They truly think they are indispensable to society. A bunch of millionaire narcissists telling many of their fans that they are racist and privileged to work all week to spend hundreds to attend one of their games in person to barely see anything since you're so far away.
Yeah, like their women's soccer that they want equal pay to men's despite earning 2% of the money. Let them dump money into subsidizing them. Maybe a hard-reset of the country is in order....take southern California, Northern Illinois, and much of the northeast. They can be a confederation of sorts, the liberals from other states can go live in those places. The conservatives can have the rest of the country, since liberals hate it so much anyway. The countries can have some sort of trade-agreement even.
College sports was doomed to be ruined once so much money became involved and now that players can make money while in school, that will be the end of college sports as we know it. You'll have star QB recruits who might become millionaires before stepping on campus, but those offensive linemen who have to protect them will be lucky to make anything from their likeness so how long before they decide it's not worth putting their bodies on the line to protect someone who gets all the spoils?
I agree. Years ago I worked at an ad agency, Nike was our client. We were pitching LeBron on an ad campaign and I had to take him and his entourage out one night. LeBron was about 18 or 19. Anyway, he and his friends sucked. Totally boring to talk to because they were so dim. Never have been a fan of his. So what he can play basketball... he’s still a tool.
Plus it's a stagnant game, no one passes the ball quickly anymore, it's a dribble, iso ball. And it's 3's and layups, no midrange game anymore. Borrrring! The only thing that sucks is my 12 year old son likes it and I enjoy doing things with him.
bingo. Every 'revolutionary' player is talked about breathlessly like his skill-set is unique "HE CAN DRIVE TO THE HOLE FOR A DUNK OR COME OFF A SCREEN FOR A 3!!". Wow. It's like a movie that over-uses special effects, it's just boring after a while. There's a happy medium between the 80-75 rock-fights we had in the late 90s and the spam-3s ball we have now.
You could still play with your son, no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Someone else explained that restarting July 30th means this season will be ending right when next season starts. They're just using social justices as an excuse to end this season because it isn't really feasible.
It's like when celebrities didn't want to get married and said they're making a sacrifice and refusing to get married until gay people could too.
A quick trip to Duck Duck Go gives us this article from February 2020 which provides the following relevant quotes:
National television viewership for NBA games has nosedived 12 percent since this time last season, according to a report from Sports Business Daily.
ABC ratings are down a whopping 16 percent, and that's the network that carries the Finals. "ABC, in particular, was hurt by lower numbers on Christmas and a slower start for its Saturday night slate," Sports Business Daily reported.
Meanwhile, TNT viewership is down 13 percent and ESPN is down 10 percent.
So even before these fucking idiots started virtue signalling their overpaid guts out, viewership was down.
Since then people have discovered that there are other things to do than watch sports ... like getting pissed off at privileged thugs telling them that they are racist.
THere will be a point where all of these stupid virtue signaling decisions will make the problem worse - and it will take a vast amount of cognitive dissonance (thinking emperor wears no clothes level) for people to finally realize it doesn't work. in the meantime, they will keep saying, well it doesn't work because we haven't gone far enough. lol
“Discussing”... 😂
They’re not doing SHIT! All talk! These are the same assholes that can’t be seen in the same Gucci outfit twice. These fags are not giving up their fruity ass lifestyle for anything.
Can we start by having the NBA being proportional to the society, why do black players get to be represent in the league the most, we want to see more latino, south east asians, asians, and white folk in the league. I say strike till your demands get met!
We won’t miss the overpaid assholes. To be honest if a height limit was installed it would make the game more enjoyable as it wouldn’t be so exclusionary to height impaired players.

1000% agree. I get the feeling this may be the last college football season I watch.
It’s coming 100%
You didn’t have long to wait. Adjust your viewership accordingly. Texas getting ready to capitulate
UFC has been back and the action without the fans is better since you can hear the shots. Dana White isn't a soy boy
Hey! Leave hockey alone!
Did Lebron even finish high school?

Best news ever.
Bye go home to mommy
The NBA is an unwatchable product these days anyway. Bye bitches!!!
100% agree. The refs don't call anything and literally allow the players to travel all over the court.
Plus it's a stagnant game, no one passes the ball quickly anymore, it's a dribble, iso ball. And it's 3's and layups, no midrange game anymore. Borrrring! The only thing that sucks is my 12 year old son likes it and I enjoy doing things with him.
Not to mention you can't touch anybody without it being a foul
The NBA will fold I think. The dumb uneducated players think their salaries grow on trees...
I think their salaries might start to grow in china.

I grew up watching Magic/Bird and then Pistons/Jordan. I want those days back.
Please let their stupidity and wokeness destroy the league.
Maybe every NBA player should step up and donate to charities that focus on “social justice issues”. Lebron can step up and give millions.
No basketball?
HallefuckinLujah
They are the ones with millions of dollars each.

DEFUND THE NBA
Overpaid kiddie fucking jocks say what?
Please! Don’t come back until y’all start advocating for equal treatment instead of black supremacy.
How many levels of stupid are these twats?

People cutting cable also had something to do with that.
Have fun playing in China
...where the populace literally talks racist shit right to black people's faces like they are there for their entertainment.
Money talks
Please do not come back, and oh BTW, give all your money to the cause you are so committed to. Bunch a whinny SOB's.
You play a fucking game, get paid millions, SHUT THE FUCK UP already.
"Bye Felicia."
Since they will never be appeased, maybe we are in luck and the NBA will go away
stop wasting your time watching other people play a game. Play some yourself. exercise. do a project. turn off the programming and placating device
Yea bro I just stick to MMA. Real Man/Woman vs real Man/Women. Team sports are full of pansies.
Ok.
Bye.

Says the league with 90% (or whatever) blacks. LMAO fuck right off.
You mean a league filled with a bunch of boys who didn’t have fathers to make sure they became men are whining like women? Good for them.
YES!!!!! NO PLAY, NO PAY!! Buh bye! We had the Last Dance to watch and are good with hopes for another 30 years. Eff off.
Zero fucks given here. No sense in funneling millions of dollars to tribalistic entertainment.
This just saves us a tiny bit of effort around boycotting them.
“Discussing”... 😂 They’re not doing SHIT! All talk! These are the same assholes that can’t be seen in the same Gucci outfit twice. These fags are not giving up their fruity ass lifestyle for anything.
JImmy butler will come back because he is from texas
What's sad though is all the local businesses and jobs sports do support which would suffer. Agree though, fuck these clowns.
They've outlived their value.
I don’t think I’ve sat down and watched a full NBA game since Kobe’s last game.
Basketball is a garbage sport anyway
Who cares? Haven't watched it in years anyway. Bye!
They should move their little league to Chi-na. Chi-na.
Fuck off you entitled bastards. You make plenty of money sit in air conditioned rooms & have nice cars.
In current times of social media attention, the greatest whore is the one who sustains emotional outrage. Add to the dogpile, you hypocrites.
BTW: basketball was invented by a white guy - I guess all blacks should protest & quit. Go ahead - I’ll wait ....
.... the more you know! Sorry faggots, you'll have to get a job based on the education you got while at school. BBWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Would hope that means they don't get paid their million dollar salaries as well.
Oh Please...Pleaseeeee
I am sure the Chinese can deliver them all the social justice they so richly deserve! Have fun with your ChiComBA

Please do this idiots. You will not be missed.
how many games/championships are decided by complete nonsense ref calls. NBA is really bad in this dept.
Oh please don’t come back!
Maybe if they kneel more often, racism will be cured.
