The AABA: A League of Racial Overtones?

[Blue_Tires]

On Jan. 19, a new professional league, The All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA), announced that it intends to start its season in June.

However, the AABA is not your ordinary basketball league: it only allows natural-born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race to play in the league.

In other words, the league consists of white players only.

Why would the AABA commit to creating a league with such racial implications?

"It has come to the attention of the principals of the (All-American Basketball Alliance) that white basketball players are essentially ’shut out' of conventional professional basketball due to the proliferation of non-organized play on the court," AABA organizer Don Lewis told newsone.com . "With players on other professional teams carrying guns, attacking fans in the stands, and going through the motions of playing the game, fundamentally sound white players are a vanishing species."

"Here's a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like," Lewis added.

By claiming that white players have the ability to play more sound and fundamental basketball stands as a great insult to all the non-white NBA legends over the decades: Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Connie Hawkins, and Kobe Bryant, just to name a few.

1. Wow...

Not surprised. OT- My son isn't playing this year because of the constant 'playground ball', 'no fundamentals' BS.

I won't go further because I get pissed off...

2. The legal ramifications aside

along with the blatant racism, this league makes a couple of telling points. One, the American-born white players are so poor at the game and can't get into the NBA, so they need their own league. White European players are in the NBA, so it isn't skin color. Two, the white guys are intimidated at being out-numbered in the NBA, so they need their own league. Note that 80% of white people in the USA live in neighborhoods that are at least 85% white. "White flight" didn't get the name because of airplanes painted white.

5. Yeah, funny how some white people go out of their way to

perpetuate the lie that they are the best, most qualified, most talented person in any given group even if they have to remove all the people of color to do so.
