Huh I wonder why the refs suck so much in the W. Oh wait they get paid poorly and once they're good enough they "advance" to the MNBA to reach the "pinnacle of their profession".

If the WNBA is a stepping stone for aspiring NBA officials, we have a problem.

The WNBA wants to bill itself as the best women's basketball league in the world. It should also want the best officials in the world.

Then again, WNBA officials are not full-time employees like the NBA...

I don’t know why but I’m headed downtown for a matinee show and I’m super self conscious about wearing my mask. Last December I went, unmasked and got a nasty flu so I’m not taking that chance again.
