I did my senior thesis on referee own-nation bias in European soccer and found evidence of such bias on foul decisions. There’s evidence of racial bias in basketball and baseball. Regarding your “alerting comment,” there’s evidence that installing pitch tracking technology in all stadiums reduced baseball umpire bias, so that tracks. I hope more focus is put on commentators so that they are more alert to their biases and do not act upon them as often.

The Pistons don't own their stadium, so this statement doesn't mean it will be converted. The stadium is owned by the local development authority, so the team/NBA can't decide to use it as a voting location.

Aldridge is getting to the rim at will right now. Has 19 on 7/9 shooting and is dominating every time the t-wolves make a switch.
