A sport invented by a White man.
Cultural appropriation.

NBA stands for Never Be an A&^%&^%.

Let us see how long it takes them to figure it out!

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.

Now that I think about it, the owners might be on to something. Why not re-shuffle the deck.

I'm not a sports person as the only sports I watch are thing that will put food on the table: hunting, fishing, etc.

So this NBA thing, is it like a medicine or something like that? The best I figured it was maybe like ExLax,that help you to sh!t when you feel a bit constipated. Right?

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.

Lebron is out to ruin the NBA as he is essentially past his peak...and doesn’t care about the remaining players...

In the article they can’t even admit the real reason. Of course they mention it, but say that’s a small part. What a crock. it is 100% THE REASON. All this SJW BS is killing all pro sports. Piss on ‘em.

Lakers & Heat. Reading this story is the first time I learned these two teams are in the finals.

If lebron wins he will only have 2 less rings than Jordan.
