Those pants are up to his sternum and I dont even want to know why his belt is all loose.
It would be very funny if it weren't so sad. There actually are still people who feel this way.
Everyonce in a while stupidity attention seeking moron (both black and white) make some kindo of outragious statement to further the cause.
We got Obama's one year in office and MLK day so this moron has to piss in someones corflakes.
The one thing about sports for most of society is while we are watching the games, black and whites both cheering blacks and whites on the court/field and its the color of the uniform that matters the most.
Racism will always exist so long as people are different from one another but to me sports brings people together for the most part.
Maybe we should take this moron and put it to good use and see what good there is instead of attacking.
An all white basketball league will never exist so I would not worry a bit about it.
Wanna watch fundamentally sound basketball? Then watch a womens college or pro game! IM not slamming on the womens game, in fact, I like watching them not for what they don't do, but for how they play.
I thought they already had this, its called NCAA Division II LOL
Sebstar said this is no joke, but it sounds like it to me. A league like this is flat out illegal, isnt it?

You're obviously the guy around here that doesn't jaywalk.

Absolutely. Conceptually its no joke, but theoretically it is.
Clearly this violates Civil rights and Anti-discrimination laws. If this league is given any kind of traction, assumably it will find itself bogged down by an absurd amount of litigation.
But as a social experiment I want it to see the light of day. Who will want to play for such a league? Who will want a management job? Who would attend? What kind of corporate sponsorship will it attract? What kind of product will it produce?
I want this!

Good to see you're putting racism and discrimination on the same platform as jaywalking...
An entire league running the Princeton offense would be boring as hell

John Rocker can own a team in Georgia!!!!
This league got started because this is the way they really feel. Down south they let ya know, up north they cover it up.

Renaldo Balkman will be the star of this league

if thats the case, you'll be an all star
this is all pretty funny when you blaze one up, haha, for pretty white gay guys. that would be great.
man, this will be the most boring league, right? i wonder if dunking will be allowed, haha! just layups! and granny shot freethrows!!
I find Honkeyball to be an offensive term. Why is it by pointing out a racist concept, you start a thread by using a racist comment?

Its just how it is man, just how it is.
If you listed the attributes of an all black league with sarcasim it would be seen as offensive, but its all funny when making fun of white people.
and to tell you the truth, it is funny! If you can't laugh at yourself then you too uptight. Richard Pryor is my favorite stand up of all time and his takes on white people were great.
ANd yeah, its not fair. But neither was the struggle of minorities in this country over our history. So us honkey's have to give some artistic license that we can't do ourselves without looking racist.
It ain't logical, but its how it is.

Somewhere, Richard Pryor may not be laughing, but I know Chris Rock will buy season tickets
I don't know where I said anything was funny or even addressed the article. Don't assume. And comparing the nazi (I consider it far too courteous to even capitalize) genocide of an entire group of people to this situation is nowhere near the ballpark.
In my opinion, and with much respect to the moderators here for running such a thoroughly engaging, vibrant website, what we have here is a failure to moderate. All race talk should be banned. Allowing things like that title and what Sebstar said is a travesty.
There are much better ways to title this topic than 'honkeyball'. If you think this is okay, then you probably hate kittens and your own children.
I am not a bigot, but the topic title didn't bother me one bit. It's kind of funny. There is a huge difference between posting ideas in a topic that references racial stereotypes in support of an argument, and titling this funny ass thread with "honkeyball" (I agree, Chappelle would love this thread AND the new KKK league it references). It's just so ludicrous that a few bigots in Georgia think a bunch of no-jumping loser racists would be able to draw an audience. The only hoops those folks are really interested in are the sort that go around the neck.
Oh, but I do hate kittens, mostly b/c I am severely allergic to them.
