Haffey Warner Todd Huston 2 Aug 2020153,532 2:20 As the NBA and MLB return from their coronavirus-imposed hiatus, it appears TV viewers are not interested in what the increasingly woke leagues have to offer.

hoorta Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Could it possibly be people aren't interested because when you come right down to it- it's a phony season, protests or not? I found plenty of alternate things to do Sundays in "The Dark 3 Years" of no Browns football back in the late 90s. Can count the number of NFL games I watched in that time frame on my fingers. The same may well be happening now.... My not so bold prediction. NFL viewership will be down by a ton if they try and play this fall. I'm seriously thinking of cancelling my Sunday Ticket to watch whatever the Browns may dish up this year, and hope the local OTA guys carry several games. Or hope my financially secure pal doesn't cancel, and invites me over to watch the games.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't go to any Browns game this year because of that. I'll never be one to accept the disrespect for our Flag and Anthem just because there is a complaint, even if they do have a legit complaint. Far too many Americans have died for our country, including the Revolutionary War, so that our Flag would still wave and freedom would prevail. I won't even record the first several minutes of the games - I'll set it 5 minutes/maybe more...late to start recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also human beings at every level have an unfortunate tendency to drift towards the path of least resistance. Give anybody an excuse to slack off no matter what the job is and a lot if not most people will take it. WSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Is this actually causation and the BLM stuff caused low ratings? Not sure. We won't get the full story from Breitbart at the very least But if BLM kills baseball then I'm all for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Don't know who you're arguing with but I just said it was part of it. Baseball is losing its Appeal on many fronts. One of which is seeing a line of players whining about oppression who came to the United States from places like Nicaragua Dominican Republic and Venezuela. 85% Just meant 85% of the population is white people.

Gotcha. good finally. They don't care that you are distraught over your white privilege. They think reparations should come from you too. Also, we aren't 85% of the US Population. oh how I would guess that the percentage of football fans is close to that. If not it isn't far off.

Westside Steve Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 By the way woodpecker heres a list of Demands. I don't see any exception for you or any other white version of Uncle Tom. If you are opposed to these demands then you sir are part of the problem. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_for_Black_Lives#Platform WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
