Chris Paul ejected in return to Phoenix
Paul got into a heated exchange with referee Scott Foster late in the first half and picked up two technical fouls.
I’m far from a Chris Paul fan but Foster is a terrible ref and shouldn’t be in the league. The reffing situations this year has been terrible to start, I know Jokic and Giannis have been ejected on some really weak stuff too.
Like the league wants the players to take the regular season seriously and show emotion but then lets refs toss them when they do that.

Agree, but CP is as much a part of this problem as Foster is. At this point CP is basically baiting him into dishing out techs and this time Foster bit. There's no debate that CP deserved the first tech and if CP had just STFU, there never would have been another, but when you keep pointing and cussing at the ref after he tells you to stop this is what happens.
Refs take too much shit in basically every sport except rugby.
mic the refs up... just like rugby
I think that's a pretty fair take. I do think players should be given more grace than refs though; players have adrenaline pumping and are more likely to act out because of that, but the refs should mostly remain professional. Obviously that doesn't mean they should be demeaned or take inappropriate shit from players, but they should be able to keep their professionalism and composure when players chirp at them.
