Fans can interact with NBA refs during games


Are they fucking high?

Like the refs don't get blamed enough for everything ...now they have to see their own meme's on Twitter in "real time" ?


Oh this should be good.

It’s not the actual refs on the court.

Ok, so this is what they will get.



"He bonehead, get off twitter and go help your boys on the court because they are freaking blind"

"PS That was a bullshit call you made the other night in Sacramento"

I think it is a pretty cool idea.

I would imagine that the NBA has a bunch of filters in place before a single person reads any of the Tweets and then they have handlers that will look for valid questions for the refs to answer.

Once again, the NBA shows that they understand social media far better than any other league.
