Been Trying to Tell Ya:
Study Shows Signs of Favortism in NBA

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/02/sports/basketball/02refs.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

The New York Times, and the Associated Press, reported that a team of Ivy Leaguers conducted a study in which they concluded that there is a race bias in the refereeing of NBA games. Nice work guys, addressing race in the NBA is interesting and a totally valid point for conversation. But, my question is, with all the diversity and different ethnicities represented in the game does the NBA have a race problem or an image problem? Did the NBA have a race problem before this article came out? I'd love to hear from anyone who might be reading.
