NBA caves! No ‘Black Lives Matter’ on courts and jerseys next year
By Thomas Lifson

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver casually let drop the bombshell news that the NBA will remove the name of the Marxist revolutionary organization Black Lives Matter from its basketball courts and player jerseys next season. This comes following catastrophic ratings declines to all-time lows for the league’s playoff games. From Sports Illustrated:



    While the NFL is only suffering from a very slight ratings dip, the NBA has seen a severe viewer tune out. The question is, just how alarmed should the league be by this development?

    Here are the numbers for the first three games of the Finals between the Heat and Lakers.

    Game 1: 7.4 million viewers
    Game 2: 6.1 million viewers
    Game 3: 5.9 million viewers

    Those numbers for Game 2 and 3 are all-time lows for the NBA Finals.

I've already exhausted my 5/month quota of Seinfeld "That's a shame" memes. 

I am REALLY looking forward to seeing these thug's reactions when their paychecks start getting cut.

Carole King had a song that perfectly describes the situation between professional sports and fans.

NBA is in downright panic mode.  Mark "I'm Out" Cuban even called Cruz FOS yesterday in their Twitter war.   Say what you want about Cruz...  getting in an argument or debate with him is not generally going to make you look good.

And honestly?  The game I remember '60's- early '80's and it was far superior and more entertaining than the playground Thug Ball that is happening now.

All a person has to do is watch "The Last Dance" to see how far that league has fallen.  No mater your personal feelings about MJ.
