Chris Paul goes off on rookie female ref

[djohn2oo8]

CLEVELAND -- The Los Angeles Clippers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lac/los-angeles-clippers) will be the first to admit that technical fouls didn't costhttp://cdncache1-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png (http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/12287430/chris-paul-los-angeles-clippers-frustrated-techs-female-rookie-ref-not-her?ex_cid=sportscenterFB#) them in their 105-94 loss (http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=400579035) to the Cleveland Cavaliers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/cle/cleveland-cavaliers) on Thursday night, but after the game, they still were fuming about being T'd up five times.


"I think we have to show better composure, but at the same time some of [the technical fouls] were ridiculous," Chris Paul (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2779/chris-paul) said. "The tech that I get right there was ridiculous. I don't care what nobody says, I don't care what she says; that's terrible. There's no way that can be a tech. We try to get the ball out fast every time down the court, and when we did that, she said, 'Uh-uh.' I said, 'Why, uh-uh?' And she gave me a tech."

Paul's technical came with 10:17 left in the second quarter when he tried to get the inbounds pass quickly but instead was T'd up after questioning Lauren Holtkamp, who became the third woman to referee NBA games full time this season.

"That's ridiculous," Paul said. "If that's the case, this might not be for her."

Holtkamp also gave DeAndre Jordan (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3442/deandre-jordan) a technical foul with 9:30 left in the third quarter after screaming for a foul following a dunk.

Translation: "I think we have to show better composure, but instead, I'm going to continue to whine and carry on like a fucking 2-year-old even though the game's over now."

Trade this overpaid bum already!

[Chris]

He shouldn't have said "this might not be for her". That's going to piss a lot of people off and probably levy a large fine.

I called ass on this guy first. Me. Yep, yer old dad. I called ass on him. I called ass on Howard, first.

He'll get suspended for 1 game for this due to the outrage by the PC police.

He deserves everything he gets for those comments. Chris Paul is such a fucking clown.

The only people who will actually get pissed at that part is the batshit feminists and other libtards who think any criticism of a woman is sexist.

[Nathan89]

Technical fouls for reactions are way to strong of a penalty. Can't just give free points away for bullshit. That power just gives the refs another way to fuck the outcome of a game. Instead of giving away free points the nba should extend the shot clock time of the opponent.

[Donkeybong]

She's a shitty ref, female or not. I hate the clippers, but the amount of techs she was calling was out of control. Must have been on the rag.

[Strange Love]

She was trying to compensate for being a female, not to say rookie ref. Reasserting herself as the one with the power by Teching them up off set.

I'd totally smash her. Rumor has it she and Becky troll bars for large dicked men for threeways when she refs Spurs games

[hater]

yup once you bring women to the league you also bring all their drama

it's already happened to the spurs coaching staff tbh

[MultiTroll]

Barnes tech for intentionally holding the arm was a bullshit call.

Same with Jordans cussing after the dunk.

Paul, we probably won't know what that pussy said to her.

[D-Wade]

Eh power trip. Paul should have kept his cool when asked about it, and not resorted to "this might not be for her." But other than that, lame techs and also shame on Reggie and Barkley (two of the most hotheaded players in NBA history) for justifying it. The one with DJ, he was likely pumping himself up. Instead Reggie says he was obviously taunting the ref when there was no evidence of that at all.

[ChumpDumper]

CP3 done fucked up. Even if he is probably right, there's no way the womens don't scream out sexism.

Would be hilarious if he got suspended. :lol

[Bynumite]

CPFlop is right. Get that slut back in the kitchen tbh. Seriously, why do they always try to infiltrate male sports with their bullshit? Don't they have the WNBA? I know it's shit but go support that. Typical attention whore trying to make the game about her.

She only called 2 of the 5 techs the Clippers got.

[Mr Bones]

The Clippers were getting their asses kicked by Cleveland... they can talk about the refs all they want, but the simple fact of the matter is they were getting their asses kicked fair and square, and that's what was pissing them off.

[Uriel]

I find it ironic that Paul is being labeled "sexist" for criticising her, when in actuality, the people who hold her to such low expectations in the first place are the ones who are being bigoted.

[InRareForm]

You would think after seeing the comments this game would be a one point game or something. It was a blowout lol

[D-Wade]

Anyone know the last time an NBA player who has said "this might not be for her/him?" Sure you could make the argument that it's a shot at how new the ref is, but if we haven't heard this kind of talk before, it's a gender thing.

[Venti Quattro]

I'm okay with the equality things since I think I'm pretty fair to most people, but what pisses me off is how the feminazis make it all about them even with the slightest hint of inequality.

"OMG MEN ARE PIGS THEY WANT EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM!!"

"FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS, WOMEN!!!"

"MEN, STOP OBJECTIFYING WOMEN!!!"

"IT IS OUR VAGINA AND IT IS OUR CHOICE!!!!!"

"MEN WHO DISAGREE WITH FEMINISM ARE FAT VIRGINS!!!!"

"DON'T TEACH GIRLS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES, TEACH THE MEN NOT TO RAPE!!!!!!"

"WE NEED MORE WOMEN IN MANAGERIAL POSITIONS EVEN IF IT'S NOT MERIT-BASED!!!!"

Get laid or something you stupid pussy holders.

And by the way, feminism used to mean something. It used to mean that women would get equal treatment as men. It meant more opportunities for women to shine and show what their worth is in the world. Now it's just a hollow word that manly-looking lesbians use to make themselves feel good. It just means trying to take everything from men without having to suffer for any consequences.

[ploto]

As a woman, I totally agree. What - can you not criticize the ref because she is a woman? That is sexist. What pronoun was he supposed to use to refer to HER? And then you have the ref association getting all offended like she cannot take it. That is sexist, too. The NBA should handle it like any player criticizing any ref and nothing more. The whole point is supposed to be that she is no different. She should have put on her Big Girl panties and said that this is not the first nor will it be the last time that a player does not agree with her call. By her being quiet and letting everyone else fight for her, SHE is perpetuating the stereotype.

Tbh how often do players criticize refs? I didn't hear any complaints from CP0 after getting screwed by the refs vs OKC last year.

Bingo.

As bad as a ref may be I don't think I've ever heard any player or coach imply that said ref had chosen the wrong career path. I hate feminists with a passion but it really sounds like he said those comments because of her gender. The funny thing is Bitch Paul was having a fit because the Cavs were shitting on them all game long, what a bitch that guy is.

[Clipper Nation]

He was fined $25K, no different than if he had complained about a male ref.

[ElNono]

NEW YORK (AP) — Clippers guard Chris Paul has been fined $25,000 for criticizing an official after Los Angeles lost 105-94 to Cleveland.

The penalty is in line with others the NBA has levied for being critical of officials. Paul was given a technical by Lauren Holtkamp on Thursday night and afterward said the call was "ridiculous" and seemed to imply that one of the NBA's two female officials may have been in over her head, saying "this might not be for her."

Paul later clarified that he was only upset with the call made by Holtkamp, who is in her first full season as an NBA ref.

The call happened when two Clippers players were inbounding the ball. Paul appeared to say something to Holtkamp and was assessed with a technical.

[AaronY]

Well we know what might not be for Chris. The playoffs.
