Done with the NFL and ESPN. Cut off my cable with ESPN package and haven't really watched the NBA anyway so no big loss there either. A lifetime sports fan but I can honestly say frick democrats for ruining that too.

Just sayin
Let me guess....the score was tied at 99 with 2 minutes to go. The last 30 seconds of the game lasted 30 minutes in real time. Somebody took the lead with 1.1 seconds to go but the refs had to review the tape and they reset the clock to 1.3 seconds. There was an inbounds play at mid court, a pass, 2 dribbles, the final shot was [missed] or [made].
Wash, rinse, repeat.

By watching, you are supporting their views, because viewership keeps them on tv, and tv gives them revenue and a platform to preach.

I’m boycotting them and writing letters to their sponsors.

Sell out... you may enjoy it and it may feel good but your are still knowingly supporting an organization that hates the human race that encourages slave camps in China, that supports BLM as if it’s some kind of charity group... wake up ! Don’t be a coward and stand for what’s right.

The bigger question is whether we should allow them to destroy sports, and what can be done to take them back?

My dad boycotts the NFL every year only to get excited when the Saints make the playoffs. People boycott Chick-fil-A for being pro marriage. People boycott Target for being pro LGBQT. People boycotted In N Out for being Christian. Same with Hobby Lobby.
People are stupid. No company or team will agree with your views 100%. Move on and enjoy life.

Personally for me, it's not about boycotting for the sake of boycotting.
Everything that is happening has turned me off to the point that I have no interest in watching.

There will be some that do and a good number the fans who were normally in the stands will be watching, so local ratings may not be too bad. But I think as the games roll on and the ratings roll in for the games , the NBA, etc. is going to have some much bigger concerns. The NBA was doing really bad with ratings this season even before all of this stuff. And this will be bad for them.

Just tune in after the millionaires bend the knee and then stay off twitter, 'cause espn blasts the anthem bs too. Do those two things and you'll be fine

I was never a fan of the NBA in the first place, but 100% boycotting them after all this shite with China.

While I agree that no company will agree with your views 100%, the NBA is obviously going overboard with all of this stuff. So there will be a significant number of people who will move on from the NBA and enjoy life.

I'm not boycotting the sport; that seems like a cut off your nose to spite your face reaction.
It makes more sense to take note of the sponsors, and focus the boycott there. That's where the real TV revenue comes from.
Pro Sports are so profitable, that a small dip in viewers will hardly be noticed. The sponsors on the other hand have very small margins, and you are much more likely to change their behavior is there is even a slight indication that revenue is down.

Political? I am boycotting because I can't stand their anti-American, anti-fan crap. They are pampered, dumb entertainers who got out of their lane and now offend every fiber in my body.
I am done with them. (former every game I could find on Sunday.. Monday... etc and analysis junkie)

I can't even stand being in a restaurant that has NFL talk on the tv or former games. It has gotten that bad.
screw them

They will notice if people quit watching and quit buying merchandise
