Well it is true. Sometimes the truth hurts. Why can’t whites do an all white thing without negative feedback.
If you don’t agree with a all white team isn’t that Bigotry and if your not white and hate the idea you’re a raciest.
Well? I thought the SPLC was to help with things like this
but we know the Southern Poverty Law Center are the biggest haters and raciest of them all!

How about the “Boston Teabaggers” team?

There’s a monochromatic group for you.

Every single neck is red.

Why does anyone care what the guy wants to do and who he associates with?

If he wants his own league and can gin up the money for it fine.

He’s not asking you liberal kooks to join or pay for it.

Hey Furman: What are you so argery about. You guys do own the NBA. Do you think a all white Basketball league would put The4 NBA out of business. Hell No It would be the laughing stock of the country. How many people do you think would pay to see some skinny white kid do his set shot…….. The only thing I know it would do would be to put a couple thousand people to work players ,coaches, league officials, refs, security, arena maintaince and many others. Your Obama Hero hopfully would be glad to see people working. Or maybe we can just set around and hate. Racist? sure but who really cares??????. Damn at least these guys are trying not to hate…..

Alan said: “What would they call the teams that would play in this league, anyway- the Kansas Klansmen? The Nashville Grand Wizards? The Los Angeles Police Department?”

The “Suffolk County Commissioners”, the league’s new Long Island franchise.

White Boys Can’t Jump.

Sorry, couldn’t resist, but its okay since I’m a white boy)

Seriously, who would pay to see this? It’s a non-starter.

Two words for you Klan Nazi entrepreneurs: Demolition Derby.

Go with what you know.

One of the most entertaining things about america is that idiots like this are free to prove how stupid they are in a public arena for all to see.

“Players would have to be natural-born U.S. citizens with two Caucasian parents.”

So this means Chechens, Avars, Lezgis, Georgians, Ignushes, Balkars, and Kardins can play? Or perhaps only US-born descendants of such people? That would be a small league indeed.

“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 in the newspaper interview. “That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction.”

I’ve never heard about a fan being attacked in the stands who didn’t work very hard to earn it. Also, one is tempted to ask- is he going to ban those behaviors he is whining about? Or is he just assuming that all these behaviors will be non-existent in a league without black players?

Won’t it be difficult to play the game in those long white robes and pointy hats?

I don’t really know if the guy is being racist; he may simply be race-baiting in order to get money. He seems more desperate for money than anything else. People will resort to anything as long as there’s a payoff.

As far as Caste Football goes…when I think of football, I think of a bunch of Texas millionaires owning teams and average-american republican guys drinking beer and watching the game every Sunday. I also think of a bunch of pretty-boy college athletes who got by in college based on that alone. And, all of the aforementioned people being WHITE. Call it what you want to, but I don’t see football as a “black sport”.
