Social James Harden demands to be traded because owner supported Trump

[boxingskills]

Nothing is being shoved down my throat , I have a life and job I dont spend all day on social media. I turn on a game and watch. Sorry you are triggered by a court logo. Snowflake

You spend all day on Sherdog. 25k posts.

No, MLB had logos on the field, promotional videos, etc, etc. They just didn't go overboard with it, like the NBA. I did not leave out the NHL. I said all leagues postponed games due to Jacob Blake. That includes the NHL. They also a big BLM ceremony, and created a diversity watchdog group over the whole thing. It wasn't as smothering as the NBA, but it was there all the same interfering with the sport.

People don't like politics being infused into sports. It's common knowledge. The numbers don't lie. The NBA has already announced that they won't be plastering the court with BLM shit this season, and will leave politics at the door. Why do you think that is, genius?

yea, people tune into Sports to escape the daily grind and rigors of the real world.
I imagine having your favorite sports saturated with political diatribes, slogans and lecturing kills its appeal for many.

again, this is anecdotal but I have many friends who were die heard NFL and NBA fans. now, they are pretty much apathetic about both sports.

It's the warped belief that a certain group called white people has it so god damn easy that every day they wake up and make 6 figures for doing nothing.

When in reality people work their asses often in an environment where there is a target on their head and tune in simply to unwind. The last thing these hard working patriots need is some elitist rich Junior High educated brainwashed zombie claiming violent criminals shouldn't be arrested and should be allowed to leave.

Got it.

So all the rating declines since the BLM terrorist network worshipping on the court are just a coincidence?

It must be easy living as a brainwashed lemming...

Or maybe the fact they are playing in a crowd less bubble that’s less fun to watch and fans aren’t as invested in a season when they can’t attend games.

exactly...and this is what so many do not get.

I mean, are there some silver spoon fed folk who had their future paved to glory by their parents? yea, I can see that.

but the vast majority of successful people I've met have made umpteen sacrifices, worked their fingers to the bone, worked on a few hours of sleep, juggled school with full time work and busted their asses to get where they are at...

and then, to have some kid, with no real world experience lecture you about the woes and injustices of the world and how life is unfair...I mean, GTFO.

What numbers don't lie? Numbers are down due to covid. The amount of people who boycott a sport is insignificant and most if not all who say they wont watch never did. Is college football in Alabama woke? Why are SEC ratings down? College football ratings are down 30%. Let's keep going kiddo

What is the purpose of being dishonest? have you ever seen me put my support behind Trump or exalted him as a beacon of "hard work?"

do you see me ever laud nepotism?

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Preakness too woke for the right, clearly not covid related. WNBA not woke enough

 

[kimocomplex]

nice nitpicking, reality is people realized they didnt need sports

some took bigger hits than others

WNBA is +15%? wow they got another 10 fans, way to go!

No doubt it played a part, but the NBA is saying politics drove fans away. Hence why they're not going to be advertising BLM in the future. Do you believe they would be turning away from politics, going so far as to publicly announce it to reassure fans they won't be seeing that shit next season, if it wasn't hurting their bottom line?

Nitpicking? You're changing your story now. Ratings are down everywhere from covid not BLM

Nba and NFL have been declining in viewership since before covid like several years consecutively

Correct. Dummies tried to blame the NFL’s drop on kneeling and Kaep when the numbers actually showed at the time there was a drop across all TV and sports and the NFL actually had suffered less of a loss of viewers than pretty much any content, including other sports which didn’t have any kneeling.

conservatives threw a fit and claimed they wouldn’t watch but didn’t follow through.

 

[grimballer]

Have no idea what were rockets trying to do this year?

they bring in Westbrook (can’t shoot/needs ball in his hands) a pair him with harden?

what made them think that’s gonna work?

then mid season they get rid of their center and basically play the rest of the season with 6’4 guy playing center?

Why treats keep falling for that mike dantoni style that’s only good during regular season?

 

[HomeCheese]

I think most research indicates that the NBA is gaining popularity even though less people are watching. Especially if you consider the international market. NBA fans tend to be younger and more tech savvy, many have unplugged from cable that partially explains the lower ratings.

You can't count that high.

i wish this superteam trend would die already and we could get back to competitive basketball

It won’t die as long as people keep acting like it was so amazing for LeBron to run from team to team to win championships.

It’s much harder to stay in one place and keep winning or build a winner but those days are over.

yea, now harden, giannis and some others are trying to join other teams and shit. all the stars are going to be on 10-15 teams the other half of the league is going to have the leftovers.
