LA isn't a big media market

Game 1 of the NBA Finals had the lowest ratings of any finals game.

Game 2: "Hold my beer."

LeBron James is a real millionaire who paid more than $0 in federal taxes. Also, the entire world won't laugh out loud when he dies.

When the pathetic size of the puny NBA audience collapses to twice Fox News' awesome world-beating ratings, it's mostly all about the feels.

Wow, the frenetic commenting activity in the last 4 or 5 posts looks like a wounded animal lashing out.

"I will avenge myself!"

Numerous contributing factors here:

1) The NBA hasn't done itself any favors with all the left-wing political posturing. Long-term damage from that will be demonstrated during the next TV contract negotiation because the NBA refused to behave in a professional manner.

2) No crowds in attendance - makes watching games difficult to impossible, at least for me. Who thinks a) these people were watching from home instead or b) will ever go to another NBA game after being treated this way?

3) They went up in part against NFL football last night, always a ratings loss - it drew 3X the ratings.

And for this lifelong Celtics fan:

4) The Lakers are in it - "CLIIIICK". I'd rather watch Law and Order reruns.

'Lashing out' - the term du jour to employ when a lefty is unable to refute your arguments.

This president will be removed by Americans who haven't lost their souls.


All these deletions (a continuing series)... do they make the election feel less upsetting to you?

Sports polling on this exact topic from Marist:

http://maristpoll.marist.edu/marist-center-for-sports-communication-marist-poll-results-analysis/#sthash.4u8GD98x.dpbs


Q: Please tell me if athletes speaking out on political issues has made you more likely to watch live sports broadcasts, less likely, or has it not made any difference?

More likely: 21%
Less likely: 32%
No difference: 46%

So, 67% "more likely/who cares" to 32%.

Basketball is less impacted than that. NBA fans answered the question 73% to 26%.

But if it makes you happy, 44% of NASCAR fans said "less likely." Who wants to support a sport where you can't even hang up a friendly noose anymore?

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
