It used to be key players that were major Trump haters and public about it. I could deal with that. Now things have changed. The entire league endorsed hating Trump and promoting communism and BLM. They paint "BLACK LIVES MATTER" on every court, an organization that said they want to destroy the family on their website and that their leaders are communists. Fuck that. They also wear "GO VOTE" shirts before the game, when they've all but came out for Biden.
Maybe if NBA didn't turn communists and political people would have continued watching.
True, the individuals opinions are there own. If they want to say things off court fine. But if the whole organization is promoting stupid ideas then I don't care.
If they were political on their own time, I could be okay with that. I don't want my employer or my customers dictating my political stances either.
The problem is when they get political during game time, when I'm trying to be entertained by them competing in sport. I don't find their political stances entertaining, so they have stopped making their product. If they're no longer entertaining, I'll go elsewhere for fun. Plenty of content out there.
SERIOUSLY. I've got nothing against people who love to play a game, and are good at it, and can play it at a level where people will pay to watch it. But GEORGE HERMAN RUTH used to paint houses in the off season, because he was also a MAN and knew that a MAN has to WORK for a living. He wasn't the God of Ball, and his opinion was worth exactly as much as the next house painter's opinion.
Making enough money to live and continue to hone your skills and entertain people, because you're one of the greats? Okay, sure! Making enough money from playing a game to own a car that's more valuable than everything I own combined, trying to tell an entire nation how to think, AND genuinely thinking that you're oppressed? Fuck you, you're less than nobody.
When one of the great generals of Rome returned to the Capital City to be honored, he stood on the cart at the head of the parade, with a slave behind him, holding the olive laurel crown over his head, like a Halo. What the people in the crowd didn't know was that the Slave's true purpose was to whisper, over and over, for the entire parade, "Memento Mori." Which is "Remember, you will die." These were men who were literally conquering the world and bringing (relative) civilization to barbarians, cannibals, and the worst scum of the age. Someone needs to remind these "celebrities" that they're mere mortals, like the rest of us.
He neglected to mention it's a game that was invented by a high school gym teacher for his girls' class, because they sucked at all the real sports, and needed something easy they could do where you're not allowed to tackle, tag, or otherwise touch someone in a way that would make them cry.
Nothing beyond something I read in school, something like 25 years ago. If I recall correctly, the guy used Peach Baskets, and they had to go up a ladder after every successful basket and get the ball back.
I used to love watching the nba and playing basketball when I was a kid but at some point the branding and marketing became too ghetto and I lost interest
Can you imagine going from birth to death and being upset about imaginary perceived "racism" the whole time? What a curse it must be to REEEEEEEEEE your whole life away
We've been watching some high school football. And it's been surprisingly entertaining! Faster action. Funnier plays. Ridiculous "hail Marys". Shocking runs, kicks, incompletes and touchdowns! It's also surprising how much money some of these high schools are spending on football. Super nice fields, equipment and uniforms.
Lebron is actually pointing to Satan. Because hes so far down in Hell at this moment that he needs to point up still to make it seem like hes respecting God.
A few years ago I would go to a few heat games every season.
Now I legitimately had no idea it was even basketball season. I was caught off guard when a friend of mine texted me over the weekend if I wanted to come over and watch the heat game. I had completely forgotten they existed. Now I learn it wasn't just any heat game, but it was the finals.
I feel really bad for my coworkers who still watch sports. The last 6 months was like watching a junkie who can't scrounge enough couch coin to buy his next hit. Now they're gobbling up every morsel of this low quality shit they can get, like scraping the loose shake out of the corner of the baggie, or drinking the bong water.
When I see people like that I wonder if tyrants and aristocrats throughout history weren't right. Maybe people don't deserve freedom if they'll throw it away for bread and circuses.
The only reason I know is because my dad, a huge fan of the sport for over half a century, said he's skipping it because he's fed up with all their BLM horse shit. Same guy abstained from voting for president four years ago because he hated Trump - he's an enthusiastic Trump supporter today.
I can't wait until these ass clowns learn about salaries for professional athletes under communism.
I hear they get a 2 room apartment and 3 extra loaves of bread each week.
Wild, I used to love the Lakers and Dodgers but they're dead to me now.
Just hope college football doesn't cuck out too hard (some teams have) and that the Rock doesn't ruin the XFL when they come back.
I hope it costs him the series. Fuck crybaby james

It's almost as though their Chinese benefactors told them to or something.

I'm so far past caring about the NBA I no longer even get joy out of watching LeBron lose.
That is pretty demoralizing when your big gun walks off the court.
A massive pussy. The definition of Black Fragility.
Biden Ball 🤣
Black fragility at its finest. Were lucky be didn't vandalize a popeyes on his way home. Or assault someone.
Who?
Non-essential
LeBron learning to code? Hahahaha!
Dude can barely speak

As a wise man once said "never go full retard"
What the shit!!! They're already at finals lol!!! I didn't even know they were playing but are now at finals!!!
Holy shit snacks they (NBA) really are fucked. Think they overestimated the hold a rubber ball and hoop has on the average American.
They're still huge in the ghetto, though. Gotta sell those $500 Nike sneakers.
What's with those HIDEOUS new red shoes that everyone seems to want? They look like shit.
NBA?
What's that?
Watching low IQ people who hate america put a ball in a hole.
He neglected to mention it's a game that was invented by a high school gym teacher for his girls' class, because they sucked at all the real sports, and needed something easy they could do where you're not allowed to tackle, tag, or otherwise touch someone in a way that would make them cry.
Any source on that he invented it for women? According to the internet it was first played at the YMCA.

It was made by a canadian who got the idea from a Mayan sport game.
No idea what the fuck the other dude is talking about.
2 hours of squeak noises interrupted by SJW commercials.
Me neither, but i was a non watcher even before they went full woke
I used to watch, up until this season.
You ain't wrong.
I used to love watching the nba and playing basketball when I was a kid but at some point the branding and marketing became too ghetto and I lost interest
NBA should start every game with a TED talk about how low ratings are proof of racism.

I haven't watched a minute of football this year.

I didn't care about sports much BEFORE 2016, I stopped watching hockey in 2005ish when they did the year long lockout.
Politics is FAR MORE interesting, it's the soap opera with the highest production value.
Reap it bitches
Good, fuck them.
Lebron is actually pointing to Satan. Because hes so far down in Hell at this moment that he needs to point up still to make it seem like hes respecting God.
A bunch of black millionaires telling me how oppressed they are... I'll pass.

I didn't go.
Lmao
As far as the NBA players go their Black Lives Matter 68% Less.

CCNBA finals. Communist China's National Basketball Association.
What a shocker, turns out telling an entire race of people that they are evil for the color of their skin makes them feel alienated.
The only reason I know is because my dad, a huge fan of the sport for over half a century, said he's skipping it because he's fed up with all their BLM horse shit. Same guy abstained from voting for president four years ago because he hated Trump - he's an enthusiastic Trump supporter today.
Good, it is unimportant fluff anyway. Does nothing for America... turn the garbage sports off.
BLM: Bitchy Little Marxists.
Black lies matter
Non Essential
LeBron is pointing the wrong way.
The guy up there has nothing to do with BLM.
lepoon james is a real black supremacy
Not even a blip on my radar. NBA is dead
You mean "least watched finals game so far. "
Fixed that for you.
sorry LeBron I was too busy watching proud boys throw punches at commies on .Win.
And the thing is, everyone is home and available to watch it, yet still didnt
I can't wait until these ass clowns learn about salaries for professional athletes under communism. I hear they get a 2 room apartment and 3 extra loaves of bread each week.
Oh the poor, poor sportsball players.
Those are rookie numbers.... We can do better
Rich athletes are a cancer on this country.
If we can get it reduced by 98 percent le non James will be sucking wang for money :)
That's right. We will find new past-times.
CUT THEIR SALARIES! These bums are completely disconnected from reality.
I was a huge Heat fan, but this anti-American NBA is not watched in my house anymore.
Lebron is a stupid bitch!
No..uh..no, that’s because even though I’m watching at home, I don’t enjoy the game because there aren’t people in stands. /s
F*ck Lebr0n
We talking LeBron? The giant fragile loser? He's unavailable for comment, currently polishing Xi's helmet.
NBWHO?
imagine wasting your time and watching a bunch of severely overpaid retards play sports ball
NBA? What's that?
Some sports writer cuck on Twitter was like “YES....the NBA is now competing with NFL and MLB so OF COURSE their ratings would be down”
No, cuck. After being starved of sports, if they hadn’t gotten woke, most fans would watch all 3
What's with the whole pointing at God shit? Is it so we can notice LeBron noticing God? Is LeBron pointing at God so He notices him?
Something something Pharisees, something something kick rocks faggot.
Wild, I used to love the Lakers and Dodgers but they're dead to me now. Just hope college football doesn't cuck out too hard (some teams have) and that the Rock doesn't ruin the XFL when they come back.
I guess they didn't matter like they thought they did.
