In my opinion, it has nothing to do with him saying "her" vs. if it were a guy, "him" thing.  It's not a simple pronoun issue as Wilburn argues and others.  It has to do with the fact that he said it at all..."[I]maybe this isn't for her."

Here is my view, If the ref happened to be a man, Paul would've most certainly not have even made that comment that maybe this wasn't for [I]him[/I].  I imagine, by the time an individual, male or female, gets to that highest level of official/referee, etc., they've have spent many years to get there, a career milestone.  If it were a male, Paul may have said something along the lines that if this guy (rookie NBA ref) wants to stay at this level, he needs to improve upon his reactions to relatively harmless remarks, etc., but I doubt that he utters, [I]"maybe this[/I] (profession) [I]isn't for her" (him).

I also feel this thing (as typical today in the media, culture, etc.) is being blown out of proportion.  So much over sensitivity amongst us.
