AABA....You're kidding me right?
Is this a joke? What year is it?
Quote:
A new professional basketball league that only allows white Americans to suit up is targeting Augusta, GA for a franchise, according to a report in Tuesday's Augusta Chronicle.
The All-American Basketball Alliance issued a press release on Martin Luther King Day (January 18) stating that it was hoping Augusta would be one of 12 cities with franchises.

Racism issues aside...that would be some really bad basketball. I picture a whole bunch of short white guys doing nothing but layups and shooting 3s.

I'm personally thinking of my college intramural game I filled in for last night... White guys bricking the threes and can't do a good layup, but think they are the S*** still.

Who is going to play in this league? No former college player is going to do it because it's racist and I doubt there are very many racist college level players as they would have played with other races in college and before.

Until some banned NBA player like the jerk with a gun needs to make sume money. He paints himself white and dominates the league.

They must be planning on finding all their players in Utah and Idaho.

Isn't hard to play basketball wearing a hood on your head?
Sounds like some random nutter. Must have been a slow news day in Augusta.
The franchise fee is ten thousand bucks. Some gay pranksters should pool their money and buy a team.

That's some wonderful stuff.....
That said, I don't think that Black Entertainment Television should exist. Neither should this though. Luckily, this would likely never get off the ground. The quality of basketball would likely be preetttttttty poor.

Why is that? Are you only allowed to subscribe/watch if you are black?
First Nations have their own channel should they get rid of that too?

Now explain to me, good sir, how this is not racist?
Racism apologists are no better than Islamist apologists. "Oh, just ignore a major threat to society, it'll all go away. They're not really being racist or encouraging attacks on infidels, I'm just going to put my fingers in my ears, blindfold myself, and go nanananananaana now."
