In a news release Sunday, the All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA) announced in a statement, “Only players that are natural-born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league.”
According to NBC Sports , Don “Moose” Lewis, the commissioner of the AABA and former pro-wrestling promoter, hopes to get the league started in 12 southeastern cities.
Lewis told the Chronicle it has nothing to do with 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."
