I wonder if Republican Party bigwigs think that Dana White speaking at their convention will help garner them more votes.
Oh.Fair enough. I'll consider that a retraction of your initial "as a nation we have lost our balls" post.
Nope. No retraction. The original ball post was to mean no sports. No "balls".
Get it?
After that everyone got all philosophical, so I obliged. Times change, but one thing is for sure this place never will.
I know! Damn Marxists. I'll have to read your posts for amusement.And Red didn't.LOL!
Sorry you can’t escape reality by watching the NBA tonight.
Post somewhere where there's a moderator more sensitive to your needs.The testing of the children has increased because the number of children showing symptoms has increased.
lol
I'm going to start deleting this bullshit.
Josh is tired of other opinions. Only his count.
Just walked past my tv ... saw black people armed with baseball bats smashing up cars...probably not their own cars, my guess.And wanting to end of that, "Americans...should vote for Trump."
Black lives matter?
Obviously not those of the Black owners of the shops looted, damaged, and destroyed.
Americans wanting the violence, arson, looting, assaults to end should vote for Trump.That's because the current President has done nothing to end it. Wait.....
And I've watched non-stop since play resumed. I guess the players' constant discussion of the labor theory of value appeals to me."Marxist". Another clown.Exactly.
The NBA endorses clowns
No wonder no one watches.
I personally haven’t watched this much basketball in a few seasons.
This is all bullshit. Ratings are down because the players' constant espousal of dialectical materialism turns away clear-thinking people like Red."Marxist". Another clown.Exactly.

https://slate.com/culture/2020/08/nba-tv-ratings-china-ethan-strauss-athletic.htmlQuoteIn a piece published in the Athletic last week, Ethan Strauss reported that the ratings for network NBA broadcasts have declined by 45 percent since 2011–12. Games on TNT are also down by more than 40 percent, while ESPN’s ratings have gone down roughly 20 percent. And despite predictions that ratings for the league’s “bubble” games would soar, they’ve actually been lower than those for pre-bubble games. “Big trends tend to result from multiple factors,” Strauss wrote. Among the ones he cited: that players, coaches, and broadcasters have been highly critical of the United States and its government while remaining mostly silent about China.
But the decline is not new. It is not 2018-2020, but ongoing since 2011-12, which suggests that the criticism of the US is a smaller part of it than he would like to admit (or that Ward would). Further seeing double the drop on some stations over the other begs questions, too.
But overall, if that is why they are leaving, then perhaps they will be happy if the games stop.
I doubt it.
