"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.

And I've watched non-stop since play resumed. I guess the players' constant discussion of the labor theory of value appeals to me.

Cancel Culture hits the RNC

Yeah, the Protocols of the Elders of Pure D. Anti-Jew

And the Secretary of State speaks from Jerusalem.

The GOP doesn’t give a fuck about Israel and BiBi has sold out to the bitches prsying to be Raptured.

Y’all some SUCKERS

But but but... Tim Scott just said republicans don't give in to cancel culture.   Hmmm..... interesting.

In 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.

Well the NBA is not giving them much to stay for.  If it thought it could turn around declining  ratings by embracing BLM, China,and  Marxism that  was a PR disaster On par with the Edsel.

The NBA is beating baseball.

And one day we may all end up watching hockey.

Kinda funny how right after Roger Goodell apologizes to Colin Kaepernick RED has to go after the NBA to distract and deflect.

Eric trump is trying to sell a very questionable condo. It’s the trump soho pitch all over again.

In the grand scheme of things, the Edsel was a blip on Ford's radar. If the NBA is as hurt by this as Ford was by that, they will be more than fine.

And Edsel Ford, himself, would have told you so.

Distract and deflect?

From your cultural homelessness and moral deficits.

I’m still not sure which trump will look most natural in an orange jumpsuit. I’m giving it to Don Jr.. with the old man you won’t know where the suit stops and the goon begins.

Melina is giving a pretty solid pro Biden speech.

I’m sold. Joe has my vote.

She’s a much better leader than the idiot embarrassment she’s often associated with.

"We should have listened."

~Roger Goodell to Colin Kaepernick

Listened to what?
How is the NBA doing with its Marxist signage?
Checked its TV ratings lately?

The link is to the NFL commissioner apologizing to Kaepernick.

Distract and deflect?

So you deflect to the NBA because you want to distract people from the NFL admitting it owes Kaepernick an apology.

That’s  because Henry Ford was a genius in building his Company.  The Edsel flopped business-wise even though it was the butt of jokes for decades after its early demise    But Ford had lots  of other Cars to sell and still does.  The NBA only has one product and its  customers( now limited to tv viewers) are not impressed.

I don’t give a fuck about the ratings. I remember watching the NBA Finals on taped delay.
