Whites Only Basketball League

This is not a news headline from the past. This is from 2010. A white's only league, where people of color and anyone not born in the U.S. is not allowed to play.

There are just so many things wrong with this guy's logic. As a basketball fan, especially a collegiate basketball fan, it is just preposterous to claim that "white American borns" are the only ones to play fundamental basketball. And furthermore, it is preposterous to claim that "whites American borns" are a legitimate minority group in this country.

"There's nothing hatred about what we're doing," he said. "I don't hate anyone of color. 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." No-here's a league where 'white, American-born citizens' won't have to worry about feeling inadequate at something for once in their life. Perhaps they should just take up golf at one of their all-white country clubs.
