Per the report, here are the two authors of the survey. It's too bad that they didn't use a well-respected market research run by a football fan who wouldn't have approached the survey with an underlying motive.
Tukufu Zuberi is the Lasry Family Professor of Race Relations. He is also the
Director of the Center for Africana Studies, and Chair of Sociology Department.
As an internationally-known social scientist, Professor Zuberi has made
important contributions in the study of sociology, research methods, and
population studies. Professor Zuberi is the author or editor of seven books or
edited journal volumes. He is the author of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot: The
Mortality Cost of Colonizing Liberia in the Nineteenth-Century, published by the University of Chicago Press in 1995; and Thicker Than Blood: How Racial
Statistics Lie, published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2001. He has
just completed a manuscript on the history of Timbuktu, entitled Timbuktu: Pearl of the African Sea that will also be filmed as a documentary for PBS and National Geographic. He is the series editor of the General Demography of Africa (a multi-volume series). He has written more than 50 scholarly articles and co-edited four volumes. Professor Zuberi has edited or co-edited special issues of the December 2000 Black Scholar on “Transcending Traditions: African, African Diaspora, and African American Studies in the 21st Century;” the March 2000 issue of The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science on “The Study of African American Problems: Papers In Honor Of W.E.B.
