“… it’s not a revelation that certain coaches and certain referees have issues, and certain players, and statistically you can see certain things happening. We all live with that. You cover the sport, or are with the sport enough to know … it happens.”

- David Stern

So you do know it happens. You’re not just blissfully ignorant.

So how many games does Joey Crawford get to ref against San Antonio this year? Why not just make it all of them. Surely you don’t want the Spurs back in the championship. Joey clearly doesn’t like Tim Duncan. Heck, you can give the other team a 1 ref advantage for all 82 games next year. Judging by the last game, you can eject Duncan every game!

So if you know a team has an unfair advantage going in based on the refs, you’re not giving the teams or the fans a fair game are you?

So you’ve knowingly deceived people into thinking that the games would be played fairly. You in fact knew that one team had an advantage based on issues between refs and players, etc.

Anybody else interested in a class action suit to get a refund on tickets to fraudulently represented competitions?
