something a violation for one team but not for the same violation by the other team. I've been frustrated with this awful officiating for years now. People are talking about it more because there are more outlets talking about it. The W hierarchy is trying to pass it off as "you new fans just don't understand" etc. Way to go WNBA. Call your increased viewership ignorant and not knowing basketball. So how about rather than being insulted by the W maybe the fans should just let it go back to what it was 2 or 3 years ago when they couldn't fill a small town high school gym for most of their games.

I like watching good basketball, player development etc. but watching these things occur throughout game after game makes me turn the channel. The NBA lost me for some of these same things. The NFL and MLB also. I understand missing a call here or there but when it is constant throughout game after game I'm gone.
