Gee, I wonder what a call for an all white league would be received?

Is Larry Johnson a Knick great? He’s no Earl Monrow.

Go ahead. See how much support you have. I have not been able to watch professional basketball for years. All they do is trade baskets and fight. The ‘worm’ has turned and it would seem that some famous blacks would rather segregate again. Obama has made race relations in this country SO MUCH WORSE!!

Bring it on, Larry. You can also set up franchises in the Caribbean and Africa.

The gyms will be packed with “you’re” people

Isn’t it already? You need a magnifying glass to even find a white guy on a basketball team

Without Western Civilization - including slavery - 98% of these whiners would be banging a drum in a mud hut in East Shithole, Nigeria.

Either get the F out or shut the F up.

Up until the 1940s...there were white teams and there were black teams.

I am not old enough to remember this so I had to “look it up”..

the guy who’s crowing about the need for a black league may not be very educated about his sport of choice.

Im sure he reads here...all the time...though...

Moron. It was considered a civil rights victory when that scenario was eliminated decades ago. Now it's the solution?

Well yeah, but that's because the white guy is two feet shorter than any of the black players! ;)

I hope he fights them.
