Petition Started To Remove Referee Scott Foster From NBA

Nearly 2,000 fans have signed a petition on Change.org to remove Scott Foster from his NBA officiating duties

Scott Foster is arguably the most scrutinized referee in the NBA. 

He has mostly drawn the ire from Miami Heat fans who believe he is against their team. It's gotten so bad a petition was created on the website Change.org to have Foster removed from the NBA. 

 We mean no harm or threats to the man and his family but his unprofessionalism and hubris can no longer go unnoticed," the petition read. "It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks as he’s been doing this for years."

The Heat have lost 12 of the last 13 in games officiated by Foster, including 10 straight. He is set to referee tonight's Game 6 against the New York Knicks. The Heat are 4-0 at home during this postseason but now have to prove they can win with their nemesis on the court.
