Duck - If we kept stats you know what would happen. Stud boy player A looks at the stats at the end of the year and sees that he had 11% more fouls called against him than anyone else in his league, conf. etc. Will he say, "oh, that must mean I hack too much" or " It's a conspiracy, the refs don't want to see succeed"?
Any one who guesses number two would be correct.
And, for Impar, who has the closed mind? I made the effort to show you both side of the story. If you choose to ignore viewpoints other than your own, be my guest, just don't come into our house and start dumping. By any chance were you a co-author or just a follower of that shameful, UofM study that officials are gamblers, and therefore are biased?
I find it increasingly funny that outsiders are making broad, sweeping, negative accusations against officials as a whole, and then have no proof to back themselves up with. When we dismiss the claims (becuase they are not true), we get accused of hiding something! Last time I checked the majority of us lived in the USA. Until you can prove me guilty...get off my back.
