Why are NBA TV ratings down so much?

[Wamu]

Royce O’Neal was in the original post you are referencing.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Stop your bullshit. You didn't call Bosa out but called LeBron out. So when a white athlete has a political stance you agree with it's okay but when a black athlete does the same thing you have a problem because he's not on your side. Hypocrite much?

Why does it have to be about race? Is it not okay to disagree with a player's politics if they're black?

Lebron is arguably the most prominent and well-known athlete in the world...he also happens to be one of the most outspoken athletes when it comes to politics and social issues. A lot of people disagree with him on those topics and a lot of people agree with him.

Are people who disagree with him, not allowed to respond if they disagree with something he says/posts?

I guess you could actually read the posts, but you’d rather blindly hate a random guy on the internet.

I hate someone? Damn kid you're as stupid in the NBA threads as you are in the PF's. All I did was ask you who you were talking about and like I said I knew you wouldn't answer. Keep on keepin' on.

1. It was my bad for not paying attention to his mention of O'Neal, @tlance pointed that out. Kinda skipped over that not really knowing who he was.

The reason I said something in the first place is he's been know to talk-shit about LeBron in the past.

To be fair...who hasn't talked shit about Lebron in the past? Dude makes posts that bring it on himself sometimes.

Hell, even Wiggy has talked shit about Lebron when he was still a Cav. lol

Everytime I put an nba game on it’s the 76ers playing without embiid or the lakers playing without Lebron. It’s stupid. I used to follow the bulls religiously during the Kirk Hinrich and Tyson chandler years. I’d even follow the playoffs when the bulls weren’t involved. Now I might put it on because everything else on television sucks, but I’m usually not even interested and doing something else.

That is so interesting and surely applicable to the entire NBA watching public

I don't recall ever talking shit about him. Well except his televised decision, when he said he'd remember all those that disrespected him after duh decision, his hairline, his lame attempts to pretend he has more hair that than he really has and his terrible choice of team when left the Cavs for the 2nd time. And the team he plays for now is in a bad part of town.

You are 1 to 2 years behind with this argument

Oh, are players not sitting out anymore?

Not nearly like they were no. The 65 game requirement has made a lot of difference.

Still gives them 17 games to sit out…

It’s not really happening, there are certainly injuries though.

Then, I guess people stopped caring about a league in which the players don’t want to play because they are tired.

Next year SGA will be the first player to make $80 million. The salaries only go up if profits are up. Get back to me when salaries start down.

I think it is more applicable than you believe. Do you actually sit down and watch a 3.5 hour college football game, for example, in real time(commercials and all)? Do people still do this without DVRs? I don’t have the attention span or the time for this kind of commitment anymore.

Yes it’s the point of having a remote

Been watching some of the stuff on Ricky Henderson. It has me contemplating where he ranks in all the baseball players I have seen. I think he is without a doubt a top 5 player in my generation at least. I couldn’t argue against him for any honor.
