I Have Solved the Mystery of the NBA Official’s Racial Bias
You see, a strong outlier can affect the outcomes of any statistical analysis. Having observed the officials’ treatment of Rasheed Wallace in the Bulls-Pistons series I have come to one simple conclusion: the NBA officials don’t call a disproportionate amount of fouls on black players, they call a disproportionate amount of fouls on Rasheed Wallace, who is black. Everything else is equal, the grey-shirts just have it in for Sheed. NBA officials also have an apparent bias for players who appear as if they may be homeless. Which brings me to my next point: hey refs, Pistons moved on anyways, don’t screw them in the NBA finals again.

Obviously Albert, you got into someones head with this. ‘Sheed punches someone in the face to get a wide open go ahead shot. No Foul. Pistons screwed? Go have a few more shots before you write again. Would you rather get screwed in opening round and win to get all calls in your favor in the Conference Finals? If so, you got it. Racism is an overrated and outdated topic, find something new chump.

Hey, racism is the best to write about, you can accuse anyone of being racist for saying almost anything. (Like you, for saying that racism is overrated, that’s something a racist would say. Racist.) Let’s not blame the writing of racism for this one.
Let’s blame the real culprit, Varejao’s consistent flopping. Since Varejao falls to the ground like that all the time, how are refs supposed to know if it’s a foul or not?
