A whites-only basketball league may sound like a joke, but it may soon become a reality in a dozen Southeastern cities.
Don “Moose” Lewis, a boxing and wrestling promoter from Georgia has announced plans to launch the All-American Basketball League.
In a throwback to the days of segregation, the league would require players to have parents that are both of full “caucasian” descent.
Lewis claims it has nothing to do with racism.
“”There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing,” Lewis claims, “…people of white American-born citizens [sic] are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.”
He alludes to the recent scandal involving Washington Wizards player Gilbert Arenas, and perceives a difference between “fundemental basketball” and “street ball.”
“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? That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction.”
The planned league has sparked an outcry, with Augusta’s mayor stating that, “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,”
I LIKED THE MOVIE PRECIOUS AND ITS BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
I think it would be funny to watch and all white league try to pick up. I doubt it will have any luck, considering most people that play sports want to play against the people that give them a challenge. I dont think there are that many basketball players out there with any talent that would be like, “Yes! a white league” I would imagine it would just be a league full of white guys that are afraid of black people lol.
I am white, I would watch it to see how it went. Most people are douche bags, white or black. So saying it would be a respectable league is funny. Theres some good people out there and those are the ones that know this white league does not matter.
If you need a white league to make you happy or entertain you then great. If you need any organization or form of entertainment to be established by one race only to make you comfortable, proud, or interested… Get to it!
I say watch less sports if this is even an issue for you one way or the other.
this is so dumb. you cannot do that. everyone is equal and the behavior you see in the nba is a few stupid people doing stupid things. so what if they happen to be black. you can’t judge a whole race on just a few stupid people. i’m sure theres white people that do stupid stuff too so why don’t you exclude them too. however i don’t beleive this is racism i think it is racial profiling.
Family Guys.
Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, John McCain, George Will, John Ensign, David “Diaper Dandy” Vitter and on and on!!!!!!!
iTS TIME WE GOT BACK TO THE BASICS. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN IDEA THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE BLACK YOU ARE ENTITLED TO BE A PART OF EVERY THING. THAT IS WRONG. WHAT IF I ONLY WANT PEOPLE THAT ARE SKILLED WHITE WHY CAN I NOT HAVE THAT. WHY DOES IT ALWAYS REQUIRE THAT I HAVE TO MIX UP THINGS TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. WHAT IF I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY. DO I HAVE TO ADD ROOT BEER TO MY COKE BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE WANTS IT DIFFERENT. FUCK THE NIGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree with what you said except the last ignorant sentence
shut up fool!
You are a disgusting excuse for a human being. I hope you enjoy your ignorant, pathetic and backwards life.
your an idiot!!!!!
It seems to me that if blacks can have BET, black colleges, Miss Black America, etc., then Caucasians can have all white basketball. What’s fair is fair.
I love it,it’s about time.The black’s have their Black Miss America,with no white’s in it,but,we have to let them in our’s,they have their own award shows,we don’t.The black’s have a lot of things that we can’t join,why is that?,They can say anyting they want about white people,but we can’t say anything to them.I don’t think so,thats not fair,I didn’r own any slaves,I don’t owe anybody anything.Bring on the all white basketball,maybe then I’ll watch it.
Lmao……This will be some funny sh!t if it does happen, no DUNKING what so ever, just a bunch of white boys running up and down the court shooting 3 pointers…still LMAO!
I am so tired of this country. No one can tell this man he cannot start an all white team, that is his right. If they try and stop it, then BET needs to be shut down. As for all the comments of thugs on NBA teams, how can anyone argue against those claims? It is true! I am so sick of all these ghetto idiots running around glorifying violence with made up, dumb ass words, fo shizzle. Damn, it sounds so ridiculous, and nobody wants to hire that, so now they are racist for not wanting to hire a gun toting, bling(another made up word) wearing, craponics speaking, drug dealing, grade school drop out douchebag. Everything is racist these days. Don’t get me started on how this all really started, because I will bet most blacks have no idea the truth behind slavery, Europeans, and Africans. Grow up people, worry about your own lives, and stop whining like little bitches!
how about the first game between the dirt bags called the murderous KKKers and the all city Skinheads! yup a bunch of murderous, crack head white dudes trying to play bball from half court. white dudes could bring their ak47′s and their illegal gun collections and then go duck hunting afterwards.
It is true! I am so sick of all these barn yard hillbilly idiots running around glorifying violence with made up, dumb ass words, fo shizzle. Damn, it sounds so ridiculous, and nobody wants to hire that, so now they are racist for not wanting to hire a gun toting, bling(another made up word) wearing, craponics speaking, drug dealing, grade school drop out douchebag. Everything is racist these days. Don’t get me started on how this all really started, because I will bet most whites have no idea the truth behind slavery, Europeans, and Africans. Grow up people, worry about your own lives, and stop whining like little bitches!
What is the “truth behind slavery, Europeans, and Africans?” I’d like to hear it, since I’m a white guy from Minnesota and I haven’t heard it.
At least white persons like myself might be able to
pick up some role models for our kids. I’m tired of seeing gigantic gang-bangers with nasty tats all over their bodies with little or no education making the big $$$$’s on television. These MOFO’s don’t give a
flying F**k about their communities, and only seem to want to date blond bimbos. Whites, let’s take back our country !
I don’t really think that this is a good idea,but, There is a Miss Black america pagent, right, why have a miss black america contest?
There is a Miss Black America Conteset because Blacks were not allowed to participate. Anythimg that you see that are black based is due to blacks
not being able to attend. Think about it! But I would like to see what happens with this.
Very Very Interesting – I can’t wait to see if it goes through. Forget the basketball I’m waiting for the caucasian college fund the only way I’ll get to college.
yup, the entire games will be played from half court! ha ha ha ha (lol)
Im all for it and hope this league can make it and grow!!
i can’t believe this made the news……….what’s up, no news to report? these same guys already have truck huntin’, and monster truckin’ to go see, why go see less than the best in basketball?
and, why is all this junk always in the SOUTH?
Why not have an all-white league? Have you noticed the color ratio of the teams now? There’s lots of good white “real basketball” players that can not compete in whatever the game is now that is being played. I had rather watch “real basketball” anyday than this totally new sport being played now. Who’s it going to hurt? I say go for it!
what you say is “real” funny dude! “real basketbal”, honky, you got jokes!
I am a black person and I would love to see an all white basketball league. That would level the playing field. Also we have Hockey so why not extend it to basketball. I really don’t care what the hell these people do. I want to form a club for straight black males only. No whites, no gay, no way. So more power to your basketball league of no-color.
I like the idea of white only player basketball teams.
It gives us the opportunity to see all the racists. Playing the brand of basketball,the way they have to, to be winners.They have always liked the lack of a level playing field.This may the only way they can show their superiority in the sport.So let them have their league,and hoist their meaningless trophy.I say HAVE AT IT SCRUBS.
just do it! it would be like the circus. everybody will enjoy a good laugh watching actual american whites running around making fools of themselves
WOW, there is so much ignorance on this blog its deppressing. As soon as you think that peoples views on race and equality are leaning towards an “everyone is equal” mentality you get stupid people, making stupid remarks like “fuck the niggers”, and comparing BET and Miss Black America to something like a Whites Only Basketball League. If you havent noticed YOU DONT HAVE TO BE BLACK to be on BET or be in Miss Black America, there both just medimus for African Americans to share in exclusive areas of the media. For example how many Miss Americas have been Black?, or how many Black People are on MTV these days? You people on here are ridiculous and this is why I have no faith in humanity as a whole because were all family on 9/11 yet a few years later were back to being “niggers” who “fight people in the crowd”… oh yea go look up hockey fights and see how many of those have spilled over into the stands… idiots
And by the way, do your research people. when you say real basketball what do you mean? dunking? because since the 70′s its been a stable intregal in the growth of the sport. do you mean dribbling? the fathers of fancy dribbling were none other than bob cousy and “the logo” himself jerry west. and if you mean defense, statistically this is some of the best defense being played ever, with most teams being held to under 100 pts a game. wow before you make ignorant dumbass comments do your research… oh yea theres alot of white players in the nba already unless you dont count the europeans who make up 17% of the league plus the american born caucasion players your looking at around 34% to 42%… dumbasses
my numbers also include players in the nbdl
A bunch of white guys playing basketball. Would it get more boring?
Lol! Lol! Lol! Lol! Lol! LMAO!!
White Power Bitch!!!
LMFAO!
I’m quite sure everyone who’s in a tizzy over this, including the ‘righteous’ mayor of Augusta, is EQUALLY outraged over the fact that we have black t.v., colleges, beauty pageants, and a million other things.
What a joke
I am a AAF who grew up around whites, asaians, hispanics, mexicans, and samoans just to name a few. Hearing these narrow minded comments hurt me and make me sad. Yes there is uneccessary “thuggary” in the NBA, and it will only stop when those making the rules enforce them and require codes of conduct for the players.
I read complaints about blacks having BET, Miss Black America and such, but these things started because mainstream America did not cater to us as Americans. It is sad that there is so much hate against blacks that did not ask to come here to begin with. Every American is of immigrant background. If this man wants an all white b-ball team and he uses his own money and that of other private investors…so what? Freedom is the blessing of all of us here. The man is just excercising his right to free enterprise.
Hey Obama played basketball and he was never a ghetto thug. CAN WE SAY RACIAL PROFILING!!
Hooray for personal freedom,socialist hate that-i can see from comments,isnt there already all black teams-oh they just forgot to mention it.
Ralph, that is just ignorant. If there are all-black teams (which may or may not be true), it’s not by design. It’s because each of those players earned a right to play on that team- with their merit. You can appreciate that, right, Mr. Anti-Socialist? So stop with your flipping back and forth on important social issues with your love of a meritocracy on one hand and your hate of niggers on the other!
you guys r sick!!!!! idc if whites have their own team!!! i think its wrong that you guys are justifing the situation with those selfish reasonings “mixing it up”! lik life is a joke or something! n thats so ignorant to call me a nigger! look at ur president he is black! and more successful then you will ever be! N yet this all white team will not succeed n not because the white man cant jump! but because this is unncessary and just plain immature
well folks I aint racist but it all makes alot of sense now, i think the promoters name for this new all white basketbal league is David Duke(former kkk person).yep and after the republicans sent the U.S in a deep recession for all of mainstream america ,there is nothing left to do but to try an take it all back. simple point that many are and will get upset over,get used to the fact that whites will be the new minority(the census dictates that)yep you took us from africa and all over the world to build america,didnt you think we would have to multiply and grow as a race at some point? when you mix enough color in white milk it ain’t white milk no more. its called chocolate milk. the plight of whites will change, the plight of blacks will change because of that as well.so the so called nigger hater on this blog you might as well just slit your wrist cause you aint stopping nothin.
AWESOME!!!!!
Wonderful Idea!!!!
