I suppose this may be an issue for some people out in the world. Is there protocol in other parts of the officiating world? Non-white officials not wanting to call home team "White"?
First I have ever heard of something like that. I'm color-blind. I like when teams have black uni's. Teams with dark red or burgandy get called "black" by me.
