Viewership is down over 70% from last year.....NBA has become a total joke.
I'm still watching but its b/c the HEAT are playing.
I still dont buy it that "politics are social justice" are the MAIN reason why there are lower ratings.
Game 1 and 2 were still the MOST watched shows of the nite.
I assume Sunday nite football had better ratings than game 3?
With more people cutting the cord, rating will continue to go down.
Have rating been higher in anything these past few months?
And for those reading this and thinking to themselves "liberal blah blah blah", then please explain why the NHL stanley cup finals were down 61%, Kentucky Derby ratings were down 43%, and Indy 500 ratings were down 32%???

NBA too much black love for me, these guys couldn't give two shits about me or any other white Americans, so fuck them. I get the other sports could care less about me or the next white guy, just feels like something I can pass on.
Years ago, I would never have predicted that I would not watch ESPN in the future, but that is the case today. The whole country went about three months without sports and a lot of us were surprised that we didn't miss it. I do watch football mainly for fantasy and wagering, but other than that, really no interest in MLB or NBA.
The idiot has 2 false beliefs going
1. I still dont buy it that "politics are social justice" are the MAIN reason why there are lower ratings.
Yes when you pretty much tell half+ the country off the bat ..FU then that is going to be a problem
2. His comments about white guys on the Heat shows he still doesnt understand that BLM is NOT a black vs white issue.
It is about Marxism/Socialism/Communism vs a Democracy, this has almost NOTHING to do with social justice for black people.
Running the finals (or stanley cup) in early October during the thick of football season was always going to cause a ratings decline, having it say "Love us" or "Say Their Names) is only going to exacerbate that (most guys just seems like it says the apolitical "vote" now and that is the main message pushed from what I've seen)
There is your summation, why is this issue so fascinating to people?
Like I said, they're just gonna import more viewers anyway. They're good...

even funnier is you think that this has something to do with the amount of white guys on a roster (wtf?)
and that being on ABC, free tv, makes this less significant? talking lowest in 40 years and you don't need cable or streaming package to watch. only competition on a friday night was padres/cards wild card game...and nobody watched the supposed biggest star playing for the league's most important team
