The NBA Is a Microcosm, an Odd Microcosm

The nba set out to reff the game more objectively. This has enraged the stars in their fans and coaches. Objective rafts eliminate some of their privilege. The stars can't get the calls any more just because they're stars, or anyway not as often. But what happens where there are no replay centers? And when you have a weak referee, you have a big problem. A weak referee is a referee who can be bought or intimidated or just simply ignored.
