Ralph Nadar

["Dorine Pratt" <norine@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I just heard on the radio that Ralph Nadar has gone after the NBA for the
officiating of the Laker/Kings game that gave the game to the Lakers - the
specific issue the obvious foul by Kobie Bryant on Bibby - the elbow to the
nose.  We all saw that, but the officials ignored it, of course. I've
personally written to the NBA twice this past season about the officiating
and asked them to retrain all the officials and demand accounting from them,
that I've never seen it so bad.  At least now it's getting national
attention.

I don't know if the NBA wants a certain team to win - I guess these days
it's easy to believe that corruption exists - but I do know that calls are
made on some teams that never happened, over and over again, and vice versa.
I love pro basketball and whatever's wrong I hope they fix it.  Maybe this
public exposure will do the trick - one can only hope!
