Female referee removed after LaVar Ball threatens to pull team off court
Source: ESPN
"She got a vendetta because she's a woman who's trying to act -- I get that she's trying to break into the refereeing thing," Ball told ESPN after the game. "But just giving techs and calling fouls, that's no way to do it.
"I know what she trying to say: 'Oh I gave him a tech. I'm strong.' That ain't got nothing to do with it. Just call the game. If you're going to be qualified, you better be in shape and you better know the game. And she's bad on both of them. She's not in shape, she's not calling the game right. And she don't understand.
"And now she's trying to make a name for herself, so she's walking around like, 'You know I'm the only woman in here.' Yeah, we get it. I don't care if you're a woman, or a man or whatever, just be good at what you do.
"Don't try to step in the lane. She needs to stay in her lane because she ain't ready for this. [Ref] the little kids first and then come up. Because she ain't did enough. She ain't got enough on her résumé, I could tell."

(53,949 posts)decision to take the female ref out was wrong. This guy is not backed by the NBA or Adidas now.
Shoe companies and the NBA, hugely popular now with women because of the Dubs v Cavs rivalry are not going to endanger their resulting revenue by siding with an out-of-control, anti-woman troglodyte.
Sexism like that doesn't fly anymore.
Are you not of aware of that?
Better question, are you siding with that?

IMO he's already run through his 15 minutes of fame. The blatant sexism is not going to fly with shoe companies and networks as women buy shoes too.
