A trend of low ratings throughout the NBA postseason has now reached the NBA Finals. And hit it hard.
Game 1 of the Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat brought in only 7.41 million viewers to ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That is reportedly the lowest viewership seen for the Finals since at least 1994, when total viewers began to be regularly recorded.

Many have had enough of the antics of LeBron Gorilla!
They shot day own cash cow in da drive by.
Day was aiming for the horse, but unfortunately Bessy was caught in the crossfire hurricane accordins to misser Jagger -> Right over there.

FU NBA
Hah, black dives matter !
Leni
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!
The NBA does *not* matter.
Now that I think about it, the owners might be on to something. Why not re-shuffle the deck.
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?
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.
One unpatriotic viewer is too many!
“Factor in child support, and most of the NFL guys will be bankrupt in two years.”
Now where did I put that ‘tiny violin’?
Game? What game? I didn’t see no stinkin’ game!
Trump landslide.
Lebron is out to ruin the NBA as he is essentially past his peak...and doesn’t care about the remaining players...
If you axe me, FU NBA.
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.
