Political correctness has sunk to a new low. James Lambert reports that now even sports referees are starting to worry about hurting the losing team's feelings.

While attending his team's first basketball game after the Christmas holiday, I noticed that the referee disallowed a number of baskets in the fourth quarter of the game. Also, on numerous occasions, when my son's team should have been given possession of the ball, the referee decided to turn the ball over to the opposing team because the score was, in his opinion, "too lopsided."
