Love To See It! NBA Christmas Day Ratings Tank ‘Massively’
Apparently NBA Commissioner Adam Silver does not understand that insulting much of the country is a terrible business practice. Look for NBA revenues to tank again in 2021. “The awful Christmas Day ratings strongly suggest that fans have neither forgotten the NBA’s business relationship with slave-labor loving China, nor the league’s hypocritical social justice stances of last season.” STORY
Yeah but…does that include the ratings in China?
…it’s OK guys, your Chinese masters enjoy your antics for their people, kind of the same way they would the monkey house in the zoo, and probably they think of it in those terms, too.
Because the Chinese are very, VERY racist against anyone who isn’t Chinese.
Didn’t you know?

“The National Basketball Association’s day-long celebration of sports led the demos, scoring a 1.1 and 3.74 million total audience for its hours-long programming for ABC and ESPN.”
Still too high, in my opinion.
Pro Sports is dead to me. I don’t care about the political opinions of athletes that are in possession of a sub-par intellect. I have plenty of relatives that will share their uniformed, ill-informed opinions with me and I don’t need to pay a cable bill to have them do it.
Add to this the NBA is getting no revenue from the box office. Yet the players continue to get paid millions of dollars.
Brown Eyed Girl is right, it’s still too high. Too many people also watching NFL, soccer, hockey, college sports and nascar. Be Brave and stop watching.
Most sports are fun to play but are horrendously boring to watch!
I wonder how much of that ratings “audience” is calculated based on the assumption that sports bars are full of fans instead of a few bartenders and waitresses? And that’s just the few sports bars that are even open.
Couldn’t figure out why cars were slowing down, honking, folks were waving flags, celebrating, having a great time. A Sports bar put up a sign saying no more NFL, NBA, American Soccer, or American hockey.
That is because everyone switched to the WNBA which according to ESPN is much more competitive and the all deserve raises.

Even if they’re watching in China, how many people are actually watching? I mean what’s the real number, not the fake ass CCP numbers? You think that number includes the people in prison camps? Slave camps? The people who are NOT ALLOWED televisions or to watch at bars/restaurants because of their ‘social credit scores’ being so low?
GOOD!
Contact your states prison authority. Find your closest prison and when they have prisoners in the exercise yard. Go there and watch the crooks and thugs through the fence playing basketball. You have now seen NBA caliber basketball and it only cost you gas money and time.
The NBA is playing right now?! 😳
If you watch those treasonous scumbags, you deserve all the misery coming your way.
Different Tim….yes. Except it’s pay per view.
I would actually pay to see San Quentin take on Folsom.
Plus, with player salaries out of the way…this thing could make stupid amounts of money.
Get the scores down and it might be worth watching someday.
The solution is to raise the baskets to 15 feet and hire only dwarfs and midgets to play. Change the rules to allow goaltending – have each team put a midget in front of the basket to swat away scoring attempts. Get those scores down to more reasonable ones like 5-2 and 4-3.
The fun part would be seeing most scoring attempts as futile, but the scores that do happen would be far more interesting than they are now, which evokes a big “ho-hum, another basket” from me. New rule: No standing on the shoulders of another dwarf or midget while attempting to score. The league will be renamed the National Midget Basketball Association (NMBA)
Howard Cosell and Jimmy “The Greek” Snider, while in the broadcast booth calling the game:
Howard Cosell: Check out Portland Pee-Wees Tiny Dickie down there. Look at how high the little monkey can jump. How do those little squirts do it?
Jimmy “The Greek” Snider: It’s all in their buttocks. Over the centuries they developed incredible butt muscles that helped them get quickly back on their feet after being pushed to the ground by mean kids and dogs.
Cosell: Hell, he’s even smaller than Tom Thumb, who was so small he was constantly attacked by the neighborhood cats.
Snider: Did you see the Macy’s Parade last month? As the NMBA scoring leader, he was invited. Instead of riding a horse he was riding a cocker spaniel. Now that’s pretty god-damned small.
Cosell: I heard that he was so small he nearly got sucked down the shower drain after a game last week. The clubhouse guy heard the screams and pulled him out just in time.
Snider: Howard, he maybe small, but he has a heart as big as….as….a ten-year old girls breasts….Ha…ha.
Cosell: Jimmy, you like to laugh at your own jokes don’t you?…but really, his gorgeous ex-model wife is 6’5″ tall…and you know what they say, “never the twain shall meet”. Never, not once.
Snider: C’mon Howard, how do you know that?
Cosell: I sniffed it out after talking to her…Ha…ha.
