NBA Finals Game 2 Ratings - Lowest Evah!

Get woke, go broke...
[Zero Hedge] - We have been documenting the recent ratings collapse that the NFL has suffered in the midst of turning its league into a political movement over the last few months. Now, it looks like the NBA could be suffering a similar fate.

It appears that viewers are no longer interested in the political and social justice messages of the NBA but rather were tuning in for (believe it or not) actual basketball. As the balance of the league has tipped from less sport to more activism, viewers are tuning out.

Game 2 of the NBA Finals saw a major collapse in viewers, with just 4.5 million people tuning in. This is down 68% from last year's game two, which Outkick notes, "featured a team in Canada".

In fact, the ratings made Game 2 the least watched NBA Finals game on record, dropping below the 7.41 Game 1, which was the lowest viewed finals opener in history.

As long as these clowns continue to politicize the game (i.e., having to look at 'BLACK LIVES MATTER' every trip up & down the court), I will continue to not watch them. By that time ratings will be irreversibly damaged and a whole lotta shit's going to unravel.

Creative Destruction - ain't it grand?

#2 One mitigating factor - going up against the NFL at the same time - 11.7M viewers.

#3 Wut, all those Chinese aren't tuning in?

Or does the BLM stuff get pulled by the censors? Small groups of people openly and defiantly criticizing the government isn't something communists are known to tolerate.

Nor worries, I'm sure Space Jam 2 will give a interest bump after it is released in theaters.

Wasn't it Game 3 up against most NFL games though?

#5 I wouldn't watch any sports league that would have LeBron James as a member.
