No diversity.
China is where it is for the NBA. Maybe they will start selling tickets there.
A good start!
Good. I hope they lose more fans.
A good start!
Get woke. Go Broke
Start an NBA game tied 99-99 with 30 seconds to go. Then hope there are entertaining commercials between time outs and fouls for the next 45 minutes.
It won’t matter to them. They will take it as a badge of honor. Plus they will be deemed too culturally important to fail and uncle Joe and the politburo will subsidize them.
But, he thinks that not doing that would alienate the players and social media, and believes that would be an even worse hit. So, he went full SJW.
I can understand the practical predicament that he is in, but...I don't care. I've been an NBA fan since 1976, a season ticket holder, and didn't watch a single game this year. And won't watch another ever again. I am not going to help finance an organization pushing ideas that I believe are racist and evil.
I stopped watching basketball after the NBA rigged the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns in 2007.
You wonder what would happen if a league formed that had 12 foot high rims and actual traveling calls.
The nba needs to burn the US flag at the game opening and beat a white man in pregame warmups...that should bring back the ratings...
That would be a positive. Read my tag line.
For a smart guy, Adam Silver seems to be a slow learner on this particular issue. Maybe he thinks his own job is being judged by the SJW cults.
Breaks my heart...not
It seems like every time the NBA is on free airwaves TV it is the LA Lakers verses some other team. I would prefer to see my home town nuggets from Denver on the free airwaves at least twice per season. The Lakers? What a turn-off.
I really do enjoy basketball, but I WILL NOT watch while these a-holes are spouting off nonsense, and BS; and kneeling and all that crap.
If the NBA wants to survive and grow for the next decade or so, they better put a clamp down on their players and coaches.
I haven’t watched an NBA game in ages so I am clueless as to whether they are kneeling during the anthem. Given the demographics of the players, I guess yes. Given the demographics of the audience not be the same demographic as the players (yes, translate that as white), I guess that might explain the 45% missing audience.
That’s a start. How many to go before we reach zero?
