Racist Referees
Sports Buzz A new study shows white NBA refs are more likely to call fouls on black players than on their white teammates. The study isn’t actually calling the refs racist, but says that they’re motivated by unconscious cognitive bias - that’s not racist, right? The NBA says the whole thing is phooey.
