Re: Vocal Minority to Make its own Basketball Leauge
Hmm, shouldn't that be in the News of the Weird? Quite amusing, but also even more obvious. And I wonder what is the validity of the Huffington Post on an apparently right-wing group such as the one depicted in the news, although it does seem like there is little one can say about such obvious racists.

Seriously though, we should make our own basketball league. Then play these guys.

"Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league," the statement said.
Damn, I so regret not being born a Dagestani now.

Should men and women play sports segregated, owing to different physical ability?
Re: Vocal Minority to Make its own Basketball Leauge
HuffPo has its slant, yes it does, but I've never caught them fabricating or falsifying news stories. (Their bloggers are another matter.) Here's an alternate source: NBC Sports.Originally Posted by Aemilius Paulus
"There's nothing hatred about what we're doing," Lewis 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."
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.

Re: Vocal Minority to Make its own Basketball Leauge
Mmm, okay. I am a Democrat, but I stay shy of Fox (duh) and for the same matter, Huffington as well. Drudge report is likely worse than Fox, but Huffington is too biased for my taste nonetheless. but why did you say they do not fabricate things? That is like answering 'I know that teacher is not a child molester' when asked 'is that teacher good?' xP
Re: Vocal Minority to Make its own Basketball Leauge
I read the Guardian. And no, I don't wear sandals.
Re: Vocal Minority to Make its own Basketball Leauge
I wasn't answering whether or not they were "good" in any sense, rather, I was responding to your objection against them as a source. The report was factual, and I pointed out that HuffPo is reliable when it comes to factual reporting. From what I've seen, most of it comes from a license deal with AP and UPI.
You asked whether or not they were reliable on a news story. My response was that they are reliable for news stories, not so much for editorials and blogs. Seemed like a pretty straightforward exchange to me.
For that matter, the rather thin portion of Fox News that calls itself "news" is pretty reliable as well, although even their straight newscasters have an annoying tendency to editorialize and pass on things said elsewhere on FNC as "people say" and "some say" and "opinions are," which undercuts them completely.

This Don "Moose" Lewis guy is in the b-side of show business. Previous (failed) business ventures of his include the IBU (Int'l Boxing Union), GBA (Global Basketball Assoc.) and this gem from 2003:
He kinda specializes in deep-south "good ol' boy" entertainment. I think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ought to buy/field a team for this league.Sports Moose Productions Announces Shooting for Erotic Horror Flick!
(Atlanta, Georgia) (May 21, 2003)- Don "Moose" Lewis, Managing Member of Sports Moose Productions, LLC, in Atlanta, Georgia, announces shooting will begin on October 18, 2003 for the original motion picture, "Down For the Count!" , an erotic horror flick with live professional wrestling scenes included in the picture from professional wrestling organization, Xtreme Wrestling Union, a partner in the project. The majority of the film will be shot in Atlanta, Georgia with some scenes shot on location at beach locales.
"We are casting for a leading actress along with supporting actresses immediately!" stated "Moose" Lewis. "This is not your ordinary "FFF"- femme fatale film-female actresses receive great parts and action in this movie. While this is targeted for a mature audience, this is much more than your ordinary "flesh mongrel" film. You do not want to miss a single second of this once you sit down to watch it!"
Sports Moose Productions, LLC recently completed a year of producing a weekly television wrestling show for USA Networks Broadcast stations, named "IWU Wrestling – The Max!" which produced weekly ratings higher than major sports events in the same time period. Production of the series was not renewed due to the stations being sold to the Spanish network, Univision. "Moose" Lewis is also the President of International Boxing Union , Inc. -a world wide boxing sanctioning body in which professional boxers fight for World Championship Titles. Additional members of the Limited Liability Company include C.C. McCubbins of Image Ten Productions and the son of golden era Hollywood legend Rod Cameron, Tony Cameron of Mammoth Pictures.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

There is nothing wrong with a 0-0 tie in basketball. The rest of the world, if not the US, would eat it up. Just re-label it as "indoor football (soccer)".

Re: Vocal Minority to Make its own Basketball Leauge
It's like the real uncos (uncoordinated) from school deciding that they want to take their game elsewhere because they are so useless at it. So they need to play with people of their skill level, or they get beaten out of sight. How sad.

Re: Vocal Minority to Make its own Basketball Leauge
Isn't that kinda why we have several divisions in a league...?
I play football in the same football series as people who make millions playing, but they play in the Elites(division 0), while I play all the way back in the 6th division....

Re: Vocal Minority to Make its own Basketball Leauge
Yeah, but aren't there already different levels of league or whatever? Why go and set up a completely separate system and only let in non black people (or is it whites only?)? The only reason I can see for that is stupidity and prejudice. If they are crap they can join division z or whatever, and play with fellow uncos who may or may not be black/non white but are presumably of similar ability.

That makes no sense, as "football" over here actually involves the foot touching the ball, opposed to Armoured Rugby, which you call "football".There is nothing wrong with a 0-0 tie in basketball. The rest of the world, if not the US, would eat it up. Just re-label it as "indoor football (soccer)".
Plus, we already have in-door football.

Re: Vocal Minority to Make its own Basketball Leauge
So Arnold and Willis could still play, yes? Well, actually, no because the rules say BOTH parents have to be Caucasian, and Mr. Whitey was a single father until he married that lady with the ugly kid.Are you talking about Different Strokes?
