Each State Finals weekend there are 12 officials picked. There was not on African-American or woman picked for the 1A-2A Finals. And both classes had 2 schools that were entirely African-American in nature. Also, look what happened in the 2A title game and all the controversy. No one said a word about fairness when that happened.
Take it to the following weekend and there were 3 African-Americans and there was a big question if those 3 were qualified out of the 12. And multiple teams did not have a single white person on either team. Three teams were from Chicago. Two teams were from the southern part of the state and you could not get more than 3 African-Americans?
My point is we overanalyze the 3 and not the 9 that likely never see these kinds of teams or that type of ball on a regular basis, but the 3 were not qualified and we have to check the system?
