Study: NBA referees’ whistles not entirely colorblind

"Economists Joe Price of Brigham Young University and Justin Wolfers of the University of Pennsylvania found that players get called for 4 percent fewer fouls by officials of their same race."

I am not convinced of this because there are so many mitigating factors, and if there is only "4% racial bias," then I think we are doing quite well. Most researchers accept a +-5% error in their stats anyway, so I think it's safe to say that there is essentially no racial bias in NBA refereeing.

What really needs to be studied is if there is star-power bias in the NBA. That is, do star players get called for fewer fouls than do lesser players? I am convinced that there is star-power bias. Many game announcers suggest that there is and I perceive the same in the games that I watch. The star-power bias is the main reason I don't much care for NBA basketball.

It reads like Science Fiction

If you ever wondered like me why Iran was simply allowed to thumb it's nose at the IEAE and other western nations, this article seems to explain it. Super secret stuff was going on, and I doubt the article covers everything. I know some of you are allergic to Fox News, but it's a fascinating read anyway!

Another article here describes the James Bond type of stuff going on.
