I know here fans pay alot of attention to the race of the officials unfortuantly. Our chapter president told me one time after an all black crew worked two predominantly white schools district match that this was the first time that had probably happend and that they do have request from coaches depending on whos playing who, etc. Still in this day and age. And its mostly the guys who have been around for a while. The younger coaches dont care, they just want good officials. I learned how easy it is to be profiled this weekend when working with two white co-officils -or two black co-officials - two women co-officials. Fans will use anything against you if they feel like your screwing them.
