Boycott the NBA

[davids22]

who dug up this thread??

Look's like you're not boycotting anything.

Now shut up and go watch the Heat/Celtics game like we know you're going to.

Well the NBA viewership and popularity has declined over the last 5 years as a whole. But I'll still be watching this season.

Is that a fact? Wasn't the finals one of the highest rated finals ever?

Or do you mean a whole like ratings in Cleveland and Sacramento went down?

That is false. If you have a source for that, please post it.

This is wrong. NBA ratings have absolutely surged since Boston put together the Big 3 and been pretty steady ever since.

Remember the finals were good but that's not the whole season. the lockout helped tick ratings up for ONE YEAR. People wanted to see basketball so the ratings ticked up. Basketball is slipping further behind the NFL and MLB. Look at the ratings outside New York, Miami, and L.A. But the ratings have declined every year AS A WHOLE except the post-lockout. It's true go look at the ratings over the pas 10 years.

My point is to show that the NBA ratings sunk so low over the previous 10 years the past couple years rises over the past few years don't mean that the NBA has strength in ratings. The NBA has many teams losing money from lack of attendance and care. Compare ratings from now to pre-2003 ratings. It's going to take more teams being good than just 5 or 6. That's why they had a lockout remember?

I concede. I checked the ratings. This man speaks truth.
