That’s always been an issue for basketball. Constant flow of play and high scoring makes only the end of the game really dramatic (on occasion).

Yes, that is the most extreme, but in general they’re not too keen on non-Han Chinese—and non-Chinese of any type even moreso.

The Golden bubble will break and with it a new sport will be born—one without race as a vital element. Soccer anyone?

The NBA makes most of its money in the US. When they lose money in the US they are gonna feel it bad.
The NBA is not very popular in the UK for example where soccer is by far the most popular sport, sucking in most of the money.
The Chinese are currently pissed off with America and will watch their own basketball rather than the NBA.

Have you ever seen a washing machine in the spin cycle where the load is uneven? It will shake itself apart if left long enough.

That is America today.

The left has managed to gain control of much of America (education, sports, politics, and the media) where only one voice is being heard (or allowed).

There is no balance and America is shaking itself apart.

If balance is not restored, something is going to break.

The NFL is next.

NFL should have been first, but even a lot of Freepers can't quit the dopium.

At this point, they only exist for the gambling interests. Same with MLB going with a casino company to broadcast their games on a high pay channel (Bally). Neither cares a whit about the fans anymore. It’s all just money now.

The NBA is racist. No race diversity.

Blacks make up just 13 percent of the national population yet are at least 80 percent of the NBA players.

It doesnt matter that they are the best qualified for the job. That is a racist point.Diversity trumps all qualifications.

“Liberalism” 101

Actually I think maybe Ben Franklin may have said that, in Poor Richard’s Almanac. Barnum said, “There’s a sucker born every minute”. Both are true.

IMO, the MBA died when Michael Jordan retired. It was all basketball and no politics then.

Just have to watch the last two minutes of a game to see who won.


or watch the crawler at the bottom of most news channels.

PT Barnum said it best. A fool and his money are soon parted.

That was Thomas Tusser: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Tusser
