Nolte: Woketard Olympic Viewership Hits Two Record Lows, Two Nights In a Row
Breitbart ^ | 7 Aug 2021 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 08/07/2021 11:54:45 PM PDT by conservative98

The Woketard Olympics are officially a ratings catastrophe and are getting more catastrophic by the day. On Wednesday, the NBC Olympics’ telecast broke an all-time low of 14.6 million viewers. Then, on Thursday night, that record was broken again by an all-new low of just 13.3 million viewers.

In a country of 330 million-plus, fewer than five percent tuned in, lol.

Thursday night was a 42 percent drop from the Summer Rio Games in 2016. Wednesday was a 34 percent drop.

These are breathtaking numbers, an astonishing failure, especially when you’re talking about a one-year delay of the Games caused by the China Flu, which should’ve boosted anticipation. Not to mention the fact that a lot of people are still staying home due to the virus. Aaaaand, on top of all that, the Woketard Olympics can now be watched everywhere due to NBC’s streaming and online services.

It should be noted that these awful, horrible, humiliating numbers do include the numbers across all viewing platforms, including streaming.

There is no excuse for these numbers. None. There is a reason, though – Woketardism.

Oh, wait… It’s gonna get better:

The numbers are likely to dip further on the final three nights of the Games. In all-but-one Olympics this century (2010 being the exception), the final Friday and Saturday of competition averaged fewer viewers than the preceding Thursday.

Lol.

Woke is ratings death.

And it’s not hard to figure out why.

One of the primary attractions of sporting events is rooting for someone. But once you become a woketard, you immediately morph into an entitled, unlikable, smug, hectoring, and unappealing pain in the ass no one wants to root for.

I haven't watched....but, I do watch some short highlights on you tube....

the ladies won the 400x4 race with Allyson Felix winning her 11th goal, making her the American with the most medals all time and she was very graceful afterwards....she ran with Mohammad, Sidney, and a newcomer, 19, who is American born but of Sudanese heritage....

there have other good things too....

but won't waste my time with the commie networks...

I think the ads have been woke, as well.

It was nice to see Karch Kiraly coach the women's volleyball team to their first Olympic gold medal.

I remember watching him decades ago when he played.

The women and men who won the final two track relays tonight were proud to win for America and their families. Let’s not let the SJW purple hairs deprive them of their hard earned reward.

BLacks comprise 13% of the US population. Whites comprise 13% of the ads Not sure how getting “wokeness” rammed down ones throat by some corporation is going to increase their revenue.

This was one of most incredible (ending) wrestling matches I’ve ever seen:

Sometimes I’ll turn to my spouse and make the comment “Are we living in Uganda and watching a local channel?”. It becoming that absurd.

This was the equivalent of someone like MJ hitting a 3 pointer with 1 second to go in game 7 of an NBA Final while being down by 2 points.

Miss the whole Olympic. Not even a second. Do not care!
The sport is not what it used to be anyway. Overpaid professionals, with unhealthy specialized muscles, blown out of proportions by chemistry. Kind of a freak show.

The badminton gold was dished out. Why watch any further?

I remember Dan Gable winning a wrestling gold medal but that's about all I knew about him until ESPN highlighted his career not too long ago.

Gable's high school and college career record was an incredible 181–1, with his only loss being in the final match of his final season to Larry Owings of the University of Washington.

Bad enough these morons are taking a knee at US games; but when they take it at the Olympics, with the whole world watching is inexcusable. No positive side to disrespecting our country, don’t come home.
