Good.

I hope the league folds and they all have to get real jobs.

In the weeks that follow the closure of the season...I’d expect the owners to huddle and discuss this ‘mess’ they’ve been handed. Profit from the TV contract continues, but once this TV contract runs out...I’d expect the networks to trim their offering for the new contract by a minimum of 30-percent.

If you count in Covid-seating and marginal interest in fan merchandise...you gotta resolve this problem in the next twelve months or tell the players to face up to a salary cut coming down the line.

Maybe they can all work at COSTCO(low seniority) helping people get boxes off the second shelf.

The ratings crash, what could it possibly be? What motive?

I think a lack of diversity is hurting them. They need women players.

In both the NBA and the NFL, it should be great to see what happens when the revenues are down, and the new player contracts come up.

They won’t be able to pay these players the money they expect. We shall see, when that happens, just how “woke” the filthy morons really are.

My guess is they will buckle to the green.

There are several reasons for this - ratings would probably have been a bit higher if the Celtics had made it to the Finals instead of the Heat, bringing the latest chapter in the fabled Celtics-Lakers Finals rivalry.

But NBA people telling themselves that the endless political posturing and the open advocacy of radical left-wing groups has nothing to do with this are kidding themselves. The NBA has politicized itself, and by doing so it has permanently alienated a large segment of the American populace, just as Hollywood has.

Maybe LeBron should make another speech?

The financial situation in the NFL is even more dire.

Can the NFL even finish the season?

The NFL just canceled a game because two exceptionally fit young men tested positive for corona virus.

If just two sick guys can cancel a game, there will be more canceled games every week. Make up games? Essentially impossible with a weekly schedule and a maximum of one game per week.

Financially...

Very few NFL players have guaranteed contracts beyond one year. The risk of injury and declining skills is just too high.

Only big name free agents and First Round draft choices get 3-4 years of guaranteed money - and it is quite possible that their contracts do not pay out if the season is canceled because of a contagious disease.

Also, at least 60% of NFL players get paid LESS than a million dollars a year.

After income tax, FICA, Medicare, and union dues, most of them are lucky to take home $400,000.

Factor in child support, and most of the NFL guys will be bankrupt in two years.
