I'm sure you've heard about the study that some dumbass did that showed that the refs in the NBA are racist. I think this guy summed it up pretty well.
"You can, if you choose to believe the study's statistics, notice a difference. But to see it, you need to look at and accept small fractions and bring absolutely no understanding of how those numbers apply to basketball. "
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Not that I like refs...
ref lover
yah, that study was lame. They got all their information by going over old box scores. You can't even tell which ref called which call that way. Plus, the increase of fouls the study claims refs give to men of different races seems to be pretty much a negligible amount
