The “Whistleblower” podcast begins with a truism about most competitive sporting events: “Referees are supposed to be invisible. You shouldn’t know their names.” This podcast, created by Atlanta-based Tenderfoot TV, hones in on NBA referee Tim Donaghy, who became headline news, pleading guilty in 2007 to two federal charges of gambling on games he officiated and spending 13 months in prison. Quote “We’re going to analyze specific games, specific characters” in future episodes, [LA journalist and 'Whistleblower' podcast producer Tim] Livingston said. “Do these games prove something systematically wrong or are they just badly refereed games? I hope it’s compelling.” He hinted that other referees may be named, though that is not the case in the first two episodes Tenderfoot provided for a preview. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
