in recorded ratings history

A trend of low ratings throughout the NBA postseason has now reached the NBA Finals. And hit it hard. Game 1 of the Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat brought in only 7.41 million viewers to ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That is reportedly the lowest viewership seen for the Finals since at least 1994, when total viewers began to be regularly recorded.

Comments:

Reality is coming home to the "woke" NBA. Someone will be asking for their money back when sponsors find they were shorted in the promised eyeballs.

Yahoo doesn't think the NBA's politics has much to do with the decline in viewership and to make sure majorities don't disagree with them, Yahoo has turned off comments - - for quite a while now. Yahoo knows half OR MORE of their readers disagree with their BS wokeness so they just don't want to hear it.

Playing in front of card board posters instead of real life fans comes with a price, NBA. Suffice to say fans don't like the sports product being spoon fed to them. Disapproval of a product is never a good thing.

I would like to say I am boycotting the NBA but I haven’t watched a game in 20 years. Ever since the refs started permitting traveling so the players could take four or five steps before jamming the ball and all the deliberate fouling to stretch the last five minutes into half an hour. It’s the most boring game on earth. The same now with all the tv timeouts and endless commercials in the NFL. Pro sports have become a boring snooze fest. Forget all the stupid BLM political posturing. I think the games no longer appeal to a lot of Americans. Good riddance is what I say.

I have never really cared for basketball. I have always found it extremely boring. But I still rooted for the San Antonio Spurs, since they were the local team and were pretty classy back in the days of "the admiral". But then they got woke, and their coach got massively infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Threw away my Spurs t-shirt and haven't watched a game, and definitely have not even considered attending one in person, since he opened his pie hole and spewed anti-Trump garbage that first time. Didn't miss it for 2 seconds either!!!

For the third time in less than 30 hours, four justices on the state Supreme Court dealt President Donald Trump a setback Friday, saying they wouldn't accept a lawsuit by Trump allies who wanted to let Republican lawmakers instead of voters decide how to cast the state's electoral votes. As with two decisions Thursday, Friday's ruling was 4-3, with conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn joining the court's liberals to rebuff the president as he seeks to take away Democrat Joe Biden's narrow win of the state. "The relief being sought by the petitioners is the most dramatic invocation of judicial power I have ever seen," Hagedorn wrote.

Lennie Mosley, president of the Halyard Park Neighborhood Association, first moved to the area with her husband in 1980. Back then, she said, few people wanted to live there. Now, the neighborhood's location within walking distance of the Fiserv Forum and related projects has put its housing in high demand and led to a sharp rise in property taxes. In recent decades, the adjacent Brewers Hill neighborhood experienced gentrification, with longtime residents pushed out as property values skyrocketed due to demand from wealthier buyers who moved in, resulting in higher tax bills for all.

The U.S. government is awash in debt and red ink — and neither President Donald Trump or his Democratic challenger appear bothered by the status quo, an analyst told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday. Last week, the Treasury released data showing how the COVID-19 pandemic helped push the U.S. federal budget deficit above $3 trillion for the first 11 months of fiscal 2020, a rate more than double the prior full-year record. In previous years, the federal deficit — and the mountain of IOUs to investors it signified — would figure prominently in a presidential campaign.

Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
