You Might Be a Racist: Whites Only Basketball League

Here's a fun one!

Remember the old days, when all the basketball players were big slow white guys?  well in a climate defined by racial reactionaries and tea bagging bigots, we might get to enjoy the slow paced side of basketball once again.  A number of news outlets including Huffington Post and Think Progress are reporting on a plan to create a league of 12 white-only basketball teams.



The commissioner, Don "Moose" Lewis, claims that although it would be whites only, it's not because they "hate" anyone.  On the contrary, they just don't like the way "people of color" play the game.  Apparently, now that white, american-born people are the minority (they actually aren't unless you live in CA), there is a need for a league in which these people can play fundamental basketball, because thats the kind of baseketball white people play.

"would you want to go to a game and worry a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?"  he said. "That's the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction."

ok, so he's not hateful (or presumably racist), but Blacks are profane, violent, crotchgrabbers and are clearly wrong because they don't play basketball they way you want it to be played?  Sorry buddy, you might be a racist.
