I had hoped for lower numbers than that.

The Harlem Globetrotters were playing.

The rule here should be when sports cease to be fun and an escape, folks turn it off.

One of my former clients is now the president of an NBA team. I’ll know for sure that the league is doomed when this person makes a career change.

If we pay for political propaganda designed to destroy our way of life—who are the fools?

It’s a nice quote, but Larry Bird never said it. It’s an internet fake.

Lowest in only 5 years? I want to see it the lowest in 45 years.

As you say, 6+ years old. But 45% of viewership of the NBA was black, while 40% was white and 12% was Hispanic. That might explain why the drop for the playoffs is *only* 23%. Black Americans are still supporting the NBA.

It’s got NOTHING to do with corona virus.

lebron would be a bench warmer in the Magic/Bird/Jordan era.

The one thing nba players can NOT do is actually play the game. They cannot dribble, shoot nor play defense. All they can do is run down the court and slam dunk to make the tv highlights.

Zero new original programming on TV. My favorite shows are suspended

Folks are hungry for content and looking for something to do.
Recognizing all the eyeballs available to tune in, Sports changes course and broadcasts politics and the Kapernick nonsense.

WTF, not surprised folks turn off the games

You would think with everybody home, people would especially want to watch sports on TV.

Maybe a lot of people are turned off hearing a bunch of millionaires in sports uniforms lecturing about how miserable and oppressed they are and how whitey is to blame for all their problems.
