Angel Reese expressed her frustration with WNBA's officiating
After suffering an 80-75 loss against the Minnesota Lynx on Monday, Angel Reese openly expressed her frustration with the WNBA's referees. In that game, the Lynx had visited the free throw line 17 time while the Sky were handed only eight opportunities of the same.
This left a bitter impression on the Sky forward who then explained that she was frustrated and tired of pleading her team's case to the officials who do no pay any heed to her words.
"I don’t give a damn if I get fined because that s** cheap, and I’m tired of this s*. I’ve been nice and I’ve been humble, but I’m tired of this s**," Reese said via The Athletic.
It was brave of Angel Reese to call out the league on their inconsistency in officiating games. The Sky star's statement can lead her into trouble with the league's authorities where she can receive a fine and in the worst case scenario, be suspended for a game.
However, the officiating problems in the WNBA have been a hot topic of debate in the community for a while. The fan, some coaches, and even a few players have expressed their displeasure over the referees in recent years.
