LOL, Yep, But they’re not racists... Nope, can’t happen because we is black.

I foresee the end of the NBA; remember when Baseball was THE American game and then they went out on strike and the entire season was lost. I do not believe they have ever regained the fan base they once had.

The NBA is on the fast track to that same fate.

NFL and NBA could both be in trouble down the line. They may have experienced their zenith. My sports fan Grandpa was finished with pro sports in the mid 1980s. High priced cry babies from the owners on down. I am now like my grandpa, with no interest in the on going soap operas. Underpaid cheerleaders who voluntarily try out, concussion problems for men who voluntarily agree to play when young and then get paid to as pros. Owners sapping taxpayers for money to build stadiums or bolting for the next town. Players by and large being broke soon after their playing days are over. I have seen enough.

I don't, because it never happened. MLB has never lost an entire season due to a stoppage, but the NHL has.

According to the research site ballparksofbaseball.con, during the 1990s, which encompassed the 1994 stoppage that cancelled the World Series, 601 million people attended major league games. From 2010-13, just under 295 million people have attended games -- on pace to exceed the 1990s.
