In January, basketball fans were greeted with the shocking news that a man sought to create a whites-only basketball league. The outrageous plan elicited a loud public reaction, with Charles Barkley calling the league "blatantly racist."
The league's commissioner, Don "Moose" Lewis, eventually admitted that the league promotes segregation and simultaneously proposed a whites-vs.-blacks game called "snowball vs. bro ball."
The league, which has yet to actually set up shop anywhere, escaped media attention during much of the following months, but it's back in the spotlight thanks to "The Daily Show."
Daily show corresondent Jason Jones speaks with the league's commissioner, who continues to defend the league.
“Moose has a dream,” said Jason Jones, “ a dream that someday basketball players will not be judged by the quality of their skills but by the content of their skin color.”
