NBA officiating bias?????
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18428228/
"But the key finding was in regard to foul calls, saying “black players receive around 0.12-0.20 more fouls per 48 minutes played (an increase of 2½-4½ percent) when the number of white referees officiating a game increases from zero to three.”
These idiots get paid to do these studies????? You gotta be kidding me.

Re: NBA officiating bias?????
AGENDA!!!
Without watching the games you have no idea of the context of the fouls. Were the fouls Hack-a-Shaq type fouls, were they 4th quarter end of the game fouls, were they specifically designed defensive play fouls? Also, is the author of the "study" receiving funds from a specific group with less than savory motives?
And anyone else notice that most of the players on the floor at any given time are black? That's has to skew the numbers a bit.

I have more pleasure mowing my lawn than to endure a game of basketball.

Just curious since I don't watch pro basketball, but what's the percentage of white players vs black players? If there are more black players, then they should be called on fouls more often, right?
