"People will come out and support a product they can identify with. I'm the spoken minority right now, but if people will give us a chance, it'll work... The white game of basketball, which is essentially a fundamental game, works."
That sentence says it all. If it walks like a racist, talks like a racist, and forms groups like a racist then....ya'll know the rest.
Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of "street-ball" played by "people of color." He pointed out recent incidents in the NBA, including Gilbert Arenas' indefinite suspension after bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, as examples of fans' dissatisfaction with the way current professional sports are run.
"Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?" he said. "That's the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction."
I don't know if that's a good trade off if I have to watch a bunch of beer belly, toothless guys running around in "wife beater" shirts instaed of jerseys. Then having to deal with their fans/family throwing beer bottles from the stands and having to listen to the players cousinwives talk about the finer points of cooking road kill possum. I doubt this league would survive because there will NEVER be any parking available after the players trailers homes take up all the space.
A league made up of the best pure-caucasion American born players would probably not be as "fundamental" and exciting as the WNBA so I will take a pass. You gotta love America!
