NBA/U-Verse Bothersome Blegs

We're getting daily emails from U-Verse asking us to SIGN UP for NBA FINALS!!!

Nope.

But there's a reason:

The NBA has suffered another ratings disaster, with ABC falling 45 percent since the 2011-12 season, while TNT was down 40 percent, and ESPN was off 20 percent.

This ratings tumble is nothing new, granted. The past two NBA finals each have fallen one over the other, with last year�s down 51 percent to an all-time low for the championships. The worst was the final game, off nearly 70 percent year-over-year....

Gee, that's too bad.

I have to be honest, I'll watch the Bucks and Brewers. They seem to pretty non political compared to other teams. And Giannis seems like a nice guy.
But other than that, I'd rather watch soccer.
Can't believe I said that

"Reading" escapes Anony.

Third-grade readers know that Dad29 said nothing about 'activism.'

Reading is hard for Lefties.

But you talked about the ratings drop, and the article offers context, something you clearly lack.

Oh.

That's YOUR inane-Lefty take. See, thinking people have their own reasons for doing things. In Lefty-world where you live, you just follow the herd.

If the NBA's ratings drop has to do with anti-American stupidity, that's their problem, not mine.

As to inventing 'context' and 'nuance,' that's YOUR problem.

No, it's not my take, it's called background information to add precision, something you routinely avoid doing. Critical thinking is not your strong suit. Stick to Jack and Jill stuff.
