    Only white men can jump in our league..

    A new professional basketball league called the All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA) sent out a press release on Sunday saying that it intends to start its inaugural season in June, with teams in 12 U.S. cities. However, the AABA is different from other sports leagues because only players who are “natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league.” AABA commissioner Don “Moose” Lewis insists that he’s not racist, but he just wants to get away from the “street-ball” played by “people of color” and back to “fundamental basketball.” Lewis cited the recent incidents of bad behavior by NBA players, implying that such actions would never happen with white players.

    “There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing,” he said. “I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.

    He pointed out recent incidents in the NBA, including Gilbert Arenas’ indefinite suspension after bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, as examples of fans’ dissatisfaction with the way current professional sports are run.

    Wow... Talk about a step back here. lol

    This reminds me of that Chappelle Show episode where black people got their reparations for slavery... none of the black players showed up and it ended up being Travis Knight vs some other white guy. lol

    I wonder what his explanation for misconduct in baseball is?
    The influx of Mexicans, Cubans, and Blacks over the years, obviously.

    Nah, the shitty offense will be balanced by an equally shitty defense. Actually, I expect higher scores do to more 3-pointers scored, as white people can't dunk OR block.
