"I don’t give a damn if I get fined": Angel Reese expresses her displeasure with WNBA officiating
Angel Reese expressed her displeasure with the league's referees after her team's 80-75 loss against the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday:
"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.
The Lynx went to the charity line 17 times on Sunday's game while the Sky were awarded only eight chances at free points. The quality of refereeing in the WNBA has been a big topic of debate in the community, especially relating to consistency.
While some coaches have raised their voices against these issues, the players have mostly remained silent to avoid fines from the league.
