NBA Game 6 Finals - Now With Even Fewer Fans!
I think I watched about three minutes of the entire series. At least with the fuckin' Lakers winning # 17, it'll be with an asterisk.[Zero Hedge] - The last game of the NBA Finals - arguably the most important game of any NBA season - posted ratings that were about 66% lower than last year's Game 6, according to Breitbart. It is the latest bad news in a stunning collapse in ratings for the league and, specifically, for the NBA Finals series this year. For comparison, Sunday night's Seahawks versus Vikings regular season NFL game, featuring one team that hasn't won a game all year, had nearly twice the views of the game where LeBron James clinched his fourth NBA Championship, according to ShowBuzzDaily. Recall, just days ago we noted that "Player Protests/Politics" were cited as a driving force as to why people were abandoning watching the NBA. In a recent poll on Yahoo Sports with 22,266 responses, people were asked why they thought the NBA's ratings had dropped off. Player protests/politics was the overwhelming favorite, at 61%, as to why people are turning away from the NBA. Most of those people will turn away permanently. I'd love to have a bug in the NBA Commissioner's office - they're surely in full-blown panic mode right now. Posted by: Raj 2020-10-13 |
