I’m praying that that’s already happened. “Alienating and Cratering”.
Theyre big boys. They ALL know what theyre doing. Screw em.
Screw these over-paid whiny boys for playing boys’ games and getting riches beyond their importance.
The NBA was actually increasing its viewership into last year, contrary to what the writer says. But they were always a poor third to MLB and NFL, and now they have pretty well fouled their own nest. For a game that boils down to dribble pass dribble shoot, as my daughter once said, they have taken a gamble they cannot afford to lose. Not a fan anyway, but watching the debacle is more fun than watching a game.
Hopefully theyve bankrupted themselves. And if not yet, then soon. We arent giving a penny to watch them play
I haven’t seen any ratings/viewership numbers since the MLB and NHL cancelled/delayed games late last week.
I have seen articles indicating that both MLB and NHL are losing ticket holders and some sponsors.
here’s hoping they all just cease existence
“pro athletes threaten to alienate fans and crater their own industry.”
EXCELLENT NEWS!
Get Woke.
Go Broke.
NFL, NBA, MLB are dead to me.
I’m done with organized rip-off, overpaid, undereducated professional athletes (sorry the good ones have to suffer because of the racist and Marxist fools amongst them).
I’ve noticed that Target is not restocking sports trading cards (ex. no Topps Series 1 & 2; No Donruss; no Prestige or Absolute; almost nothing from Panini except NASCAR (great cards - the best ever made). No SCORE.
These are the most commonly collected, affordable basic cards to collect. If this is a sign of hesitation or withdrawal (at least for this year) from major production then someone is getting the message from the consumer - IT’S OVER for this season.

That ship sailed a long time ago.

I understand being into sports if you are playing yourself or have some personal connection like to one of the players. But otherwise popular sports in general are way too abstract for my taste. I’m the type thats more into MMA or hunting or gladiatorial combat if it still existed. Something more concrete and functional. I always thought the idea of being invested in dizzy privileged millionaires punching around a ball was a bit silly. I guess this latest nonsense just seals it.
Let them bur and the cities who ponied up the cash for staudium should sue sue sue!
Boycott? I thought when employees got together and refused to work it is called a strike.
Well thats just how capitalism works.
why pay hundreds of dollars to go to a stadium when you’re just going to get drinks thrown at you and verbal abuse for not kneeling in submission to cancel-culture, only to find your vehicle vandalized in the parking lot for having the wrong bumper sticker?
Done.
Shhh...let’s just sit back and watch them implode. You’ll know it’s almost over when they again call us racists but this time for NOT watching their games.
