Does anybody think that if Mark Davis or any other male referee was released by the NBA we'd be having this conversation?

I'm sure Dee is a good offical, she must of been to be working at that level of ball. Let's face it though, if you're supervisor's don't think you're up to the job then they'll show you the door. I'm sorry that Dee lost her job in the NBA, but I really cannot believe Rush and Jackson would release an official due to gender. If in the powers-that-be's opinion she wasn't up for the job, then yes she should have been released.

I'm all for gender equality, whether it be in the Fire Department, Military or the NBA but the bottom line is, you've got to be able to do the job. Obviously in the eyes of Mr. Rush and Mr. Jackson, Dee wasn't.
