OMG. Just amazing how someone could say 'I don't hate anyone of color' but still want to start this kind of league. I am stunned.

It's a terrible idea, but I have to ask how this would be any different than the college conferences that are African-American only schools?

 

Segregation in any way is a terrible, terrible thing, but I think it's worth pointing out that they cut both ways. It's simply not just whites or just blacks doing this kind of garbage, it's both.

I must agree that I don't see the logic behind things like All African American schools, or the "Black coaches association".

 

However I don't agree with having an "All White" league either.

Looks like I'm going to come out of retirement.

OR, you're the man. I was mad when I saw this thread but you just made my day man.:thumb:

"I don't hate anyone of color," he told the Augusta Chronicle. "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."

 

That quote says it all. I hate that this is still an issue.

Wonder what there average attendance will be?

I wonder if they are going to use 8 ft. goals. Cause you know what they say! :sssh:

Where's Billy Hoyle these days?

That quote says it all. I hate that this is still an issue.

 

What is wrong with what he said? Why should we judge or call him a liar? He said he isn't a racist and we should believe him. If not then I guess BET channel is discriminative of white people, any "African-American" only colleges or schools must be racist, scholarship foundations for any minority only must be racist.

 

 

It's time to get over it, if he wants to create this league then so be it. I see nothing wrong with it in principle considering all of the other things that are out there. But I agree that there should be no segregation period.

1) I've never heard of an African-American only college. Where are they?

 

2) Sure he said he isn't racist but to answer your question, yes, we should judge him and call him a liar. Because that's what he is. And players have to be natural-born citizens which makes him a xenophobe as well. "Here's a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like." I'm white and I want no part of this guy. Whatever it is he thinks we all like about basketball... he's wrong.

I'm pretty sure schools like Grambling State and conferences such as the SWAC are all-black schools. If those are around, wouldn't it stand to reason that an all-white school or league should be allowed to exist as well?

Actually that is your opinion and you have no facts to make it anything other than that.
