| Proof that Joey Crawford is a racist...
ESPN.com - NBA - Report: White refs call more fouls on black players
Maybe this explains his attitude towards Tim Duncan. 
Three things to take way from this...
1. What goes through a person's mind to even come up with a study like this?
2. Who actually gave this study the greenlight and approved it?
3. This story was reported in the New York Times. How much more credibility do they have left to lose?  |

| In other news, A study has found that NFL qb's tend to throw more TD passes to black WR's than white WR's. | |

| Has anyone thought the league is probably 3/4% black? Wouldn't that cause more fouls on black players?!?! The media is making a mountain out of a mole hill as usual. But they did talk to professors.... | |

Why did the NYT even print this is my question. | |

Why did the NYT even print this is my question. | like it or not it is news. as a newspaper, it is their duty to report it. it doesn't make them any less credible, as far as i can tell they aren't reporting it as absolute truth, only reporting on the study itself.

But they did talk to professors.... | Charles Barkley's comments were good. He called whoever did the study a jackass and common sense would dictate that since the large majority of NBA players are black, that there would be more fouls called on black players | |
