Charles Barkley said the NBA IS A BLACK LEAGUE.

Is this proposed white league a reaction to what he said?

Only players that are natural-born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league,"

They'll be lucky to field more than two teams with the number of players who would actually be qualified.

I would bet that this was put out there specifically to draw the howls of protests from the very same people who thought an all-black league was a good idea.

Maybe it would be fun to purposely flood the media with ridiculous ideas like this then sit back and watch the leftists explode? Sort of a Cloward-Piven race fest.

This whole racist thing is really staring to tax my patience. Everyday, everywhere, every minute, of everything is about race/sex/homo-islam (they are one in the same)

I am now in “I don’t care” mode. I simply don’t care about racism, sexism, homoism, etc.

Everybody is out there trying to raise “awarness”. Well, I’m fully aware, and I don’t give a damned anymore. I don’t want to hear it.

I think Lewis is trying to force the issue to point out the hypocrisy of an all-black league....what's good for the goose is good for the gander as the old expression goes...

The proposal was swiftly condemned by the mayor of Augusta, one of the 12 Southeastern cities the league is eyeing.

'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,' Deke Copenhaver told the Augusta Chronicle.

The reporter didn't do his job: He should have asked the Mayor of Augusta if he would also condemn an all-black league that was eyeing his town for one of their black-only teams.

When one hits the link for the Augusta Chronicle in the article, and it just goes to another page of the Daily News, well, it confirms what I thought from the git-go.

Satire. And not bad satire at that.

Natural born players? Too funny. Like natural born citizens perhaps?

Only players that are natural-born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league," read the statement for the All-American Basketball League.

Hey, add "over 60 years of age and under 6'3" tall" and you've got the league I'm lookin' for! I'll play real cheap!

An all-white league would be an outrage. Next they’ll try to claim that the game was invented by a white man.
