Train Wreck In Slow Motion -- The Sports Page -- October 30, 2020

Updates

Later, 2:29 p.m.; just hours after posting the original post, Breitbart posted a survey showing that Americans now consider the old "NBA" the new "BLM." Link here: https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2020/10/29/survey-fans-view-nba-overt-political-thing-not-sport/.

Original Post

BLM: BLM braces for record 40% drop in revenue in 2020 - 2021 season. LeBron may sit out first few weeks (months?). ZeroHedge

NFL: watching a train crash in slow motion. Ratings plunge 35% this past Sunday; continues the trend in all major sports.

I watch sports talk television in the morning -- "Get Up" and "Final Take" -- and "Pardon the Interruption" in the afternoon -- not once have I heard anyone mention this train wreck. In fact, the commentators continue to show support for the movement.

  1. Sadly, overall the product on the NFL field has been mostly good. Too bad every league shot themselves in their collective cleats/skates/gym shoes

    1. Yes, I don't know what to say. It certainly seems there are a lot of 1-5 teams playing 2-4 teams in prime time this year. Hard to get excited.
