Basketball league for whites * Only*
Just a few weeks ago they were talking about wanting to being back racial profiling so that terrorism would be stopped. Although it sounds good on paper, once you open Pandora’s box, the profiling itself could create a lot of trouble.
So now they have come up with this bright new concept that they want a all white basketball league. That is correct a new professional basketball league boasting rosters made up exclusively of white Americans.
Now the name will be the All-American Basketball Alliance although would’nt it sound much better as the all white American Basketball Alliance?
“Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league,” the statement said.
Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver, who has publicly expressed his support for minor league teams in the past, said he would not do the same for this team.
“As a sports enthusiast, I have always supported bringing more sporting activities to Augusta,” he said. “However, in this instance I could not support in good conscience bringing in a team that did not fit with the spirit of inclusiveness that I, along with many others, have worked so hard to foster in our city.”
Clint Bryant, athletic director at Augusta State University, laughed when he heard the news.
“It’s so absurd, it’s funny, but it gives you an idea of the sickness of our society” he said. “It shows you what lengths people will go to just to be mean-spirited. I think at any basketball level, no matter if it’s all black, all white, all Hispanic, all Asian or anyone else, the players should just be a basketball team.”
Don “Moose” Lewis, the commissioner of the AABA, said the reasoning behind the league’s roster restrictions is not racism. Although I am sure that this commissioner is white and he sees nothing wrong with these ole boys just getting together to play a little white ball.
“There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing,” he said. “I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.”
Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of “street-ball” played by “people of color.” He pointed out recent incidents in the NBA, including Gilbert Arenas’ indefinite suspension after bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, as examples of fans’ dissatisfaction with the way current professional sports are run.
“Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?” he said. “That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction.”
The Atlanta-based league, which will operate as a single-entity owning all of its teams, is looking for local contacts to pay $10,000 to become a “licensee” in one of 12 cities throughout the Southeast. Lewis said he has already received threats from people opposed to the roster restrictions and several cities have told him to stay out of town. Lewis said he has yet to hear from any one in Augusta.
“We need a local person ingrained into the community to make this successful,” he said.
Lewis said he expects to eventually find support in every town with a team.
“People will come out and support a product they can identify with. I’m the spoken minority right now, but if people will give us a chance, it’ll work… The white game of basketball, which is essentially a fundamental game, works.”
