The man behind a controversial whites-only professional basketball league defended his position Thursday. Don "Moose" Lewis' proposed new league has one major requirement for participation. Players in the league must be Caucasian. Lewis said the league was far from racist.

"It's all white, U.S. citizens [who were born] white," said Lewis.

The Atlanta boxing and wrestling promoter said his All-American Basketball Alliance will have teams in several southern cities and start in June.

OK, I’ll be the first to say it:

We’re looking at final game scores like 12-8.

Be sure to have a playoff with an African American team. Expect to get your ass kicked.

So is the black caucus but they’re celebrated for their lack of diversity.

If white people want to be around other white people why not just let them be? I’m sure they’ll be harrassed and picketed. What is it libs say about changing the channel if you don’t like prime time soft porn? Well, if you don’t like it don’t buy a ticket.

Players in the league must be Caucasian. Lewis said the league was far from racist.
"It's all white, U.S. citizens [who were born] white," said Lewis....

The president of the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP said that type of nostalgia is exactly what the country doesn't need.
"We fought so long to be able to get African-Americans in the major sports, now to return to all white play is ridiculous," said Dr. R.L. White.

Hmmmm...., an all white league that isn't racist and a black NCAAP leader named White. This is all too delicious....

Silly idea.

All they have to do is argue for racial quotas and affirmative action.

That would ensure the NFL,NBA,etc, have the direct proportion of players according to race.

Meaning of course the NBA and NFL wouldn`t be 80% black anymore :-)

This is like the Affrmative Action bake sale where the prices were based on your skin color.

It's brilliant political theater.

All other groups (including blacks) have activities and/or contests that include only memmbers of that race, I see no problem with this.

This won’t get off the ground but it does demonstrate further the hypocrisy of race in this country

“We’re looking at final game scores like 12-8.”

Also, guess we will see the return of the Bob Cousy two handed set shot and the Rick Berry granny free shot. probably will wear those real short fruity looking shorts with the socks up to their knees. What a treat....

Better idea: Have an open league with a height restriction of 5’11”...
