White basketball?

Apparently there word of creating a ‘whites-only’ basketball league. Besides setting us back a hundred year, I thought there already was a white alternative called basketball. “Toss me the rock, Jerry.”

Anyways, here’s an excerpt from ThinkProgress.com

A new professional basketball league called the All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA) sent out a press release on Sunday saying that it intends to start its inaugural season in June, with teams in 12 U.S. cities. However, the AABA is different from other sports leagues because only players who are “natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league.” AABA commissioner Don “Moose” Lewis insists that he’s not racist, but he just wants to get away from the “street-ball” played by “people of color” and back to “fundamental basketball.” Lewis cited the recent incidents of bad behavior by NBA players, implying that such actions would never happen with white players:

This is related to my post below in video games. A Chinese businessman went to a local PC cafe to play computer games after a dispute with his wife. He was there for FOUR DAYS before reporting to the hospital that he could not SEE.

Haha. Now that’s dedication.
