more time with the kids, more barbecues with the neighbors, more projects around the house, more volunteering in the community, more time to check up on my friends and see how they're doing, more time to read
why would I go back to spending money on people who disdain everything I stand for?
They need us more than we need them. Someone forgot to tell the NBA that without fans and ratings, they are out of a job. Meanwhile, without the NBA the former fans have more time to enjoy family gatherings, woodworking, golfing, fishing, reading, gardening, hiking...you get the idea. Get woke, go broke.
This, NBA, NFL, MLB, They're dead. You wanna watch some sweaty fags in tight shorts tackle each other trying to grab another dudes balls while they complain about being oppressed in America?
How could you really. Even if you wanted to they never let you forget. It's not like the old days where you could just get lost in players and stats and fantasy and forget everything else. It would be like dating a girl again after you found out she's actually your first cousin. Just awkward.
Yep. But not just boycott. Condescending jokes are also required. One of my co-workers wont come around the warehouse anymore because I asked him if he was going to be kneeling in his living room before the game and the entire place erupted with laughter around him. Another, who went along with it for the most part, was still visibly annoyed when I asked him, "Who is black lives matter playing tonight?". Zero fucks. Zerrrrooooo fucks.
This time last year the job site was filled with guys talking about the NFL and NBA
Now if somebody tries to bring up professional sports we all call them a faggot
I, and most of my coworkers, dearly miss those memories of yesteryear when we could actually enjoy the shit but you can't be talked down to forever and just accept it without a complete lack of self respect, and I don't want to live like that. Fuck em and the horse they rode in on.
The fact this even needs to be said is a joke - modern American sports have been a laughing stock for decades, its a giant commercial break with some mediocre athletic performance and cringeworthy over-celebrating from some double-digit IQ “athletes”.
I only ever went to drink anyway, which I’ll happily do at home.
yeah these leagues will not be able to sustain the loss. they think they will but they won't. these locked up contracts for bums that cost them $20+ mil are not going to be affordable.
look at these players who are owed 35+ mil in 2022.
it's not gonna happen if these rating losses stay constant, unless other players are going to be making league minimum while a few guys get paid 35,000,000-40,000,000 lol
Yup. One of our clients used to do that every year for their biggest customers but now they no longer do.
One of the managers told me the other day the big boss was tired of their virtue-signaling bullshit and put a hold on all event ticket gift purchases across the board.
Now they get a fruit basket or some shit.
Conservatives, outside of the feckless Conservative Inc. (Rush is in his own league), are too damn quiet. This sort of stuff needs to be the norm. Fuck with us, we hit you where it hurts.
A fellow Pede said something that made sense when BLM first started getting support from the mega corps - these groups may have lost touch with who their actual customers are because conservatives are quiet. And I 100% agree. Even when they "boycott" they just do it individually. Well the internet is helping change that. GOYA is a good example.
This might be a hard pill to swallow, but it needs to be said:
Do you hate “Cancel Culture”? Well, THE most effective way to #CancelCancelCulture is to cancel better than the left. They only understand one thing — which is losing. If you make them lose, and lose, and lose, they will want to change the rules.
This applies to so many things in politics — really just about anything. It could be Ballot Harvesting. Don’t like Ballot Harvesting? Then make sure we Ballot Harvest 100x better than the left. History has shown time and time again that matching and raising twice as hard is the best way to negotiate back to the position you really want.
Exactly. I've been saying this for years. Play their game better than them, and they will eventually beg to go back to the old system, which is what we wanted the whole time.
You may be on top something. Maybe an effective weapon against the NBA is demanding "racial equality and equity" - meaning black people should compromise ~13% of their teams.
NBA hasnt achieved racial equality, considering the absolute lack of diversity, but they sure have achieved gender equality, in that their ratings are equal to that of the WNBA.
Is that seriously what the arenas look like right now? What the hell? I thought it was just some phrasing on the court, like along the side or something.
It's real. And they also got to put "whatever" they wanted on the back of their jerseys, so jacob blake, george kirby, BLM, etc. It was a legit clown show. You couldn't see one clip from any game and not see BLM somewhere in the shot.
They do have a giant "BLACK LIVES MATTER" across the court. I think the messaging in the seats area was a temporary thing. Those are big screens. They did have pictures of people and other stuff in the seats also.
Also, the players all wear "I can't Breath" and "Go Vote" shirts, and other crap.
Yes, please please don’t watch these losers - or the NFL, MLB, NHL, or NASCAR. I would include WNBA but no one watches those games anyways...find local equivalents, or college. Fuck these entitled millionaires!
I'd rather watch high school level of football competency that supports this country than the pro millionaire football cucks that kneel for terrorists.
We are getting a AA baseball team. I hope they dont pull the kneeling shit because I so would love to go be able to watch a ballgame outside with a brewksy without having to sell a kidney and my soul to afford it and attend.
Yeah, AA games are like going back in time - reasonable prices, good beer, smaller stadiums, etc. Hopefully they are more grounded than the pro-teams that sponsor them. Maybe if enough people don’t watch they will change.
I had a blast going to ballgames in Nicaragua. 25 cents to get in. Beer was less than a buck. Lady selling Empanandas. It was a much more pure form of the game. There were more errors bht that is what made it enjoyable. I would enjoy getting that back minus the Sandanistas and socialism.
Long, long time nascar fan. I defended the sport unconditionally since I can remember. They'll never do enough to get me to come back. Good riddance. It's not hard to find better racing without the bullshit.
I won't EVER go to another NBA game unless every player that ever kneeled for BLM kneels before me and says "Thank you for coming Master" before they go dribble a ball to amuse me.
I foresee a bunch of NBA and NFL players getting salary "adjustments." For once in their privileged lives they will see that actions have consequences.
I decided a while ago to boycott anything that is trying to lecture me. Started with that whole gillette toxic masculinity thing. I don't know why but that was the final straw.
I don't miss ANY OF IT.
Millions of alternatives out there for just about everything.
please come back and buy our $200 jerseys and $25 beers after you pay $500 for your tickets and $50 for parking. please watch our games loaded with an obscene amount of commercials. please listen to our obnoxious sportsball analysts angrily squawk about petty bullshit that has nothing to do with the games you once loved. please forget our millionaire athletes wanted to spit in your white faces while you rooted for them and paid all that money to their 95% black-dominated sport.
NBA needs to scale back, completely remove, Adam Silver.
In every way possible, Silver has ruined a sport.
Also remove all China, black power, communism, terrorism support.
The NBA will "scale back" while also giving BLM groups $300million, not watching.
NBA should split in two, and it is actually three parts called the BAA and NBL and ABA if you look far back enough, and LeBron and other racists can go play in China, while the other league can play in the USA with no taxpayer funding for venues or anything else and with no propaganda.
Did they ACTUALLY have huge banners like that during the games? Like holy crap I can’t imagine watching that let alone ever coming back to watching that sport after that huge of a pile of garbage in my face. And I watched the last Super Bowl halftime.
They called for people to take to the streets of "Kenosha Wisconsin for Jacob Blake", one of the announcers said that there needs to be justice for the cops who murdered Breonna Taylor. They spend several minutes each game, before, during, and after talking about taking action. LeBron cries about how the protests won't stop and shouldn't stop after each game. They cover the pre-game social justice messages as if it's a Thanksgiving parade or red carpet event. It's fucking nuts.
I no longer gift tickets. Get fucked nba.
Yeah if you guys go crawling back to them after they participated in a coup against the USA you are cucks
Who knew that people enjoyed their families? Something that BLM specifically stated on their website that they wanted to destroy. Fuck the NBA
more time with the kids, more barbecues with the neighbors, more projects around the house, more volunteering in the community, more time to check up on my friends and see how they're doing, more time to read
why would I go back to spending money on people who disdain everything I stand for?
To show you’re not racist. All those things sound like white supremacy
It is. The black sun will rise again.
They need us more than we need them. Someone forgot to tell the NBA that without fans and ratings, they are out of a job. Meanwhile, without the NBA the former fans have more time to enjoy family gatherings, woodworking, golfing, fishing, reading, gardening, hiking...you get the idea. Get woke, go broke.

You can’t see it right now, but I’m saluting you with tears in my eyes. Top tier quality real life shitposting, sir. Well done.
This time last year the job site was filled with guys talking about the NFL and NBA

Something about that word rolls off the pallet just correct.
Thank you teacher!
Boycott espn too. That site traffic is going down
Massive layoffs announced today I believe.
Couldn't happen to a nicer pile of shit heads.
pretty soon it'll just be SVP doing every sportscenter
Fuck Disney. Let it fall
The fact this even needs to be said is a joke - modern American sports have been a laughing stock for decades, its a giant commercial break with some mediocre athletic performance and cringeworthy over-celebrating from some double-digit IQ “athletes”.

Based AF.

Yes! Preach! We are better than the left at basically everything.
Exactly. I've been saying this for years. Play their game better than them, and they will eventually beg to go back to the old system, which is what we wanted the whole time.
Not a hard pill to swallow at all. "When they go low, we kick them."
God damn that made me laugh so fucking hard! Thanks man!
gotta push that button until it breaks:
Cancel culture
Me too
Ballot Harvesting
"Grassroots" organizations
SuperPACs
You may be on top something. Maybe an effective weapon against the NBA is demanding "racial equality and equity" - meaning black people should compromise ~13% of their teams.
I say this all the time: We need more diversity in sports.
IDK, I do think there was opportunism but conservatives are very quiet. And disorganized.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease my dude.
What do you mean about Rush?
Different league from other conservative inc. pundits. His own league.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/adam-silver-nba-to-scale-back-social-justice-messaging-next-season-with-ratings-down/ar-BB19PwqQ
Silver also said the NBA will remain "completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality."
🤡🌎
Symbolism will be their downfall.
Racial Equality means that Lebron gives me some of his phat loots right?
Racial equality means not giving black people jobs over white people (Biden and Cali).
Trying to win back fans, while desperately trying not to piss off his slaves... I mean players
NBA hasnt achieved racial equality, considering the absolute lack of diversity, but they sure have achieved gender equality, in that their ratings are equal to that of the WNBA.
So they still didn't learn.
They hate us - so why would we support their hobbies?
Is that seriously what the arenas look like right now? What the hell? I thought it was just some phrasing on the court, like along the side or something.
Lol I can't tell if it's real or not. I haven't watched since MJ.
It's real. And they also got to put "whatever" they wanted on the back of their jerseys, so jacob blake, george kirby, BLM, etc. It was a legit clown show. You couldn't see one clip from any game and not see BLM somewhere in the shot.
I honestly could not believe the OP photo is real
They only allowed propaganda though, not Dorn or anything like that.
They do have a giant "BLACK LIVES MATTER" across the court. I think the messaging in the seats area was a temporary thing. Those are big screens. They did have pictures of people and other stuff in the seats also.
Also, the players all wear "I can't Breath" and "Go Vote" shirts, and other crap.
Yes, it was playing when my wife and I went out to eat over the weekend. She doesn't watch sports and even she was shocked.
Holy shit that messaging is insane. Its literally the entire arena. There's messages and then there's that
Seconded.
You mean slaves
I'm being sarcastic because NBA players think they're slaves.
Slaves with 7 figure salaries...
I canceled my seasons tickets which I've held for 28 years. $3500 x 2, plus parking and concessions . Ain't much but it's my protest.
"Oh fuck... I just remembered - we need their money..."
-The NBA
China must be saving up to fix that damn dam.
"Scale back" is just another way of saying its not going to go away.
But also a slimier way of saying they realize that they totally fucked up lol
Joggers Being Artistic
Too late you commie bastards!!!!
Too late, faggots.
Yes, please please don’t watch these losers - or the NFL, MLB, NHL, or NASCAR. I would include WNBA but no one watches those games anyways...find local equivalents, or college. Fuck these entitled millionaires!
As far as I know, Legends is still based.
I'd rather watch high school level of football competency that supports this country than the pro millionaire football cucks that kneel for terrorists.
We are getting a AA baseball team. I hope they dont pull the kneeling shit because I so would love to go be able to watch a ballgame outside with a brewksy without having to sell a kidney and my soul to afford it and attend.

Nascar changed back quick and kinda got put in a spot unfairly. They side more with the PGA. But yes, fuck all those other sports!
Long, long time nascar fan. I defended the sport unconditionally since I can remember. They'll never do enough to get me to come back. Good riddance. It's not hard to find better racing without the bullshit.
No one gives a single fucking shit for grown ass millionaires bouncing a damn ball around.
Maybe call China and cry about it.
In other words the corporations never expected the Marxist revolution to fail, and now they're dropping the bullshit
I won't EVER go to another NBA game unless every player that ever kneeled for BLM kneels before me and says "Thank you for coming Master" before they go dribble a ball to amuse me.
Well it's not an election year so........
BAHAHAHAHHAHAA if you go to /r/nba and load a bunch of pages then search for "Silver, Social, Justice, BLM" etc, NOT A SINGLE FUCKING SEARCH SHOWS UP!
Reddit in hardcore denial as to why the ratings are really down LMFAOOOOO.
I foresee a bunch of NBA and NFL players getting salary "adjustments." For once in their privileged lives they will see that actions have consequences.
BLM is like camouflage now... completely ignoring anything that puts it out there.
Scale back? lol What the fuck does that mean?
Hopefully all of that chinese semen they keep guzzling will keep those players in bentleys and spousal-abuse lawyers.
LOL - waaaaayyyy too late.... get fkd assholes.
Same to the MLB, NFL and NHL. you played in the woke pool - deal with the fall out.
I decided a while ago to boycott anything that is trying to lecture me. Started with that whole gillette toxic masculinity thing. I don't know why but that was the final straw.
I don't miss ANY OF IT.
Millions of alternatives out there for just about everything.
sure is
If someone offered me tickets I'd say no thanks I don't want to attend games where the players hate me
if they're free you can go and fling shit onto the court until they remove you
You mean when election year is over they will stop it and start it again in 2024.
Fuck Off NBA!
Get Jobs Boys! Real Jobs!
Hurry up and die communist filth.
please come back and buy our $200 jerseys and $25 beers after you pay $500 for your tickets and $50 for parking. please watch our games loaded with an obscene amount of commercials. please listen to our obnoxious sportsball analysts angrily squawk about petty bullshit that has nothing to do with the games you once loved. please forget our millionaire athletes wanted to spit in your white faces while you rooted for them and paid all that money to their 95% black-dominated sport.
"we no longer care about black lives due to our decreasing ratings" - adam silver
yikes i thought black lives mattered?
Kill your TV.
I don't care. They made it clear they want the ChiComs to be their masters.
NBA needs to scale back, completely remove, Adam Silver.
In every way possible, Silver has ruined a sport.
Also remove all China, black power, communism, terrorism support.

Fuck them.
Not a cent from our wallets, not a single eyeball on their screens.
Make it sting
I spent $ $600.00 last year. This year $0.00
They must have realized Chinese don't care too much for black social agendas
I havent watched a basketball game for years. Is this really what it looked like!? 4 times? LOL
Did they ACTUALLY have huge banners like that during the games? Like holy crap I can’t imagine watching that let alone ever coming back to watching that sport after that huge of a pile of garbage in my face. And I watched the last Super Bowl halftime.
