Three-pointers and lay-ups are the bricks with which we build the bridge to a better, whiter tomorrow. Come out to see the season opener between the Charlotte Jim Crowes and the Little Rock Lynchers!

This sounds like the sort of thing Uncle Ruckus would come off with.

AWESOME. So, when they require that both of your parents be of the "Caucasian race", how do you prove that? Are the parents interviewed? Do you have to provide a geneology, complete with birth certificates? What if you're a white guy adopted by a non-white family with no way to find your birth parents, but REALLY good? Do they make an exception and just assume that your lack of a tan is pedigree enough?

I've seen this before, though. I watched the Vidor High School basketball team play when I was younger. It wasn't pretty.

I'm not nearly as involved in basketball as I used to be, but anyone with any basketball knoweldge knows that very few "street ballers" ever really step up to the big game. Allen Iverson in his heyday was a glorified street baller, sure, but as far as I know Rafer Alston was the only guy off of the And 1 Mixtapes to ever suit up in an NBA uniform and make a career out of it.


Ten bucks says this league never gets off the ground.

Does anybody remember when Michael Jordan was on SNL in the 90s? They did a sketch where he was the first black player on the then all-white Harlem Globetrotters. The players all got mad that he as getting the attention. In the locker room, Michael Myers says to the other guys, "Let's quit. We can start our own team. We'll call it the Washington Generals." Cracks me up every time.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a good thing?

If nothing else, it could help clean the NBA up.

Nope, I'm sure there are a bunch of Neo-Nazi's that have the same mindset.
