This was on Deadspin the other day, but how could I not talk about this. Apparently there is a guy in Augusta attempting to start a white only professional basketball league. He says, "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. Would you want to go to the game and worry about 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."
I can think of nothing more boring then just fundamental basketball. It is really amazing how racist some parts of the country still are. This is no better then having white and black restaurants, it is just a horrible idea. Listen, I get what the guy is saying. There are very few white people in the NBA, but tough shit...get better then.
What made me laugh (other then just the overall idea of this), is the fact Boston is called the most racist city in America. Well I can tell you this would never happen in our city.
Way to be South, you just can't get over this whole racism thing.
