The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Not a good look for the clippers after the whole thing that happened last year. That being said.... Would ya?
BillsFanM.D. Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Clippers lead the league in technical fouls. I think introspection might be a better option for them.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Clippers lead the league in technical fouls. I think introspection might be a better option for them. This. I bet all this "the other refs agreed with me" stuff is nonsense too.
plenzmd1 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Would ya? Oh hell to the yea as they say...wish i knew how to imbed a photos..just google Lauren Holtcamp image...wowser BTW, i think what CP said was so innocuous...so cause she is a women ref she cant be criticized? That would be sexist. My gut he was talking about being a bit more thick skinned during games l...her be a rookie ref and all. Now, back to finding more pictures of her
NoSaint Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Weird spot for the league- saw the comments and didn't even register that he was possibly implying she couldn't hack it because she was female initially but espn really harping on him say "her" at the end. Wonder what is preferred when criticizing a ref who happens to be female? Edited February 6, 2015 by NoSaint
CountryCletus Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Apparently "B word please" isn't an appropriate reaction to a foul.... Who knew...

Wonder what is preferred when criticizing a red who happens to be female? All communists should be treated equally regardless of sex.
DC Tom Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Weird spot for the league- saw the comments and didn't even register that he was possibly implying she couldn't hack it because she was female initially but espn really harping on him say "her" at the end. Wonder what is preferred when criticizing a red who happens to be female? He just couldn't win. Referring to her as "her" is sexist, because you're recognizing her gender. Referring to her as "him" is more sexist, because you're not recognizing that women can be refs. Using the colloquially accepted gender-neutral "they" is even MORE sexist, because people will interpret that as referring to ALL women. Referring to her as "this person" is sexist, because it's demeaning to NOT recognize her gender. He'd have been better off saying "!@#$ you, B word," and left it at that. Because while it's rude and uncalled for, at least it's not sexist.
ricojes Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) ok, so i didn't read all the details, but the post reads: Chris Paul complains about NBA female referees Did he complain about all female referees in the NBA (I think there are only 2, but don't follow that closely) or just the one the T'd him up? Edited February 6, 2015 by ricojes
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Paul shouldn't be complaining about any refs. That's what got him into trouble. Apparently, unlike the NFL, NBA players get to whine about the officiating after the games without any fines?
Maury Ballstein Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) the men refs are just as bad so Chris Paul has no point here. His team sucks and he is melting down. Cleveland blew them out and they were all salty. State Farm agent Cliff Paul can't be pleased. Edited February 7, 2015 by Ryan L Billz
