A new professional basketball league, planned for launch in twelve cities, will only include white males who are born in the U.S. Don "Moose" Lewis announced the All-American Basketball Alliance just a day before Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
"Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league," a press release distributed Sunday said.
Lewis denies that he a racist but he wants to get away from "street ball" played by "people of color" that dominate the NBA. "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.
The Augusta Chronicle talked to Lewis Monday.
"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."
