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.

Oh, is there an Olympics happening?
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.
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:
WHAT! Gable Steveson wins 125kg wrestling gold AS TIME EXPIRES | Tokyo Olympics | NBC Sports

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.
Get woke, go broke.
Hey NBC, how much did you pay to televise this shit show?
Named for Dan Gable! Amazing victory.
It’s like a birthed destiny coming to pass.
The badminton gold was dished out. Why watch any further?
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.
