Is a new professional basketball league announced this week for real, or is it all just some sort of joke or publicity stunt by former pro wrestling promoter Don "Moose" Lewis?

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."

kinda stupid, but it makes a point

[NoLibZone]

Makes a point.

Love to see any of the Obama orgs call for hiring quotas!

[Hostage]

What point would that be? I am missing it.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Need to move the baskets down about a foot and a half...

I might accidentally watch or even go to a game if they did that.

Never happen tho... you can have a “Black Student Union”, but you cannot have a “White Student Union”

Cannot have “White boys basketball”

That would be “Rasis”

What about whiteys from South Africa?

I'm holding out for the:

"White Guys over 55 who are under 6', Can't Jump Very High and Need a Beer and Cigar Break Every 10 Minutes Who Only Play Half-Court On Saturday Afternoons League."

Then, I'm in!

They will only beat the all - Asian team. What a dumb idea.

Basketball without traveling, palming the ball, tattoos, trash-talking, and hanging on the rim. Maybe some better sportsmanship.

...good enough for the Black Causus

[Bronzy]

They have Great White Whales.

Here's my team:

C: Bill Walton, George Mikan, Dave Cowens (C/PF)
PF: Bob Pettit, Kevin McHale
SF: Larry Bird, Rick Barry, John Havlicek (SF/SG)
SG: Jerry West, Pete Maravich
PG: John Stockton, Bob Cousy

I think they could play the game.

[Charles Henrickson]

It would be the equivalent of the Negro Leagues in baseball.

I played 16 years in a league that was supposed to be for people of Asian descent only.

We played for fun and excercise only so if someone didn’t look Asian no one complained as long as he was a gentleman on and off the court.

Awesome!

I still think this is a joke.

There are some over 40 leagues in my area and I've heard of some over 50 leagues as well. Watch out for the heart attacks!
