N.B.A.
CLAIMS OF PREJUDICE
A STUDY BY THE U. OF P. AND CORNELL IS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED. IT CLAIMS THAT WHITE REFEREES CALLED FOULS AT A GREATER RATE AGAINST BLACK PLAYERS THAN WHITE PLAYERS.
WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THIS ACCUSATION, MANY NBA OFFICIALS WERE STUNNED TO LEARN THAT TOKEN PLAYERS STILL EXISTED.
THEY HAVE INITIATED THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION. IF THESE CLAIMS PROVE TO BE TRUE, THE REFEREES INVOLVED WILL BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY.
THE REF'S DENY THE CLAIM. THEY SAY THAT IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO CALL A FOWL BECAUSE THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY KNEES THAT OBSTRUCT THEIR VISION, AND THE FEAR OF BEING TRAMPLED IS OVERWHELMING.
THE UNION THAT REPRESENTS THE REFEREES WILL INTRODUCE A NEW DEMAND IN THE NEXT CONTRACT NEGOTIATION. REFEREES WILL BE ISSUED POGO STICKS IN ORDER TO SEE ALL PARTICIPANTS IN THE GAME.
