See Mehmet Okur and Steve Nash. Seems as though there might be a trend.

One example does not make a trend.

This year that would appear to be so. Trend? I don't think so. It has not been true in most playoff years. Considering the amount of black players in comparison to white players, it appears that the majority of flagrant fouls in most years is black on black.

Ummm... no. Most flagrant fouls have been people flagrantly fouling another player. I'm so sick of race being brought into everything. Its like "oh, we haven't had a racist incident in a while so lets construct one." If race shouldn't matter why doesn't everybody just drop it then? I think the only racist people are people that bring race up all the time.

I think anyone that knees someone in the nuts deserves a flagrant foul and gets some Man Points taken away for doing such a thing, regardless of race

black players commit more flagrant fouls only because there are 10 times more black players than white players in the NBA. They foul other black players just as much as they do white players however

No. Take a look at Raja Bell decking Kobe Bryant. Was that last year or this year? Either way there are a lot more black players than white ones so if black players seem to be involved in these incidents more, it makes sense. They are outnumbering white guys by far. I don't think race has much to do with it.

How about the flagrant foul against Derek Fisher?

I think you're on to something. I'm so sick of the Justin Wolfers (the Assistant Professor of Economics from Penn who conducted a study concluding NBA referees are racist) of the world having an agenda against whites. I'd love to see studies about the opposite.

there are more black players then white players so i would have to say no.
just like that dumb poll that white refs call more fouls on black players then they do on white players............um duh! thats like saying more white players in hockey get in fights on the ice then black players
and to prove your point wrong that nugget-knicks fight the foul was two black players. (i know thats wasnt in playoffs)
derek fisher just got rocked by baron
the fact is hard fouls come more in the playoffs because its the playoffs, and okur(the game was done with) shouldn't have drove in to dunk, i mean everyone who watched that game saw that coming except for okur.
but you can say more flagrant fouls have been in the 4th quarter over any period.

You might be right about that because real statisticians have data that supports this claim, where as the NBA denies it all together.
You should read that Justin Wolfers and Joseph Price's report and read the scientific reviews of it, not the NBA's assessment of it.

in an Asian basketball league, do more Asians get fouls called as opposed to a white player? Think about the league and what race dominates it! Use your brain!
