I Won't Be Watching The NBA If This Keeps Up....

[gnadfly]

Heat won one. Now it's time to go home.
============================== ===========

Game 1 averaged only a 4.1 rating and 7.41 million viewers on ABC, “comfortably the lowest rated and least-watched NBA Finals game on record (dates back to 1988),” Sports Media Watch reported.

But if the league thought things might improve for Game 2, it had a bitter pill to swallow because the second in the series did even worse than the first.

Game 2 cratered with just 4.5 million viewers and a dismal 1. 9 in the ratings. This embarrassing showing was down 68 percent over Game 2 in 2019.

The 2020 Game 2 event now rates as the lowest ratings ever for an NBA Finals game. Until Friday, Wednesday’s Game 1 was the lowest-rated in league history. So, it seems the Finals keep going down.

This horrific collapse should not be surprising after polls have found that many fans now believe that basketball is far too political.

A Sept. 2 Harris poll found that 39 percent of respondent who identified as sports fans felt that the league was too political. And another 19 percent said that they had turned off pro basketball because of the NBA’s deep links to China.

I haven’t watched the NBA since the Rockets were eliminated.

Wonder who else stops watching when their team is eliminated?

At least when the NBA gets their "woke" leaders elected, they will have to pay more taxes out of their outrageous salaries.

Otherwise, fuck the DPST's.

Those are terrible ratings - [perhaps they should allow fans back into their lavish stadiums that the taxpayers so ignorantly subsidized.

They only lost 70% of their viewership. I guess they all get a participation ribbon and can get back to crapping on their own front yards and burning their own cities down now.

I love the Lakers and I love the game. I understand why a casual fan would not watch it though because the game has really changed. It's like watching a three point shooting contest now and guys jumping into each other to get a foul called on the guy on defense. It's definitely a different game than I grew up watching but I still love the game.

I can't even watch the Houston Rockets unless they play the Lakers. James Harden just wants to draw fouls and shoot free throws so they're pretty boring to watch to me.

It’s so funny (eye roll here) to see and read a bunch of people on here lose their shit because Black and some white men practice their 1st amendment right to bring to light , social injustice. Those of you threatening to not watch....go right ahead....YOU are the problem....not the basketball players . The NBA and the NFL at that will be perfectly fine. Plus you all are just spewing hot air and bullshit.

If you have a problem with citizens peacefully protesting ....then YOURE the problem.

It's a fact, not conjecture. Futt Buck 'em. Besides, who wants to watch LeBoo-Boo cry like the widdle baby he is, take his ball and go home early? I'm sure his President Xi will pat him on the bum and tell him he's a good Comrade, then change his diapy.
