Here is the deal, there is simply NO WAY both the NBA finals and the NFL would have suffered such a catastrophic collapse in their TV ratings if President Trump were behind in the polls.
After all, it was President Trump who called on Americans to boycott NBA NFL games over their disrespect for the flag. As it turns out, most Americans agreed with him.
Slow Joe and the Dems strongly took a knee with the overpaid BLM backing millionaires of pro sports.
Its impossible for Trump to be behind by what was it, 16 points from CNN, even while most Americans show they agree with him, and huge numbers show up for Trump's rallies even as Slow Joe struggles to get even 20 people to attend any rally of his.

With the NFL you could make a case that projecting the national election is a case of selection bias because the fans tend towards conservative...but not the NBA...

There’s been a lack of interest in NBA for years. I recall that there was college wrestling on that had more viewers than NBA. Granted it was Penn State and Iowa, but I would choose wrestling over basketball any day.

Maybe the bosses and sponsors of the BLM conscious NFL and NBA should send thugs to houses and shake the people and shout they are racists for not watching them on TV.

So there./S

Ratings were down mostly because you had a couple 0-3 teams that are going nowhere playing each other. On top of that, 0-3 Denver was missing its starting qb, and started an undrafted free agent.

A better measure would be the Patriots (even without Cam) and the Chiefs on Monday night.

Still pleased as punch that Joe Burrow got a $24 million signing bonus while ratings plummet.

Death of competitive sports going just as planned

The left hates all our institutions but especially male dominated ones, football anyone?

Crush that toxic masculinity at all costs and the real irony...transgender nonsense will destroy women’s sports.

The kneeling fools won’t quit until their usefulness ended.

I'm just waiting for Elway to be run out of town. He knows it's coming, he's sold his car dealerships, he doesn't appear in any commercials anymore.

Far cry from when every house I delivered to had a shrine to Elway and the Broncos in the front room.

NBA and NFL players themselves should be made to cleanup the destruction that the “peaceful” BLM and AntiFa protestors inflicted upon this country.
