US News ‘Whites only' basketball league announced

[The Helper]

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."

That's right. Lewis, who calls himself the commissioner of the AABA, will exclude blacks and all foreigners from his new league, which the newspaper said will be based in Atlanta.

Anyone notice that there aren't many black people in hockey?

Honestly, I don't see any problem with this. I don't know the guy, if its based off of racist intentions or anything, but the NBA is pretty much mostly black anyways.

 

[Aqua Dragon]

Eery.

 

[Varine]

Everyone looks totally pissed except the guy in the middle on the front and on the far right in the back.
