Super Bowl Referee

He's a great ref, and it's a great accomplishment.

Is it really bad to observe that, for complicated reasons, we still unfortunately live in a world where young african americans need more positive role models? Color blindness is the goal, but we're not there yet. This gets us closer. Seeing a black man rise to the absolute peak of his extremely competitive profession is a good thing worth celebrating.

I'd really like to know which he is. African? Or American? Has he ever been to Africa even? Anyone know?
