I dont watch sports, but if i did, i sure as hell wouldnt be now. its an addiction and the only thing many people have, so the drop makes sense. My wife comes from a big spectator family, they are all loaners who dont watch anything else. If they arent at work or sleeping, they are watching a sports channel, guarranteed. Come to think of it, they are all on antidepressants too, i wonder if theres a connection?
I'm sure there's a lot of interplay between cause and effect (classic example of "Correlation does not equal causation"), but Im also dead certain that passive inactivity, especially indoor sedentary TV watching makes depression worse.
Take your Vitamin D folks! No joke, in a matter of hours I went from depressed (spent 5-6 years living depressed and not really knowing why) to my ‘normal’ self I remember being as a kid and HS/college. I was SUPER deficient in Vitamin D and learned that most people are. If you don’t get a few hours of sun everyday you need to take Vitamin D supplement. Life has changed forever :)
Take up a sport that you can actually play. Or a new hobby. Ive been a mountain biker for over 30 years, we have had a shit ton of new people come into it, and road biking too. Shit, you cant by a bike right now. But if you have one, get out and ride it.
I recently started playing pickleball, you probably havent heard of whats become the fastest growing sport. I havent met anyone who came out and played who didntget hooked. If you have courts nearby (they are converting tennis courts and/or lining them for pickleball) its pretty much a standing thing that people play 8a on the weekends. Its big with seniors and retirees and i dont care what shape you are in or how athletic you think you are, but you are going to be getting beat by 75 year old ladies for some time. In doubles anyway which is the most fun. We get 25-40 people on the weekends and its at a rural park, but as its a growing sport, people are really welcoming.
But yeah, if you are bored because you miss watching garbage, fish, hike, play disc golf, camp, etc. I dont go to a gym, im triathlete fit, all my activities are for fun, with exercise being a side benefit, they are all free after buying the equipment required. Im never sitting sown long enough to watch sports.
You're just going to see more hunters. It is happening.
Fishing is different. I always thought it was a super laid back hobby until I went offshore. I have heard of guys exchanging gunfire over secret fishing spots, I shit you not. Some of these boys take that shit seriously.
But you need a boat to do that on your own so that will keep out the riffraff that can't afford such a luxury like me.
I live next to a fairly small man made lake. There might be a couple of dozen fish there. Yet every day there are multiple people just sitting there with fishing poles.
Oh im with you. I go to the woods for solitude, im usually solo 90% of the time. The places where i go will never be crowded, because its too much work to get there. I just went on a two night solo mtb trip, and didnt see a soul the whole time.
Awesome, yeah its fun, i always hated the name, i call it better tennis.
My brother plays everyday and he started keeping track of scores and the ages of the players to verify what we suspected. His data showed that it favors older players (doubles anyway). Anecdotal, but has been my experience. It really shouldnt favor one gender or the other, but men excel over women. Funny because 90% of the women are the very competitive type, but if you try to go 2 males against two females, they always bitch.
Didn't even know they were playing, let alone the playoffs. Spoiled multi-millionaire's playing a kids game, pretending they are slaves while bowing down to the Chinese Communist Party.
Their ratings have fallen 45% from 2011-2012. That was a strike year with a shortened season so the statistics people are pointing to that year as the best possible barometer to compare this year's numbers against. The highest rated NBA game last weekend had less than 3 million viewers.
Tucker Carlson has more than that on a cable news show.
For anything on "cable" to have higher ratings than a nationally televised live sporting event is completely unprecedented, as far as I know.
But here is the very best part that few know (I didn't until I read about it yesterday) the NBA's TV deal is up and they are due to negotiate a new one THIS YEAR.
I have heard this will mean a contraction in revenue and a decrease in player salaries but I will believe that when I see it. I just really want to see it I think.
It will absolutely mean that, you think advertisers are touching this piece of shit with a 10' pole? Maybe some woke cuck company that sells glow-in-the-dark butt-plugs, but like Visa or whoever? Not a chance. If ratings are down this badly after we've had no sports for half the year, imagine next season? They're going to be off over 50% from highs.
I emailed Turner and asked them to put AEW back in its time slot since NBA ratings are tanking and they don't seem to want to play. I think I speak for plenty of Americans that would rather watch a fake sport over a real woke sport any day.
Maybe if they would have lionized a rapist criminal a little harder and lectured us about imagined grievances a little louder then more people would watch!
I was never the biggest fan of the NBA. However, I usually had the game on in the background and would certainly watch the playoffs.
Now, I will not watch a single minute of that socialist loving organization. It would be like watching a 3 hour infomercial supporting leftist causes.
Now that’s my choice. I would just add that they foolishly believe they are making some kind of social justice statement. In reality by introducing politics they are going to kill the golden goose. The NBA is dying and we will be better off without it.
23% isn't nearly enough of a loss. It tells me there's a lot more acceptance for Marxism and white hate than I would assume there actually is in America. I'm not a huge person for boycotts, but as a consumer, if I go to the store and there are signs strategically placed around the store that say, "Fuck you, bill_in_Texas," I'm going to take my business elsewhere. The NBA is literally shoving their hate in our faces. Only losing 23% of their audience makes me think that we are the minority the left tells us we are.
People are missing how dramatic that is. I know people want them to be down 80% or something...but look at it this way: We've had no sports for MONTHS. The league organized this really unique tournament to get a spot in the playoffs. Their ratings were ALREADY down last year.
Most importantly: Advertising dollars aren't based on ranges THAT big...they may be based on a +/- 2% range or something. The idea that ratings are going to plummet by a QUARTER, in THIS scenario where cucks are "sports starved" is going to CRUSH the league.

WAY too high.
I dream of pissing on its ashes!
We all need to PRAY that the Houston Rockets get through to next round of the play offs tonight.
They’re not broadcast in China so the next round against the Lakers, which would typically be a huge series, will lose even more in terms of money.
Fuck it, I hope the rockets take it to the final!😂
And that's coming off a five-month period of ZERO sports, where people should be starving for action.
Personally, I am starving for action. But I am using my willpower and better judgement to not turn on the shit.

It is actually way worse than this.

Oh, so just like CNN?
Cool!
Good... maybe all our players and teams can move over there also.. Hell please take the fans also. America well be better off!
It will absolutely mean that, you think advertisers are touching this piece of shit with a 10' pole? Maybe some woke cuck company that sells glow-in-the-dark butt-plugs, but like Visa or whoever?

23% those are rookie numbers. Lets see a viewership drop of 100%
Good fuck them. THE RATINGS WILL CONTINUE TO DROP UNTIL MORALE IS IMPROVED
We can still do better, fuck those entitled thugs.

What is this NBA?
An anti-woman organization who supports criminals who rape (Jacob Blake) and assault women (Fentanyl Floyd).
hhhmmm....
I don't support those types of organizations.
They should be banned/boycotted.
))
5yrs ago this kneeling Started And the King James Was All ready Supporting it.🤡🌎🔥
We can go lower
https://www.itsalways.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Dennis-go-lower.gif
kick them where it counts. in the wallet.
Ray Charles could see this coming
Cancel all of it and Cut Cable and Sat. while at it.
Not nearly low enough. What the hell?
I havent missed the NBA playoffs since the 80s, when I stayed up late and watched them on tape-delay.
No pro sports anymore for me. Ill be at my kid's high school football games or will go cold turkey. Fuck em.
Who the hell are these other asshats watching
Kids.
Maybe if they would have lionized a rapist criminal a little harder and lectured us about imagined grievances a little louder then more people would watch!
In five years? Thats a good start but it should be "lowest in history".
Watch Tour de France highlights instead. No PC BS -- cyclists are way too broke to go woke.
🇺🇸Get outside. Throw the ball with kids in your neighborhood. Build something for the future.🇺🇸
I was never the biggest fan of the NBA. However, I usually had the game on in the background and would certainly watch the playoffs.

The nba finals will see the biggest rating drop imo, this is because the finals historically draw the casual fan, who is done with this bullshit.
Is there a way to send them a negative view?
23% isn't nearly enough of a loss. It tells me there's a lot more acceptance for Marxism and white hate than I would assume there actually is in America.

There are NO Sports on Accept this and nobody want to watch it!!!!!!

We need to pump those numbers up.
I legitimately didn't know the playoffs had started. They're halfway over.
