Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is a true lover of sports. He
watches it all, from college and pro football to baseball and hockey,
where he especially can't get enough of the playoffs.

But there is one sport that he's starting to steer away from because it embodies the exact opposite of what pro wrestling is at its heart.

Scrutiny has found the NBA in recent years as resting players for "load management" on the court as well as players sitting out for injuries some believe should be played through doesn't sit well with "The Nature Boy."

"These basketball players that whine and b---h, it's taken a lot of the
sport away from me," Flair told Fox News Digital while promoting his new
energy drink, Wooooo! Energy.

The NBA used to be a league where the paint was an area you better be
ready to get bruised if you drove to the basket, and rivalries got
physical on a regular basis. Now, with safety becoming a priority in
every professional sport, the NBA has been calling many more technical
fouls for displays of aggression like that.

However, fans haven't liked the "ticky-tack fouls," or ones that are
borderline with players embellishing to get to the foul line for free
throws.
