Wait until these assholes figure out they just lost almost half their audience. I expect that corporate purchased seats will lag somewhat, but still sell 80% of their pre pro-China, anti-white anti-American shift. but the individuals, those season ticket holders.....I expect something close to half of those people just won't be back. Who wants to pay big dollars to go be insulted?

TV ratings for all sports, especially MLB and NBA, have been heading south for years. This BS will just accelerate it.

I wonder if they stopped playing completely, how long it would be before anyone noticed?

I hope there is a "no play, no pay" clause in all their contracts. Sit it out all you want if so.
I know "team ownership" is not like mortgage free home ownership because megabux but if I were an owner and my team failed to show I'd bench every one of them and call up some "minor leaguers" to finish the year. TV, fans, sponsors and advertisers expect so many games per year and I would damned sure see they got them all. |

I'm all for their boycotts. It saves me having to change the channel if I happen to stumble onto an NBA, MLB, or NFL game. Too bad the NHL caved. I was mildly interested in the Cup playoff. Don't think there will be college football.

Thats really interesting. Given all sports are practically in a free fall, its hard to point to kneeling as necessarily a reason. College sports for example haven’t been kneeling and theyre in a bigger free fall than NFL.
