The NBA Commissioner is scrambling right now, trying to get rid of any and all BLM and political messaging from his league, as the entire bottom begins falling out of the National Basketball Association.

So, what’s happened to the King James NBA? Well, for starters, LeBron has absolutely destroyed it, top-to-bottom and inside out.

LeBron James has proudly and arrogantly led the NBA down the doomed SJW path, not giving a damn what the fans, who pay his salary, thought about it.

Once again, US organizations and corporations read the room wrong and jumped into full “BLM” support after the death of George Floyd, not considering for one moment that 1) Americans don’t need social justice or politics in their sports ever and 2) Americans can feel bad about George Floyd without supporting Marxist BLM.

These companies and sports franchises will learn the very hard and painful way that just because a small but very loud mob supports social justice and progressive politics, doesn’t mean the silent majority does. And it looks like school is already in session...

Isn’t it racist for us to let the NBA falter? Isn’t it too big to fail?

Which takes 30 minutes to play.

The NBA is global now.

TV/live stream viewing is the big game, followed by merchandising. Yeah, they have taken a hit in terms of live attendance, and the legacy networks are continuing to subside as major platforms.

But with their global growth, they’ll do okay.

Maybe it can go back to the 70s when Finals games were shown on tape delay.

Not really. George Floyd killed himself with poor lifestyle choices.

And yet the league sees enough value in its product to ask for a 3X increase from their current $25B deal with the networks, according to reports:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/22/nba-is-next-up-for-a-big-rights-increase-and-75-billion-is-the-price.html

As long as these woke networks are willing to fork over such money, the league could not care less who’s watching or not.

while the kids like to wear some NBA players jersey or shoes it is white men who go to the games.
Old white men do not care to be hassled about crap during sports.
Piss off those who go to the games and it will not end well.
And to watch the crap on tv while also being derided for being white fails mightily .

Pro bowling PBA seems to be gaining steam.

...although there are no black pro bowlers I’m aware of except for the hats.
