is the URL for an article which states that white refs call fouls more often against black players, (and that's the headline) and black refs call fouls more often against white players (but of course that's not in the headline.)
The NBA is disputing this, but I'd say that any basketball fan can dispute this. For one thing, most basketball players are black...so gee, I think more fouls would be called on black players than on white players.
When Shaquille was *the* name, ever watch a white center try to guard him? From Luc Longley of the Bulls to Arvydas Sabonis of the Trailblazers, they'd be standing straight up with arms extended, Shaquille would shove them out of the way - they'd be called for the foul.
In other words - superstar athletes always get the call vs rookies - yet I've yet to see a study about that.
