In basketball, fans have seen referees sometimes make incorrect calls against players over the years. One such instance happened in the WNBA, where the Phoenix Mercury suffered a 70-84 defeat against the New York Liberty. After the game, Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner raised concerns about the referees and their calls during the game.
As the WNBA playoffs approach, the competition is intensifying. All the stars are fighting hard to secure playoff spots for their teams. Following the controversial game, Griner expressed her disappointment with the referee calls and highlighted the increasing prevalence of poor officiating. Her teammate Natasha Cloud also criticized the recent officiating and emphasized that the league needs to address this ongoing issue.
We got to be professional. People aren’t perfect, and you’re going to boil over. But we also know that you can’t give them more things to call against us and put them on the line. As much as it stings and it hurts, we have to lock in.
