Default Bias among referees

New report states that refs make foul calls according to race. Although no one seems to be out supporting the study, the NBA has been very secretive about its own studies on the subject.....makes one wonder.

Yes, The NBA has really been quiet about it. Makes you wonder what the true story is.

Almost a month has gone by since the NY Times published the article. The first few days there was a lot of talk about its validity and why the NBA was so quiet and secretive. Since then everythings seems to have calmed down.

You cannot help but wonder why the NBA was so quiet it about it. It is almost like it has been swept under the rug.

That is true - but the media also dismissed the report immediately. I don't think there is an ESPN/NBA conspiracy. I have a feeling that if there was really an issue then the media would have hopped in the opportunity to present it.
