Not looking for a debate on whether he is right or not, but what do you think about this as officials?

Bird's Comments

Jmo, but from an official's standpoint, there's no story here and nothing to think about. Race, creed, religion, etc. hasn't got anything to do with us. Or shouldn't have anything to do with us, to be a little cynical. Officials should stear completely away from these debates. If you want to give an opinion, it should be as an individual, and not as an official. There should never be any other stance taken by an official other than "all players, coaches, etc. are created equal, and will be treated as such".
