I’m a white guy and I happily bought a “Fightin’ Whities” T-shirt. Maybe the Native Americans thought I’d be offended, but they mis-understimated the average white guy. We are maligned so much now, we have to have a thick skin and a sense of humor. Those are traits that would serve other groups, of the whiny variety, well. On top of that, they made a little money on the deal. Win-Win.

I guess there won't be any jumping in this league.

Oh, there might be the occasion slam dunk. I hear tell they're going to use 8-ft high hoops, vs regulation 10-ft.

Yeah I’m sure they’ll have no trouble getting sponsorship for a racist Bball league. ;p

I love this idea since it is really going to PO the libs and race hustlers.

I say let the free market decide if it is a good idea or not.

"of" is a word. Why would a spell check correct it? The spell check software used here only corrects spelling, not syntax.

Definitions of joke on the Web:
a humorous anecdote or remark intended to provoke laughter

I was joking about my lack of proofreading and over-reliance on the spell checker.

If they want to have an all white basketball team, that's their business and their choice.

I won't be watching. That's my choice.

Riiight... You’re just as likely to find great runners in China as in West Africa. But of course, just because humans vary in physical traits according to ethnicity that doesn’t mean that they vary in mental traits (like dogs and other non-human animals) as well. After all evolution does not apply to humans. it just wouldn’t be PC if it did...

Damn! I prefer the run and gun all-black, no-defense, play ground NBA style where shooters abound (running and gunning), beat their hos, have locker-room shoot-outs and hawk $300 sneakers!

You mean now I'll be forced to watching clean cut Christian youth passing the ball and playing defense and actually shaking hands with their opponents after the game.

But I'll bet their Free-Throw Percentage will be in the 90% range.

Because it is in my opinion.

Dumb idea for a league, but, not a bad idea if you are trying to make a point.
