There's a term for when a basketball team (not named Gonzaga or BYU) puts five white guys out on the floor: Garbage time. No, that's not it. It's called a White Wash.

A new basketball league, which would be based in the deep South (I know, shocking!!), is set to attempt to field an entire league of Anglo players.

The All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA), based in Atlanta, announced in a press release early this week it plans to start its inaugural season this summer and hopes to field 12 teams.

A story in the Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle quotes the statement as saying, "Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league."

The story also quoted Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver, who has publicly expressed his support for minor league teams in the past, as saying he would not support this team. Augusta is one of the cities the league would like to house a team.

Don "Moose" Lewis, the commissioner of the AABA, in the same story said the reasoning behind the league's roster restrictions is not racism.

"There's nothing hatred about what we're doing," he 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."

"Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?" he said. "That's the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction."

I know there may be some people who think this is deplorable. I think it's hilarious. Don't these idiots know the NBA was an "all-white" for the first three years of its existence? The only people of color who were even allowed in NBA arenas until Nat Clifton was signed by the Knicks were the people cleaning the toilets.

I always thought sports was the ultimate equalizer. Sports, in my opinion, transcend race and color and allow people from all aspects of life to put their differences aside in support of a common goal.

"Moose" doesn't see it that way. And even though I in now way agree with what he's trying to do, I'm gonna help him out a bit.

Here are some ideas on how this league can succeed.

-Make the league's major sponsors Ritz, Saltines, Denny's and the NRA.

-Have all the games televised on CMT.

-Make Celtics benchwarmer Brian Scalabrine the face of the League.

-Propose that Wrangler get into the shoe game and have the company sign Indiana Pacer forward Josh McRoberts, Orlando Magic guard J.J. Redick and L.A. Laker Adam Morrison to lucrative deals.

-Suggest to Tommy Hilfiger that his company design league apparel.

-Make Tang the official drink of the league and have Chicago Bulls big man Brad Miller serve as official pitch man.

-Screen all prospective cheerleaders and make SURE their butts are as flat as a blown-out tire.

-Hire Don Imus to do play-by-play for the nationally-televised CMT games.

-Make football hall-of-famer Paul Hornung league commissioner.

-Name the MVP Award after David Duke.

-Name the championship trophy after Marge Schott.

-Hire Wayne Brady to host pre- and post-game shows.

-Make certain the only music played by a non-white artist in league arenas is by Darius Rucker. That or "Whoomp! There it is."

Here's the best idea: scrap the league and join everybody else in the 21st Century.
