Yesterday before the Miami-Clemson game, Clemson bussed in their team on 10 busses instead of the usual 3 to prevent the spread. They then proceeded to all group up in the tunnel and tackle and sweat all over each other for 60 minutes.
This shit makes absolutely no sense and you have to be mentally retarded to think otherwise
It's their own fault that nobody cares any more. Their audience is literally down 87 percent since the great 1997 Bulls/Jazz series.
If they wanted to keep people watching in today's world, they would need apps that let you upvote/downvote the players, coaches, plays, calls, refs, announcers, etc. But then they'd find out just how much America really hates their degenerate pseudosport, so they'd rather just let it die. RIP
Or they could just play basketball/football and not lecture the fans about social justice. The fans were never the ones beating their wives and children, it was always the players.
I manage a restaurant and for the game on Friday I purposely didn't put it on any of the 15 tvs we have. I wanted to see how many people requested it. Ended up at only 2 tvs. Over the course of several hours, and dozens of groups being sat only two groups wanted the Finals on. Anecdotal, but really showed me the lack of interest this year.
Something weird happened to me a few months after I got out of the Corps in '00. I had approx $12k in the bank and I was at a mall about to go on a shopping spree. I was holding a pair of Jordan's and they were somewhere in the neighborhood of $120. I sat down and was about to put them on when I realized I was about to buy some plastic and leather for my feet that cost less $5 to make. I left the mall with only the biggest Casio watch I could find (because a good Marine always has a watch and an ink stick)
I lost all interest in sports within a year, having been a Chicago sports fan my entire life, to the point that if you talked shit about the Bears I was literally ready to fight. I didn't even know the White Sox had won the world series in 2005 until the middle of the next year. Today I couldn't tell you the starting line up of any major sports team to save my life.
Watching what? Who watches a bunch of overpaid leftists and babies and have all those commercials shoved down your throat when you could be reading thedonald.win and upvoting everything?
What's funny is other sports and broadcasters should have been more outspoken against the woke sports because for some people, this will have a trickle down effect. For example, I was an avid fan of MLB baseball but didn't watch a single game this season. I haven't watched the NBA in over 20 years or the NFL in 6, so MLB was going to be my only "fix" of sports. So much for that.
I was resigned to wait for College Football season, hoping they also wouldn't go woke with visible displays of hatred/racism, names on jerseys, racist logos on the field, etc AND allow fans in the stands. That actually happened, so I was excited. I ended up watching one game, which went into overtime (so it wasn't a boring game) but I was bored out of my skull. I'd been conditioned to prefer doing things other than watching sports.
This is just one longtime spectator of various sports as an example. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there are others who found the same thing happened to them by the time a non-woke sport showed up; they just stopped caring about it.
I'm also wondering if the same thing will happen with movies/TV. I found entire days during the initial stages of the plandemic where I didn't watch TV for a second. No news. No entertainment. Nothing. When they decided to start trapping people at home thinking they'll have nothing to do except consume their mind-numbingly awful products, they probably thought ratings would soar. They didn't. I wonder how many people instead made the decision to stop watching and even cancelling their services. Especially those forced out of a job by the fear-mongering scam the media thmselves created and decided TV was an unnecessary expense.
That whole industry was in a slow motion decline that went into hyper speed when The Germ hit.
The days of counting on close to 100 million households contributing $80-120/month for cable are over. The 9 figure payouts for blockbuster movies are likely over. This reduction of money into the ecosystem (most households will only contribute $20/month max for streaming) is going to absolutely obliterate the entire industry.
The first provider that offers truly a la carte programming will dominate. I know that providers like Sling call themselves "a la carte" but they're exactly the same as the cable/satellite providers. Picking from crappy packages THEY put together is not a la carte. It's like going to a buffet, but they decide what you get to put on your plate.
Someday someone's going to come along and figure this out. There must be tons of legal bullshit standing in the way of this happening. It would be nice if Congress acted on this rather than naming post offices for "gay rights leaders" and other assorted garbage. No wonder so many people just get content from the pirate sites.
The DOJ needs to drop a giant dildo up the ass of the content producers for running an illegal tying operation for cable channels. In essence a handful of companies own all the channels and they insist that they all be bundled. Can you imagine how bad Fake News CNN and MSDNC would be harmed if people had the right to exclude them from cable. They’d have like a million subscribers and go tits up inside of a year.

I use an IPTV provider and for $15 I get better service and customer service than my family does with cable. I don't know why more people don't pirate, but I like to keep it low key because it's awesome and I dont want people to ruin it.
The ratings crash has gotten so bad that NBA prez Adam Silver has even decided to drop the woke shit for next season. So much for "speaking truth to power" when it starts costing them real money.
They should start playing the Lithuanian basketball games. It's their national sport, and theres no way they're going Woke after getting conquered by the Nazis, and then "liberated" by the Soviets. I served with a bunch of them in Iraq and they're extremely based!

Same foolish logic as restaurants making you wear a mask and letting you take it off when seated.
Trump is actually a germaphobe. Biden is just a coward.
Very true.
All that with squeaky overpriced slave labor Nike shoes
The NBLMFL can get fucked as well. The only people still watching are cucks, barflys, and degenerate gamblers.
Used to be a huge NBA fan. Didn’t even know the finals were going on.
I havent watched basketball since the bulls in the 90's

I used to be a huge NBA fan...in the 90’s.
Bars are open in your region? 🤡
Yes, they have been for a while I think - I was in one probably 2 months ago.
SUPER SPREADER ALERT! 🤖🕵🏻♂️
What is an NBA and how do I not watch it?
I'll just go to the range.
That's a banging idea!

NbA is boring anyway...unless you like watching an abortion of real basketball rules...probably why the lefties love it
Is that still going on? It feels like they've been playing for weeks. Are the finals 15 games now?
I'll go one further, I don't even know who's playing in the finals. I'll just assume some team is playing the Lakers.

I’m with you on that. And I don’t care who plays or wins or loses!!!
I’m also not a degenerate gambler. Lol.

At least they have their college degrees to fall back on
Is that basketball thing? Thought it folded. Who knew?
I will NOT watch China-Ball! I want to burn my NBA shorts.
I only wish I could give 365 upvotes
The Never Been American players and owners can go FUCK CHINA

not watching, haven't been watching.
Exactly. And never will.
In his defense of declining viewership, Adam Silver admitted that basketball is a sport that is only watched when nothing else is on.
It just came to me: Shouldn't they just be starting a new season?? What's their plan for this season?
I’m way ahead on the boycott. I haven’t been watching for 22 years!
F the NBA and the NFL
Instead I’m watching Lineral Hivemind and Salty Cracker on YouTube.
If the Lakers are losing near the end of regulation, I may tune in just to see the disappointment on Qing James’ face.
Boycott4life
NBA on TV is just a fund raiser for DNC via BLM.
Today? shouldnt be watching anything NBA related to begin with since the last 5+ years
As if I was a tard.
Didn’t watch any of the rest of the season either. As a matter of fact, I haven’t watched professional “travel, dunk and foul” since about 1974.
I've never watched Felonball to begin with.
The NBA finals are on?
The ratings crash has gotten so bad that NBA prez Adam Silver has even decided to drop the woke shit for next season. So much for "speaking truth to power" when it starts costing them real money.
Too late. They destroyed the game.
Not going back till that big goof jim ask for forgiveness on his knees
Oh shit is that today?
What’s the NBA? Never heard of it....
There's a finals today?
Is that the British cooking show?
I'm not a commie, so no... I'm not watching.
More than a boycott.
NEVER again.
👍👆👍
Probably lower than the number that didn't even know there was an NBA finals game today
Um, excuse me, but the new correct term is PERSONCOTT
#WordKaren
It’s really not even that difficult of a task. It takes very minor self control to prevent being brainwashed.
It’s really not.
Don’t know who’s in the finals tbh
Watching something intellectually stimulating:
Impractical Jokers
😂👍
The what finals? Somebody taking a test or something?
They should start playing the Lithuanian basketball games. It's their national sport, and theres no way they're going Woke after getting conquered by the Nazis, and then "liberated" by the Soviets. I served with a bunch of them in Iraq and they're extremely based!
Never Bothered Anyway
The NBA finals are today?
