Yeah, I’m surprised they don’t have little satin cushions.

If we all think the NBA has been bad in virtue signaling, one oughta see a WNBA game.

They definitely go waaay over the top.

When the Kardashians go off the air, it makes other low-IQ TV watching more important.

You know the medium of television is in serious trouble when it can't even keep that show going.

I saw a commercial for a show with adults running around obstacles playing tag. Yes, tag.

That’s right. Games are not important.

When I hear the word NBA, I immediately think of LeBron James’ face, which makes me ill.

Let China pay for them. We can’t afford them here.

Maybe Lebron should promote the old USSR anthem as the BLM anthem

When these games are replayed twenty years from now, they may be compared to the 1968 Olympics. The U.S. athletes raised the ‘Black Power’ fists during their awards ceremony. It wasn’t well received.

This isn't a response to your post but do you remember when the O.J. Simpson car chase was split screened with the 1994 NBA Finals?

I think its good to have some hero's to follow....it was always the good guys vs the bad guys for me....

but when there are no good guys, its just nonsense....there's nothing to be excited about, nor proud....

The games used to be unimportant but fun.

Now they are unimportant and not fun.

Excellent summary

The NBA has lower Ratings than ever before? Then I guess Something Positive IS happening due to this China Born/Created Virus.

That’s may be the local sports! Little kids trying to make a basket and rejoicing if they get one is fun! It is actually a lot more interesting, because you can expect anything to happen! They are the community bonding exercise! And lets face it, sports is healthy on this level.
The pros are too good! There is no guessing. They will make the basket! All professional sports deteriorated to few specific plays, played over and over again, scientifically proven to be the most productive. I am quite sure that at this level sports are not even healthy, and probably heavily medicated.
Unless you happened to live near some franchise stadium, and have a lot of money to pay for the tickets, you are watching some teams on TV, thousands of miles away, with players who are drafted from places thousands of miles from their team location, even from different continents, switching teams on the dime. What is that for the community spirit?
