That's Mighty White of You

White Promoter Pushes For All-White Basketball League
By News One

From BET.com:

A Georgia boxing and wrestling promoter is establishing an all-White basketball league, saying it’s time to restore “sanity” and “fundamentals” to a game that has been hijacked by undisciplined thugs.

“It has come to the attention of the principals of the (All-American Basketball Alliance) that [W]hite basketball players are essentially ’shut out’ of conventional professional basketball due to the proliferation of non-organized play on the court,” said promoter Don “Moose” Lewis in a news release, ironically, issued on Martin Luther King Day. “With players on other professional teams carrying guns, attacking fans in the stands, and going through the motions of playing the game, fundamentally sound [W]hite players are a vanishing species.

“Fans have spoken to the AABA asking to restore on court sanity to the game of basketball. Their pleas are our mission. Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league.”

In an interview with Scott Michaux of The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, Lewis rejected the notion that his new league has anything to do with racism. He said it’s more about restoring the game to the way it was before it was saturated with African Americans.

Its pretty obvious that "Moose" Lewis is just a disgusting racist. I would easily agree that the fundamentals of basketball have been hijacked but they've been hijacked by the league itself who eschewed intelligent play so it could promote the league's best scorers (some of whom are white) and keep fans watching. White people can't blame blacks for the shortcomings of basketball any more than blacks can blame white people for Vanilla Ice or Eminem. And if "Moose" Lewis needs any more proof that his claims are ridiculous I give him Exhibit A and Exhibit B.




If those two aren't the epitomy of undisciplined thugs I'm not sure who is.
