But Reese appears to think that it’s worth it.
The Chicago Sky star made it clear that she was going to call out the WNBA’s officials until things get better.
Reese, though, is hardly the first notable WNBA figure to call out the league. Indiana Fever head coach Stephnaie White blasted the league’s officials earlier this year.
White was bothered by how the officials handled a Fever vs. Sun game.
“When the officials don’t get control of the ballgame, and they allow that stuff to happen … this is what happens,” White told the media.
“You’ve got competitive women, who are the best in the world at what they do, right? And when you allow them to play physical, and you allow these things to happen, they’re going to compete. And they’re going to have their teammates’ backs. It’s exactly what you’d expect ― right? ― out of fierce competition … I started talking to the officials in the first quarter, and we knew this was gonna happen.”
