Lefraud James Is Causing NBA ratings to drop over political/social activism

[L8krH8tr]

Sports and political activism mostly on cases dont ever mix well. The fact that its causing NBA ratings to drop i am not surprised.
Ever since the kneeling of some NBA players to the political/social activism started in 2020. The ratings for NBA have being slowly declining downwards.

Same thing happened with NFL with their ratings.
Lebron James Is Causing NBA ratings drop over political/social activism

The owner of this bar cites LeBron’s hasty, misinformed tweet about the Columbus shooting as his reason. According to him, James should stay out of politics and political issues like police brutality and gun control.

“They just need to play the game and that’s it,” he said. “Their opinion doesn’t really matter. They’re using their position to push their opinions, and that’s just not right.”

Post this in the politics thread :facepalm

I actually agree I don’t care about lebrons opinion but I care what ja rule thinks about 911




In his own words “it’s murddddddaaaaaa”

Ok I’ll admit that post was written in bad taste

[Spurs m8]

This guy is racist and dumb as a brick...literally can barely put a sentence together

His on court game is bad enough...but his off court activism is 10/10 ghetto level

Just here to say that LeBron James is a bigot and an example of one Of the worst racists in the world but the NBA today

[coin24]

It’s hilarious that everyone is shitting on LeTiny, exposed himself as the dumb fu*k racist that he is:oldlol:

[light]

Stay mad.

Ratings are not important.

[theballerFKA Ace]

I don't care which way he leans politically but I find it amusing that guy who certainly has an IQ of no higher than 90 fancies himself as man capable of weighing in heavily on very complicated and sensitive issues that our country is currently dealing with.

Kobe was well versed in 3 languages. This bum can barely handle English. It should have been Lebron in that helicopter. Come back Kobe :cry:

You're clueless. LeBron is a lot smarter than Kobe. He's not only intellectually superior at basketball, but he's intellectually superior with money and in business. LeBron consistently makes better decisions than Kobe in all aspects of life.

On top of LeBron's league dominance and his entertainment and business empires, he is also now a leading, influential political figure.

So LeBron's empire and influence far exceeds anything Kobe managed to build with his knowledge of a literally useless language (Italian).

Kobe just coached girl's basketball. Whoop dee F#*%ing doo.

[MrFonzworth]

Imagine caring about the ratings as the consumer.

[light]

We've learned our lesson.

A guy like Michael Jordan refused to take a political stand on anything in the 80's and 90's and that lack of courage just deferred the responsibility of tackling those difficult issues to people in the future, which happens to be us.

And today we're presented with an opportunity to stand for real change and should we make like Michael Jordan and shut up because of shoe sales and TV ratings?

Hell no!

Ratings be damned, we will take a stand and demand better now. Even if it means losing the NBA altogether it will still be the right thing to do.

Sounds like what I imagine one of those children during the Children's Crusade might believe. The slaughter was inevitable.

i dont think anyone can deny that lebron is in fact, a racist.

If you guys hate 90iq racists so much, why did you vote for Trump?

That's why he's dangerous... he's just echoing whats being told to him by his handlers like a child, and message being relayed to many people.

[tpols]

Trumps IQ is probably between 110-115. He's not a genius like he would say of himself, but he was certainly a very sharp thinking and moving individual coming up. Don't let orange man bad cloud your judgement.

LeBran will not be winning political office unless he runs in africa.

I don't know what to tell you if you look at that guy and think he has above average intelligence. When you have money like that you just hire people to do the strategy for you.

Ahhh they're all fairytales that are either embellished or not true that people make up to feel better. That's bron stans in a nut shell. They think he's the goat but on the biggest stage loses more than he wins. They think he's a social activist but the one time he could of spoke up and put himself at risk he didn't say anything.

Just like believers of jesus they make up stories to make him seem more than what he actually is.

lebron is a better all around player than mj. the stats back this up.

stats and facts > fairytales

[Bronbron23]

lebron is a better all around player than mj. the stats back this up.

stats and facts > fairytales

Well that's debatable. Mj is a better scorer and defender while bron is a better passer and rebounder. Neither is significantly better than the other in any one area. It's pretty close.

And even if bron was a better all around player that doesn't mean he's better. Ben simons is a better all around player than steph curry. Is he better than steph?

[tpols]

I don't know what to tell you if you look at that guy and think he has above average intelligence. When you have money like that you just hire people to do the strategy for you.

You still have to be sharp, ruthless, and on the ball to survive in a business like that and achieve all the things he achieved. If you watched interviews of Trump when he was younger in his 30s and 40s, of which there are many, he's very calm, eloquent, and well spoken. He became more theatrical as he grew older, but its obvious the guy has a high level of intelligence. Someone with a 90 IQ is operating on like a 8th or 9th grade education level, and this guy went to Wharton lmao... And then survived in a business surrounded by sharks with very high IQs. He embarrassed a panel of senators and governors on the GOP stage in the debates. Are all those guys low IQ too?

no it isn't. jordan scores more because he shot more on worse percentages across the board...other than ft's. lebron is also a much more versatile defender than jordan.

[Johnny32]

and if simmons was averaging 29 ppg for his career in the postseason after many deep runs resulting in championships...yes he'd be better than curry. stupid comparison.

[Bronbron23]

no it isn't. jordan scores more because he shot more on worse percentages across the board...other than ft's. lebron is also a much more versatile defender than jordan.

No jordan scored more because he had to and he's a much better volume scorer. Dosn't matter how many shots he takes his efficiency Dosn't change. Bron on the other hand has admitted he's not comfortable being a volume scorer and we saw that in the 2015 finals when he was forced to be one.

As far as defense like everything it's pretty close. The numbers and accolades favor mj and we know how bron stans like using numbers so it's kind of hard arguing that as a bron stan. Plus you can't say "the stats back it up" and then just ignore the stats

imagine claiming someone who averages 29 ppg in the postseason for his career isn't comfortable being a volume scorer.

[Johnny32]

as far as defense goes. i'll take lebron's ability to guard 1-5 on the court (finshing second in dpoy voting multiple times, including clearly getting robbed in 2013) over jordan's one dpoy award in an era where he was the only elite two way wing in the lg lol.

[Indian guy]

The other leagues don't have a LeBron nor have they delved too deeply (if at all) into BLM. Yet ever major sport in America - NBA, MLB, NFL, College football, Golf, Tennis and Horse racing - suffered declines between 25-50% in 2020. Heck, the NBA made a concerted decision to ditch social activism in 2021 altogether and the ratings are still down. Even beyond sports, overall TV ratings are down 22% since the start of the new TV season (September 21, 2020).

The MAGA turds (btw, imagine a Trump supporter calling somebody else low IQ :oldlol:) are obviously looking to pin anything on "woke politics" because being called on their shit hurts their feelings, but it should be fairly obvious by now politics have little to do with why people have stopped consuming entertainment the traditional way.

2020

Ratings couldn’t have tanked more if we’d all simultaneously lost our remote controls. World Series ratings were down 36 percent over the previous year. NBA Finals ratings were down 51 percent. The Stanley Cup Final was down 61 percent. Individual sports fared no better. The Masters, played in November rather than April, was down 49 percent.

It should be noted that streaming viewership is rising as cable and network television viewership decline; CBS reported that Super Bowl LV averaged 5.7 million viewers per minute, a remarkable number. It’s also illustrative to note that those changing habits Lewis mentions include a double-digit decline in overall viewership — not just sports — for all four major networks this year.

I don't think Lebron has a 90 IQ, he is barely literate.

cry more

jordan was smart enough to know that all it would do is cause a big divide, as it has. What kind of stand do you want him to take in the 80s and 90s anyway? Should they be provided with MORE free housing and MORE free food? That is if you're talking about black people, which im quite sure you are.

as for this equal real change bullcrap, all it is is racism towards whites covered up like a dog and pony show. All smoke and mirrors. What exactly do you want to take a stand and demand? You wanna defund the police? Great job chicago is approaching 200 homicides daily now and the homicides are up 250% in new york since your great ideas went into place. The mayor of Seattle is begging for help as antifa and BLM pillage the city, pure utter comedy.

just own up to the fact you're just bla bla blah'ing like a parrot the garbage you're fed from places like CNN. There's a real world out there, quit making excuses

Conservatives cannot handle different viewpoints.

They want everyone to be sheep and blindly follow the radical conservative agenda.

They are degenerate/un-American scumbags.
