Do you ever notice that the one thing every fan at a basketball game can agree on is that the officiating is horrible? Only trouble is, both teams think the officiating favors the OTHER team. How can that be? Must be our vantage point. From where I sit, I can clearly see each time someone fouls my team and doesn’t get the call. And from the yelling all around me, I know my fellow fans see it too. But I am blissfully unaware when the same happens to the opposing team. When I hear the other side of the stands protest, I wonder what all the fuss is about. Hmmm. It must be that I have selective blindness. I appear to be in good company – everyone else in the stands suffers from it, too.
