Sorry, I wasn't intending it to be a discourse on the validity of non-officials' views on officiating or of anyone knowing their place in the world.
My point was - "Why should there be two sets of rules, one for 'star' players and one for the rank and file?"
Swoopes (and she's not the only one) seems to think that as a veteran player, a name player, if there's contact, she should get the call to go her way more often, especially if it's against a 'no-name' player. I'm sure there are men who feel this way, too.
So I'm just wondering - why should that be? Shouldn't a foul be a foul, whether it's Sheryl Swoopes or Tracy McGrady or Joe Blow on either end?
