Exacly, which is why there are absolutely NO white coaches, general managers or franchise owners in the NBA.

What's funny is that people should be decrying this person and criticizing him. Instead, we have the typical right wing enlightened folks who defend this idea and don't claim it's racist. Gee, let's see, a guy from GEORGIA comes up with a whites only basketball league...hmmm I wonder what his motivations were

Ok, so making judgments about someone due to their race is bad and deserves criticism but somehow you're able to tell a man's motivations by his location?

Fail. I was simply pointing out the irony in the statement and gave no personal opinions on the validity of judging someone's motivations based upon geography.

Those against racism should roll out the red carpet. I cannot imagine a better way to admit inferiority than to exclude competition deemed too good.

This is America: shut-up and compete...or admit failure and die.

Presumably this league has a maximum IQ, too.

Bet it would draw.
Friends and I once considered starting a 6'5" and under Basketball League.
That, is still a good idea.
