Legendary women's basketball star and ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo recounted a disheartening instance of sexism that she shared with fans on social media.
"Something happened to me that's never happened before," Lobo said while beginning her story.
Lobo says she was coaching her 15-year-old son's AAU team and one of her players was knocked down. Naturally, she reacted, yelling "That's a foul!" which drew a technical foul from one official. Nothing out of the ordinary there. But then, Lobo said, the other referee approached her.
"So as the kid on the other team is shooting a free throw, the other ref came over and said, 'Your kid slipped,'" Lobo said.
