The US ratings are down from last year, but the combined North American ratings are the highest since 2016 Cubs vs Indians.

Viewership would probably be terrible if the Yankees weren't in the world series

Put a Japanese player in the nba finals and watch what happens

Go look at the Canadian tv ratings when raptors made nba finals

quote:

56% of the Canadian population (20.5 million viewers) watched all or part of the 2019 NBA Finals.


And then bury this in your post

The US ratings are down

Thankfully this is true; shows Americans haven't gone full retard on sports and can sniff out and stay away from the fraudulent ones.
