There is clear evidence that the “woke” movement has caused a decrease in sports ratings. It has affected sports shows and networks. It is a constant reason stated by people who aren’t watching.

You want to pretend that the majority of people are tired of “woke messages” being injected into to sports is reality, I don’t know what to tell you. People are saying they are tired of it, the rating reflect that sentiment, and two major leagues are attempting to use damage control. Yea people not watching is having a negative affect on the leagues ratings/revenue.

No there isn't. NHL playoff ratings had free fallen... are they also being "boycotted" because of woke messages?

You guys are delusional.

I'm still laughing that some guys who would never spend that much money on style, clothing, shoes, etc... claimed your "boycott" of Nike harmed the company

Their target market are the kids and adults who spend hundreds on their shoes not good ol baws.

So, who is affecting the market then?

Clearly, someone is.

The league will likely take an epic pay cut.

Some group, somewhere, is affecting them.

Your boy Adam knows when there’s a full season next year with games during the week no one watching will be even worse. Instead of having a few games with no viewers it will be amplified even more.

think the people boycotting the NBA cause they are so offended by the messages for social justice are not really that big of the NBA audience like they think they are. But keep taking credit it makes you feel better pudding.


You realize that a huge chunk of their viewing audience consists of casual viewers right? This pertains to all sports. Casual viewers will simply watch something else. This isn’t complicated

And if the social messaging wasn’t that big a deal to the NBA’s bottom line, Silver wouldn’t have had any reason to make the statement he did. I mean use some common sense.

You guys are delusional. Ratings for every sport is down, you guys have no effect and aren't even taken seriously unless they're selling cheap beer, trailers or guns.


Are you fricking stupid? Even if what you are alleging is true, the fact is ratings are tanking. The league needs to be scrambling for each and every viewer it can get. Instead, it tells the segment of its customer base that actually pays the freight (hint: it's not the urban youth) that they're racist hatemongers who need to be eradicated from society. Sound strategery.

One thing is certain though: all this garbage obviously hasn't helped ratings.
