NBA Game 1 Eastern Conference Ratings Crash, League Numbers Down 45% Since 2012
Breitbart ^ | September 17 2020 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

The NBA’s ratings continue to plummet as the league moves through its conference finals this year. However, the crash isn’t a new thing. It’s been going on since 2012.

Game 1 of the finals featuring the Heat and Celtics earned only 4 million viewers, down significantly from last year’s Bucks-Raptors game of 5.5 million viewers, Outkick reported.

The ratings crash is even worse going back a few seasons. In 2018, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cavs and Celtics saw 7.2 million viewers, making this year’s 4 million an even worse showing.

It will be excellent when the number is zero. This is a good start.

Blacks are 13% of the population, and about 20% of White people think they’re Black...

So when the finals are over and a champion is declared, what will be different than a antifa riot?

I haven’t watched any sports, mlb, nba, nfl, nhl, mls or nascar since they all took a hard left turn.

I actually thought nascar was a safe haven, then bubba came along and forced nascar to make a LITERAL left turn (in addition to on the track) which pi**ed me off. I haven’t watched since and couldn’t care less about any of them.

(spit)..

Only in America could someone as stupid as LeBron James become a multimillionaire. Try that kill set in Botswana. They’d have you killing small animals for dinner.

These professional sports leagues better wake up for real ASAP. Sure, they can pay their players insane amounts of money, but you can bet that advertisers are going to start demanding they pay less because of the lack of viewers. Then networks are going to start demanding they pay less as well. This will lead to a huge pay cut soon.
The “good times” are over. They went woke, and they better make changes or they WILL go broke.
