NBA referees are salaried employees of the league. WNBA referees are paid by the game and generally work college games in the winter. The NBA issues a Last Two Minute report and has off-site replay review. The WNBA has neither. On a structural issue:

Much like the Dodgers and Japan, the White Sox hope to take over Vatican City. A game in Rome? A Vatican City Connect jersey? “A throw harder than the Pope competition”? All on the table as they look to capitalize on their newest celeb fan, Leo XIV: https://t.co/bZvnach62Y

God may not be a White Sox fan, but Pope Leo XIV is. And the team is hoping it can take advantage of a sudden international opportunity—real or not.
