Yeah, it drives me absolutely crazy.

I say eliminate these race/gender associations altogether or don't complain when you are personally eliminated from one based on the same criteria.

I agree with chilliwilli as well. Earn a spot on a team by proving it regardless of race/whatever or walk away.

Then I guess the first person that should apply this rule of thumb
is Mr. Don “Moose” Lewis. He's the one who said that “white basketball
players” are essentially shutout of conventional professional basketball
due to the growth of non-organized play on the court".

So if Mr. Lewis feels that players are being personally eliminated then
imo instead of complaining about it he should encourage players to do as
chilliwilli suggest. Earn a spot on a team by proving it regardless of race/whatever or walk away.

I agree. I personally think white people have every opportunity to excell at basketball in this country. I don't see how creating this league is going to help anything.

Some of the greatest players in the modern NCAA and NBA are white.

Hmmmmm....Dirk and Steve Nash would be in my top 10. But I have to give the top 5 mad skillz to Lebron, Dwayne Wade (my 2nd favorite), Kobe (dick), Dwight Howard, and my personal favorite Melo!

When I lived in Dallas, Nash and Dirk were my guys. Best tandem in the league at the time. However, they would both be banned from this league because they are both foreign born players

I only made the comment to say that white dudes do excell in the league. Off the top of my head I can give you a list as long as my arm of current white players that excelled at both college and pro levels.

P.S. I can't argue with your top 5. Watch out for rookie Brandon Jennings of Milwaukee.

I know this. I was trying to say that there is plenty of opportunity for white players to excell already and there really isn't a need for this white american only league.

So you're against the Rooney Rule in the NFL then too?
