Stupid study
May 2, 2007Blame it on a lot of free time. A recent study by two eggheads, a University of Pennsylvania professor and a Cornell University grad student, tried to prove a racial bias by the amount of fouls in the N.B.A. called on black players by white refs.
What a couple of losers. How about they try to prove the amount of time white ankle socks were worn by black players and how that differs from the amount of time black headbands were worn by white players.
They claim the difference in fouls "is large enough that the probability of a team winning is noticeably affected by the racial composition of the refereeing crew assigned to the game."
What a crock or crap.
How about they analyze the amount of male players in the league, affirmative action style, and compare it to an analysis of the amount of fouls women refs call on them. Or they could study the WNBA and see how many players have to sit for a woman taller than them.
I would really like to see that study.
