The unwillingness to answer questions is a longstanding problem with PRO, feeding into I think the overall frustration/resentment from both fans and media. There's just never a sense if they even care about the standard of refereeing in NWSL. https://twitter.com/JeffKassouf/status/1284522390941310977

There's no sense that there's any thought given to developing female referees, or that there's any kind of review/learning process. If these things exist, PRO should be trumpeting them. They're making a 101 mistake: in an info vacuum, fans will fill it with assumptions, often bad

IMO if PRO were more transparent, people would give them more slack, not less. I do think there's a problem where we expect refs to be 100% correct every time instead of seeing it as someone doing a job and sometimes making mistakes. But you gotta admit to the mistakes.
