"Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league,"
There is a segment of our society that was driven a little bit mad a year ago. They couldn't conceive that Their Country could have elected a black man, and they snapped. They groped for some explanation of how this could happen, and came to the conclusion that it couldn't have. Their Country has gone missing, and they wanted Their Country back. Just as Don "Moose" Lewis claims his all-white basketball league is not about racism, the shrill ,unfocused anxiety and rage of the Teabaggers is supposedly not about race. It's about how Obama (A big-business friendly corporatist centrist) Is enacting, somehow a vast and radical leftist agenda, he has appointed himself dictator, he's going to take your guns! Lots of vague fears expressed, but not the real one. "There's a black man in the white house! Lock up your daughters".
The AABA is a disturbing sign. The hate and fear are bubbling closer to the surface. The robes and ropes are being unpacked.
