DAILY SHOW MOCKS ALL-WHITE BASKETBALL LEAGUE March 30, 2010

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.”

Yup! He proved how hilarious he could be in this clip.

Did you see how he rode the black player for complaining about a foul call? (Which was a Jason Jones comedy bogus foul) and how he accused the player of "stealing" the whistle from a white guy!

The problem was HE was serious but his lines could have been written by the Daily Show writers!!

Some of us can remember that the NBAs Best Professional Basketball on TV,

was in black and white and the players seemed white and the blue, green or black uniforms was the only black I remember.
