It was on the Daily Show tonight. When the clip comes out, check it out.

Simply unbelievable.
It'd be the Brian Scalabrine/Shawn Bradley All-Star League.
Finally a refuge for the Gerry McNamaras of this world!
There will be a league waiting for him where 6'4" power forwards are a hot commodity.
Blanchard, Horton, C Sims, Pettway, Abrams, D Harris, M Harris.
What? Maybe James Voskul, but isn't he busy being a rocket scientist?
I didnt know the premise of the league. Stupid idea.
KKK basketball? Ugh, it'd be a league full of overweight skinheads that got picked last in gym class.
White people can't jump, it's true, really...at least I can't. Sam McGuffie can, but he's probably too not rascist for the "organizers."
If you watched the daily show last night then you would know that the guy organizing this league, besides being a racist, is an absolute moron. there is no feasible way that this league will ever take off the ground unless some more intelligent racists decide to buy it out. And intelligent racists without their own television show are extremely rare.
No exactly, thats why its so damn ridiculous. The Daily Show piece was one the funniest things I've seen in a while.
Its amazing how stupid some people can be.
Colbert actually did a piece on it a few months back...
Plus, Colbert with big fake tits!

Not exactly to what?
When the mayor cited the "inclusiveness" of Augusta, it made me laugh. This is the town whose country club went as far as to put trees and bunkers in Tiger Woods' landing areas on at least four holes, and who did it strictly for racial reasons.
Augusta has actually succeeded in "Tiger-proofing" their course. They finally introduced luck into the equation, thus negating or severely reducing any edge that a golfer's talent would bring him over the rest of the field.
I would be willing to wager that their number of African-American members could be counted on the fingers of one hand.
While the golf club mignt not officially run the city, the people who make the decisions there in a de facto sense are pretty much those who run the club. For the majority of those people, "inclusiveness" is a lot more like that in Gone with the Wind than that of the 21st century.
Maybe they should call their team the Rhett Butlers.
