Have you guys heard this one. A promoter wants to start up an all white basketball league that will play in 12 southern cities. /facepalm

I have to say I find it actually funny. Pale white knobby knees, wife beater shirts and guys who can't jump. Playing a classic fundamental style of basketball. It reminds me of the old old racist saying about basketball being for blacks and jews because it was a game of sneakiness and deceit I guess this is just for a few good ole boys looking for an honest "white" game. Anyway, here's the link fyi

That's stupid on so many levels. And I find their exclusion of naturalized citizens nearly as bad as their exclusion of races.

Here in Michigan, there is a Hispanic only softball league. That is right, you can not join unless you are hispanic. Don't seem to hear too much about that and its has been around for a long time.

Almost as stupid as Braddock claiming racism, while spouting off about how white people can not jump.

Excuse me? Where was I spouting off about racism?

I'm not racist, but I am a realist... having an all-white Basketball league would be the sporting equivalent of affirmative action but if you can find enough athletic, 7ft + white guys then have at it hoss!

I owe you an apology. Don't know why but I thought I saw that you were the author of the OT.  So I apologize.

So because 1 lawyer says that basketball players are worse then other sports figures that makes it so. The fact that the NFL is plagued by the same problems, or really any professional sport for that matter, doesn't show basketball players are no more hoodlums then anyone else put on that pedistool?

I am sorry, I thought we were talking about basketball. By all means if you wanna discuss the thugs that plague most high profile professional sports we can.  What shall we discuss?

European soccer players can't seem to stop raping people... but race doesn't appear to be a factor.

I am sorry if you don't like people picking apart your racism, don't use an op-ed to back it up.

basketball is hoodlum ball. shit load of street thug attitudes and parallels to the game both on and off the court. Is that something you can really deny?

NFL ain't much better. FOr the record, although I think Vick is a piece of shit, I was also disgusted that he was treated worse than a players who are charged with rape, drup possession, armed violence, domestic violence etc..

Baseball, worst they have is steroid use, and they are only doing it to themselves who cares?

Also a shit load of philanthropy, community, and generally unthuggish people. People that do more for this world in one day than the average person will do in their entire life. I am sure they love to play the game you so graciously call hoodlumball. The reason I feel hoodlumball is racist is because there is no distinguishing factor that makes it deserving of that name. Other then the fact they are predominatly black of course.
