I have an interesting topic I would like to discuss concerning recent report of starting an all white Basketball league launching in 12 cities. The league commissioner Don "Moose" Lewis states he is not a racist at all but feels like white players are minority and in his exact words "I want to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of street ball played by black people." Moose would like to jump start the season this June in Augusta, however have been receiving bad feedback already. Augusta Mayor, Deke Copenhavor has already stated he would not approve this type of entertainment in Augusta and states he is all for minor league teams but not in this fashion. Moose also states that the fans will enjoy it and you don't have to worry about going to a game and worrying about someone flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch. He also spoke about recent incidents in the NBA and the latest Gilbert Arenas situation. Hall Of Famer Charles Barkley definitely feels that this is racism and should not be tolerated. I think this is preposterous to start a league in this format. I think for Moose to state that white players are a minority is hilarious because you have great athletes such as Kirk Hinrich, Mike Miller, Brad Miller, Chris Kaman, and the list goes on and for him to state that in order to join the league both parents have to be Caucasian is a form of racism. I believe a blind person can see right through this. I don't think this league will go far and I think he is definitely going to get the attention he is looking for but in a bad way.
