In the world of Don “Moose” Lewis, only white men can jump and that’s why he’s launching a professional basketball league made up exclusively of American-born Caucasians.
Blacks and immigrants need not apply to the All-American Basketball Alliance.
Lewis, an Atlanta-based wrestling and boxing promoter, told FOX News Radio the AABA will play in at least 12 cities — mostly in the South.
Only players that are national born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league, he said.The plans for an all-white team have been met with shock and outrage – especially in Augusta, GA – where Lewis wants to field a team.
“Apparently, it’s not a hoax – it’s serious,” Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver told FOX News Radio. “To me the idea is ludicrous. I don’t think there is anyone in the city of Augusta that would want to be associated with it.”
Lewis denied claims by critics that he is a racist. “If I was a true racist, I wouldn’t allow Jews – Catholics – I wouldn’t allow any of these people.”
