Whites only' basketball league announced

number335 · 01-22-2010, 05:41 PM

The Augusta Chronicle reported on Tuesday that the All-American Basketball Alliance plans to kick off its inaugural season in June and hopes that Augusta will be one of 12 cities to host teams.

But here's the kicker: According to a press release the newspaper and other Augusta media outlets received from the new league, "only players that are natural-born United State citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league."

wtf? joke?

So what if a native american wants to play ball? Can't get more natural than that...

Kensta335 · 01-22-2010, 06:27 PM

I don't see anything wrong with it.

a basketball league without dunking

boymonkey · 01-22-2010, 06:36 PM

I don't see what the big deal is, except they probably shouldn't call themselves "All-American". People normally wouldn't have an issue with other groups/clubs etc., such as Chinese Student Association or something. You wouldn't go and say "OMG you guys are racist to exclude whites, blacks, etc. etc.".

MontegoGoGoGo · 01-22-2010, 06:49 PM

Let the Asians play too, because the white guys need someone to make them feel athletically superior in the league.

I kid, I kid.

I can't see anyone supporting this, my fellow crackers, you let me down. Honky fail.

TMNT · 01-22-2010, 07:09 PM

Can't wait to catch a game on ESPN...oh wait. Maybe CBS or TNT..oh wait...maybe the local public broadcasting channel?

ehhhh. I'll just wait until the season comes out on VHS.

The XFL will have lasted longer than this league

yeah, it'll be kinda like the inverse of if you goto a math, physics or o-chem class at any top ranked university in the US---typically don't see a lot of "natural born' americans in those

Oh yes they would. I can think of a club for just about every race at my university except for Caucasians.

Exactly. If Chinese club is ok then why not Caucasian American club? It doesn't necessarily mean they hate everyone else.

Because whites in 2010 aren't allowed to show racial pride because of what their great great great grandfathers did to someone else's great great great grandfathers 300 years ago....or some shit like that.

02themax · 01-23-2010, 03:04 AM

I didn't know the klan could ball??

01-23-2010, 03:42 AM

Because when White Americans congregate, it's a racist klan meeting but when members of other origins congregate, they're embracing their culture

I'm asian btw and yea I think there's a double standard for White Americans in terms of being able to form groups. Sucks you guys can't form some club without catching flak or renaming it something else...

I think it is only the fair that the creators of this league also start up the African American Hockey Association.
