So the best way to avoid the appearance of racism is to engage is some ourselves?

An interesting theory.

How about we just move the best refs up, and ignore their "race" entirely?

Then two major plays occurred that determined the 2009 sectional champ. A 6-7, 240-pound Wayne athlete had a breakaway dunk with 10 seconds left on the clock. A Peru player ran and pushed him in the back. An intentional foul, two shots and the ball would have been the right call. The official called a common foul, a one-and-one situation. The official said he didn't want to impact the game.

But with 0.5 seconds left and Wayne leading 43-42, an official called a questionable foul on Wayne, claiming it was an easy call. That call changed the game and crowned Peru the champion. Congratulations to Peru, and good luck.
This is why our state says to NEVER talk to media. You never know how a comment can be used.
