Both Game 1 and Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the L.A. Lakers and the Miami Heat have suffered the worst ratings crash in the league’s entire TV broadcast history. Despite the matchup including two of the league’s biggest stars (LeBron James and Anthony Davis), Game 1 of the Finals on Wednesday was a huge ratings disappointment for the NBA.
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.

Get Woke, Go Broke!
I am all about the Constitution- equal opportunity- and justice for all! We are an imperfect union, but Free! We are free to make choices and free to make mistakes.. we are free to watch sports or not- we are free to express an opinion.. we are free free free...
What we aren’t free from is outcomes of our choices! You can kneel, protest police, slam democracy... but the bottom line of free market capitalism- if you don’t have a product, service or entertainment that appeals to the FREE market- you don’t have a sustainable money making venture..

Move the entire operation to China. We don't care about anti-American racist players.

Its about time, people are starting to wake up and send a strong message. Watching these idiots is like showing support for their sick agenda. By NOT WATCHING we send a strong message that they should just play ball and stay out of the political arena. I haven't watched an NBA game in years and I'm also done with the NFL. Money can't buy you a brain and they prove it every day.

Hey NBA ... can you see the FINGER that millions of Americans have given to you?
Your advertisers have taken it right in their WALLETS. They deserve it.
Keep up the racism, you jerks, and see where it gets you. I'm sure that your Chinese "friends-of-convenience" will still support you with free flowing cash, for now, so WHY DON'T you just MOVE THERE? Or maybe to N Korea with Crazy Kim? Don't let the door hit you on the way OUT, prima donna fools.

Oh My! Does this mean that the NBA, MLB NFL have gone all out supporting the Black Thugs known as BLM, only to find out that TWF(The White Folks) decided to tune out? What in the world will they do with all those jerseys that TWF are refusing to buy? And goodness, are they going to need to force all those Black Team Members to stand for our Flag during the National Anthem? Have they figured out we are not going to stand for A Black National Anthem to be played? They have thrown out a lot of Rules to TWF deeming it go their way or else. Problem is, TWF also have a few Rules of their own and unless they are followed, they aren't going to watch games, buy tickets or buy Jerseys. In other words, Two can play their game and it looks to me like TWF's side is winning!

Do they make a giant foam finger with a different finger raised in the air? If not that could be a huge money maker for whoever makes it. People would flock to the games if only to wave it.

I wish I could boycott them but I quit watching The NBA when they started letting them take five steps driving to the basket. It also takes 30 minutes to watch the last five minutes because of all the deliberate fouls. The advertisers are sure not getting their money's worth.

As long as the pro sports supports violent political movements, it will stay that way.

But you guys keep wearing those BLM jerseys and painting leftist vomit on the court floors, so you’ll feel superior to all of us Deplorables.
Seriously, how can people be so stupid?

For the record, Byrd wasn't a Grand Cyclops, he was much worse, a Grand Kleagle. A Kleagle is a recruiter, a frothing at the mouth racist who looks for others like himself, or worse, to fill the hateful KKK ranks. I wonder how many people they intimidated, beat, or even murdered???

Yep. nba is toast. Soon the same is true for the nfl. As for major league baseball, we'll see. Hockey playoffs sure disappeared quietly. Being a dyed in the wool Chicago north sider, I didn't even know the Cubbies got swept by the Marlins. Kind of tells you about my lack of interest in pro sports right now.

The 68% is what they admit to. It is actually worse. Instead of just including households as they had always done for an apples to apples comparison, this year's numbers are padded to include out of household viewers, such as bars, restaurants, etc. The real decline is probably 85% to 90%, and it serves them right. Good luck on those future TV contracts when your advertisers are no longer subsidizing your ridiculous salaries.

I guess an all black league deserves an all black audience. Not sure what the advertisers will think however.

Hope the Chinese will eventually own all professional major leagues dominated by the blacks in America and take it with them to CHINA. Gives America a chance to start from a clean slate.

NBA, the National Basketball Association.
One question. What nation are they referring to in their name? I do know that they are endlessly negative and tiresomely crtiical of America, especially their de facto spokesman LeBron. And I know they also snap to and salute any time that Communist China is displeased with the NBA or one of its employee comments.
Seems to me a renaming or at least a clarification of their title "NBA" is in order.

The only major sports owner that had the guts to defy BLM and back Trump was Angels owner Arte Moreno. He recently headed a Lationo group for Trump rally.
