It'd be nice to see the actual methodology.  Did they compare home-and-
homes, where at least you have the same teams playing in fairly quick
succession?  Maybe black players commit fouls at a higher rate; there's
a noticeable difference in how black and white players play the game.
(Not saying where that comes from--just noting that it exists.)

Also not saying the study's wrong, but these things often have pretty
poor methodology.
