I believe it. Usually during NBA season, I see a number of people on my timeline talking about watching the finals, regardless of who's playing. This year? ONE PERSON. And it's a girl who is blind as a bat when it comes to politics. She's not a bitter leftie, but she still believes Obama is amazing and eats up everything the MSM tells her.
we can go even lower. come on. we are almost there. i want lebron to win his next championship unwatched and unloved. i am also looking forward to the box office flop that will be space jam 2.
Just bounce the ball and throw it in the hole you fucking clown, you're not paid the big bucks because people like your uneducated and retarded-ass opinion!
As someone who was a Lakers and Lebron fan before the pandemic I was turned off by how hard into politics the league went. After Kobe’s death it felt like everyone was united but that was quickly forgotten because everyone was falling over themselves to jump on the false BLM narrative. Fuck Lebron, the fucking puppet king.
Yeah, now pay those idiots their contracts out of your own pockets. These owners have to be the biggest dummies since Macy's closed their front window's.
You'd think congress would want that, but no, they like the cash donations I'm guessing. Same as Gas prices, Illinois closed at least 3 oil to gas processing plants which used to keep prices low. (Pollution~Safety!) Yeah, sure. Now was Clark cutting corners? Oh yeah. But there's a cure for that, Federal Inspectors. But no one wanted to do that, that would dry the money line up. Honestly, the old line about an Honest man being hard to find is a real truism.
Possibly it was LeBron leaving on his 16,845 televisions in his 18 mansions. That is where most of the ratings came from.
LeBron is "oppressed". He needs more mansions and televisions.
Will LeBron try to vote in Florida and Ohio, as well as California?
Has LeBron been investigated, and charged, due to him and Bloomberg going around Florida with big lots of money to bribe felons to vote for Creepy Joe Biden?
That's really the biggest tell of TV's collapse. For the first time in history we have national lockdowns and tv is one 'normal' thing anyone can do whenever they want. They used to watch the hell out of it even when they COULD go outside and live normally.
Now they have all the time in the world and dont watch it.
Factor 1: People got used to watching their Netflix or the effectively infinite source of entertainment that is YouTube.
Factor 2: There are likely millions of men (and a smaller chunk of women) who have taken the time to go do something and realize it's wayyy more satisfying than devoting thousands of hours watching some dudes dribble a ball. Probably picked up a new hobby or something.
Factor 3: Cucks gonna cuck and piss off the yuuggeee chunk of the viewership, that can't help.
If they pump those rookie numbers up another 25%, they may catch Tucker Carlson for nightly viewership.
If you told me six months ago that a conservative pundit on the almost completely otherwise-cucked fox would earn more eyeballs than "King James," I would have rolled my eyes. Patriots are waking up everywhere!
BTW - didn't we have an entire war to get away from a king? Screw this Chinese sellout.
The NBA is really unpopular for their political crap...and LeBron James is the face of the league and the most obnoxious SJW in the sport. Not only do people have little interest in watching the NBA, they have even less interest in watching him.
I was a big OKC Thunder fan that left the NBA completely earlier this year. Went through and and didn't even realize how much crap of theirs I had.
I attended games, bought gifts for others, and had so many shirts and souvenirs it was shocking. I made some of them gun rags, the rest is yard sale this weekend. And NBA 2K wont be a purchase for me this year for the first time in 11 years or so. I'm getting rid of the rest as well, and haven't watched 5 seconds of NBA content all year.
I'm just one guy but if I spent a few grand over the years that they wont get in the future now, imagine what the rest of the fans like me here in a small market of Oklahoma are going to do to this teams bottom line. One of our state senators is even talking about rescinding their tax breaks.
The Thunder can go back to Seattle as far as I am concerned, we don't need their garbage racist BLM here.
NBA is going to raise prices for tickets, "transaction fees", merchandise prices, cost to do business will just go up. Doesn't mean a whole lot for the NBA. You would only be able to hurt them if their TV contracts were up for renewal which they are not. They will recoup the losses unfortunately.
Most revenue comes from TV contracts. merchandise which has a massive profit margin will not have a huge loss in cost since everything is cheaply made in china anyways. You want to go after the NBA, NFL or any other pro sports you have to target TV contracts that are worth billion and is biggest factor in terms of Salary cap for those two leagues. The salary cap goes down, player's salaries go down. Owners cut goes down. Only way to get their attention.
NBA TV contract isn't up for another 4 years. Probably start negotiations in 3. Long time
One of the 4.5 million views was me streaming it out so y'all can watch it for free, LOL 😂
It's not theft - it's reparations for me against the NBA, NFL, and organized sports for charging me excessively for pay-per-view.
The first step is not caring.
I won't even watch it for free. Fuck them.
Yeah, what do you get to watch? Rapist praisers and drug dealer lovers throw a ball around the room?
This is my problem in a nutshell
These dribblers are backing felons and rapists while dissing Patriots
When Kobe buried himself in chopper parts, I lulz'd
Mah nibba👊
Hope everyone enjoyed the free gibs.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY HATING AMERICA ISNT MORE POPULAR
"wypipo" lol
🤣 took me a second but I figured it out lmfao!! “wypipo” 🤣
I didn't get it at first either.
How can I upvote you twice?
Join the democrat party
lel
How's that different from normal?
I suspect that shade is from a big ole chynese straw hat.
Sucky-sucky Winnie the Pooh dicky!
Oh it will topple if if keeps up. Just wait and see.
It will be glorious to watch. I’m sure there will be some great quotes when these genius players start to realize their payday is taking a huge hit.
Hold the line boys. We have better hobbies.
You love to see it!
Rookie numbers. Let’s pump that up to 100%!!!

Their Chinese masters clearly do not understand Americans

Kobe the rapist or some other Kobe?

Aaaand everyone’s mostly stuck at home. And people still don’t watch. Hahahaha.

So seriously, basketball is still going on??
LOL, "Vote."
I wonder how many Americans this man drove to the polls, and not to vote for his favored candidate.
I love how they think they have so much influence haha no one actually cares about you guys enough to deal with the cringe.
And millions at home with little to do, they still skip it.

4.5 million is still a lot. I want that number down to zero.
It's about 1% of the population. So really, not all that many thankfully.
It's a perfect storm.

What? No Communist Chinese viewership???
oh what a shame

Bet those numbers aren't per-capita adjusted or anything either.
Goodbye, circus. Next on the least: bread.
I'm from Miami and am a Heat fan. Still not watching. Fuck the NBA. SJW's ruin EVERYTHING!
It’s basketball season??
Dont give pro sports a next time. Cut it off for 3 years period
Oh no.....!
Fuck you Leyley..you're a piece of shit...
Sweet....going lower we hope😁
Hahahah fuck basketball
There should be no "Next time...", all of them better go and do some coding courses.

Waiting for their salaries to catch the trend.
No fans in stands. No one watching on tv. Money going to dry up real quick on these fools. China has them over a barrel.
Get politics out of sports and Hollywood!
These fucktards think that because they became millionaires being good at 1 thing, their every word and opinion is worth more than yours!
Fuck them! Elitist shittards!
