But I agree, preventative measures can be taken when assigning officials to eliminate some of this.
HUH? Are you saying that RACE should be taken into consideration of who to assign to work a game and that a black ref is more suited to work an all black team and vice versa? If so, do you also buy into the notion that female refs should stick to the girl's game? PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS.
