That would be a surprise to me. I could be wrong, and this could be a stereotype, but it would seem to me that if viewership of the NBA is down, they have more than likely lost viewership of young black men. Maybe everyone, regardless of skin color, just wants to watch a sport to escape all this shit, not to have it further shoved down their throat.bpj wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 5:17 pmIs everyone who's not watching racist?
Or has their bogus cause been exposed?
Its poetic to watch it play out with such a drastic drop in viewership. Shut your stupid mouths and play the game your big dopey ass is lucky enough to be twice as large as a normal human and able to play. Congratulations on being yuge though guy.
It's posts like this that really roil my blood, really piss me off. Unbelievable. Not that you're wrong, Michael, but that I didn't post that first.Michael K. wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 6:15 pmThat would be a surprise to me.

To me? It is poetic justice. Lebron saying they should stop playing, might just have turned off enough people. Once again, he had the backing of a lot of players until they found out that, GASP, if they stop working the paychecks stop! How hard for the richest man in the league to tell everyone "hey, to prove a point we should walk away." Yeah, great idea, until the players realize that just like the real world, you don't work? Your boss don't pay you!
It still blows me away. These effing nuckleheads actually thought they deserved their entire salary even if they VOLUNTARILY walked away and stopped working. We all wondered what would happen when the kids that all got trophies grew up....here it is.

Congratulations - you just won the internet today!
