Yeah I read about this on another site yesterday.

Some of the comments under the article are heeee-larious:

"Why in the heck would white guys want to play basketball" Does this dude honestly think white people don't play basketball...?

"As many of you know we have the NAACP, No whites...We have Quanza, no whites" Cry for America, people.

Well, we now know that the Confederacy still exists within this guy.

Get this loon out of my state, now.

This will be about as exciting as watching paint dry.

White paint

I agree with the promoter - I don't think this is a racist thing. It's an economic thing (which admittingly could take advantage of the racism of others).

Less dunking than the WNBA? That's unpossible!

Who wants to watch a bunch of white guys play basketball? If anything, white dudes that are good at the sport get more play in the NBA where they stand out for being white dudes that are good.

I agree with the promoter - I don't think this is a racist thing. It's an economic thing (which admittingly could take advantage of the racism of others).

It becomes a racist thing when he says whites are better at the fundamentals of basketball and lack the athleticism of other players.

 

[SuperFerret]

Wouldn't the fundamentals mean nothing if you don't have the athleticism to back it up? Or is "athleticism" a euphemism for melanin?

 

[BlackLantern]

maybe it is...but Norm is right, its taking adavantage of an economic situation
