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.

From a reader:
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
ReplyDeleteYes, 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.
