Calling America “great” is apparently a flagrant foul in the WNBA.
ESPN basketball analyst Rebecca Lobo was essentially forced to eat her words after an off-the-cuff comment led to some awkward seconds of silence during a game between the Indiana Fever and the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday.
Not only did she backtrack on calling her own country “great,” she actually apologized afterward. And the public backlash has been scathing.
As Fox News reported, the embarrassing incident occurred when Lobo took issue with a foul call issued by officials in the closing minute of the contest.
You have to see it to believe it.
