Tisk tisk... NBA finals viewership
NBA viewership keeps sinking: Game 2 of NBA finals was reportedly the least-watched NBA finals game on record. Article link below.
People make choices. Pro sports (especially NBA) wants to focus on police brutality. I believe there needs to be a more balanced discussion of "black lives matter." I believe a discussion of the killing of blacks in the inner city is a more relevant discussion. Maybe LeBron will be a little more attentive if ratings tank. Just like he's a little more concerned with his own and the league’s bottom line than fundamental human rights. LeBron has deep, lucrative ties to China because of his partnership with Nike, which does considerable business there.

I don't know or care what teams are playing or the outcome of it all. The NBA and NFL no longer exist for me.

I still get some enjoyment out of watching sports on TV, but it’s greatly reduced by the artificial “fan noise”. I could see having a little, but the volume is WAAAAYYYY to high. I hate it! You can barely hear the announcers.

I haven't been a fan of the NBA in a long time. But I think that a lot of people are not only turned off by all of professional sports using their games to promote political ideas, I think that a lot of people, myself included are not going to consider whoever wins these championships as legitimate.
Many players, including some of the best in all of the sports have opted out of playing. Some games are not being played and with the exception of the NFL, every season has been shortened. I realize that sports are a business but there has always been a degree of legitimacy to the playoffs and the champions. This just seems to be a money grab. I have lost interest in pretty much all sports. If they return to a full schedule with all of the players next year, I'll probably be interested again.

It was nice to see a cardboard cutout of Nature Boy Ric Flair in the stands at the Florida vs South Carolina game.

We have been listening to canned laughter on TV for years during Sitcoms.

And wish they would do away with it and allow us to laugh on our own.

The Miami Heat won last night over the LA Lakers who have three wins in the NBA Finals.
Watched a little bit of it. The NBA leadership have done a great job at keeping the players safe from the Corona Virus. |

I've enjoyed watching Brady playing for Tampa, but that's the extent of it for me. I too find the 'canned' crowd noise silly and annoying...like we needed to know when to cheer, hoot and holla??? The cardboard cutouts of fans in the stands is truly laughable.
The good news for me is that I really don't care who wins anymore...I will no longer stay up to watch the 8 0'clock games and even if Brady is playing a 4 o'clock game when dinner is ready I'll turn off the game, and chow down |
