It’s a 100% reduction in our household.
The media will say it’s because we’re racist now.
I have watched less sports because I am not at the wing bar with the big TVs and tasty cold ones served in Buckets. I went there to hang out with other couples without getting my grill dirty.
With the sound on at home, the games are less interesting when the sounds are only former jocks talk about current jocks being brave.

...34.5 percent of respondents saying they have watched less sports due to socialist justice campaigns.
the NBA, which is horrible basketball... is ChiCom owned
cable/satellite fees are going up as the network bankroll sports - cut the cord if you can
It’s awesome, and I’m never coming back. That goes for the NFL, the NCAA, and both the USWNT and the USMNT.
Hockey is the only sport that matters.
The only sport I watch now is Hockey.
NBA, NFL, MLB, and any other sport that allows it’s employees to disrespect my nation and by association my service to this nation, can go pound sand. I will not spend a dime, I will not watch, I will not follow the standings. I no longer care.
The “watched more” number is BS. That’s just liberals trying to skew the poll.
What is really interesting to me, a guy who once had an Angel’s game or Ducks game on TV every night, how easy it is to ignore. Also, how childish the games and the presentation of them is once you stop caring. The Ducks weren’t involved in the protests last year so I thought I would watch them until they gave me reason to stop, but I haven’t watched a gave this season, and don’t miss it.
NB what?
The NBA still has ratings ?
The only sport I’ve ever followed has been NASCAR. Couldn’t care less about Football, Basketball or anything else. However, I always said that if I ever started to follow football, I’d be a Redskins fan, but then they caved.
NASCAR caved and lost my support. (I was actually working with Dover Speedway to have my employer exhibit at their fanzone. Not anymore)
I’ve wanted to see a Cup series dirt race for years. Yesterday they covered Bristol Speedway with several feet of dirt and raced. I watched for about five minutes and found that I just don’t care enough to invest my time.
“ 11 percent of people said they have watched more sports as a result of the social justice messaging, and 56.3 percent said they have watched the same amount.”
It’s really closer to 56.3%. Anyone who is watching for SJW virtue signaling will soon get bored and leave too. No real fans watch sports for that reason.
I love social justice messaging. Now I am going to become a football fan. I really like that Kapernick guy. I am going to be a fan of his team. I am going to need some help understanding the game of football and how they use their feet on the ball. First thing I want to know is why is the ball not round like other games that I don’t understand? And really even though I have spent my entire life being down on dumb mouth breathing jock types, now I am going to like them.
That is not true! The NBA has high-priced consultants telling them they don’t know why their ratings are falling. /sarc
NO.
Social justice lecturing, impugning, and insulting. And doing it in a venue where that's is the LAST thing you want to hear.
Honestly, I don't know how anyone can watch an NBA game and I don't understand how the league has any following at all. And how do teams afford to pay those astronomical salaries? If TV viewership is down then revenues are down. But then, I watch golf....
