“If I were a ref, I know I would spoil myself all the time. Like, I’m not saying that your work is easy, but when it’s a simple call in front of your face several times, what are you doing? What are you doing?
They are so incoherent, as it is one thing. If you are on the other team, and you are going to be wrong, cool. But let me do it.
I think that the league players and new fans across the country are like, what happens with the referees? And I say to myself: “I don’t know”. And you have inflicted me at $ 500 will not be s ***. “”
Tuesday, Cunningham explained the fines in the league after revealing that it was penalized for its comments.
