    They could probably achieve their desired results by simply instituting a "no dunking" and "no tattoos" rule.

    Alternatively, they could adopt the CBA model. Only two black players allowed per team.

    Am I the only one who thinks that this basketball league is racist at the very least?

    I would put it differently -- it is a league catering to racists.

    aren't league organizers/officials automatically racists?

    The Kirkland King Kobras would fit in nicely in a league like this.

    No, it's just that everyone else thought it was so obvious, it didn't need pointing out.

    no doubt

    upon reading that, I assumed automatically that the organizers were\are probably members of Aryan Nation or KKK or some other group of dumb *****s

    This is the second blacks don't eat mayonnaise post I've seen on this board after New Yorker's. Where the heck is this coming from?

    Or for Kaplan SAT test prep, really expensive housing developments, savings accounts, or tanning salons. Or hair conditioner (whatever the hell that is).

    Is this really different then the WNBA? White men seem to have less athleticism then Black men. Seems like a league that would lose a lot of money.

    Except for the fact that white people have money, so you can exclusively cater to them and still make some cash. Same reason there will always be golf programming on a slow sports weekend, but you only see track and field every four years.

    WNBA is different because women are half the population, and the NBA sees itself as the standard bearer for the entire sport, so they don't mind being the one place top-level women can play ball. Also, they might attract women fans to the NBA, and provide a nice anti-thug image for the league.

    Except, I don't know how many white people are going to want to pay money to a racist organization to watch bad players play a boring brand of basketball.

    sometimes you say the wierdest things. do you think white people would really pay to see this?

    look, don't get me wrong and I may get blasted for this, but i think the there are a lot racial elements to complaints about the modern NBA, but I doubt this is a viable alternative

    They should hire the head of the WNBA.

    Assuming they're not sexist.

    I don't think there is. The game will be less exciting and it would get bad pub for not allowing black players. And what kind of players will go there? Rejects of the NBADL?
