Only down 23%. . .surely American patriots can do better than that!
After getting dunked on repeatedly over collapsing NBA ratings, Mark Cuban turned off comments on his Twitter feed. https://t.co/yYp05rMpoa— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) August 31, 2020
Note to NBA and other like type fools, you only kneel for the Lord.
I’ve always been a big NBA fan but this BLM crap is like one big slap in my face. Having said that I may have watched 5 minutes of the Playoffs and that was to watch that rookie who plays for Dallas.
Down 23% is what they are willing to publish. I’ll bet the truth is closer to 36% or higher.

Don't care if it's a real quote or not. It's the truth.
I certainly understand your comment. For the 23%, their quality of life increased at least that much for tuning out.
Wonder what the demographics were...
I believe it is the combination of ‘race politics’, the thuggeries enacted by the team members off the court-overpaid as they are, the virus’ imposed fear tactics, and the association’s anti-Trump stand.
Seriously though, canned basketball on a TV screen is very boring... I watch March madness and that's about it, and apparently there will be none again until 2022. Pro basketball is complete nonsense.
Good idea,,,,go to China,,,,,These clowns destroyed their futured by themselves..........they forgot who pays the bills......
Too many variables to know how much of this can be blamed on COVID-19, politics, and/or a bad format (i.e. The Bubble). But with a mostly captive audience with limited options for entertainment (pro sports, college sports, movies, etc.), you would think a higher percentage was possible.
Covid victim?? The kneeling turned off a lot of folks and they ain’t coming back and they killed their own profession.
Vast majority of fans going to NBA games are white.
Great business to dis those who pay the bills.
Only 23%.
I was thinking the same thing. Disappointing as I expected 50+%. Maybe next time.

I think Breitbart may have actually understated the NBA's problem.
Also interesting: nobody's talking about demographics.
Let me know when Larry Bird’s Celtics are playing Dr. J’s Sixers for the right to play Magic Johnson’s Lakers in the NBA Finals....
