    Is it time for the League's Commisioners to be canned

    For months they have been telling us that the public is starving for sports before they decided to let ghetto kids chuck the bird at Americans.

    The result is a double digit decline instead of their expect surge of viewers.

    Now the NBA are blaming Lebron for moving to L.A., instead of blaming Lebron for what he really is.

    Here's the thing that gets me. I saw a video of Golic and Wingo discussing the falling NBA ratings, and they gave a whole bunch of reasons for why they were low. But they never even once addressed the elephant in the room: That people were turned off by the politics, Black Lives Matter being painted on the court, the kneeling for the anthem, and all the social justice messages. If I want to see that I'll just turn the channel.

    I've known for years the sports channels and especially ESPN have had a left wing agenda, but I can't believe they didn't even acknowledge the most likely real reason people were tuning out.

    By the way, Cancel State Farm, they're sponsoring the NBA. I've heard the NBA's TV contracts are signed through 2023, so they're going to get their TV money regardless of their ratings. The networks are the ones suffering. Hit their sponsors and they'll have to listen.

    There are all sorts of out clauses on their contracts and what the NBA did to itself is bound to at least require a readjustment of the contract.

    I think it's too late for that. Americans are not happy. What nation does this "National Basketball Association" represent again?

    Marxist "Black Lives Matter" slogans painted on their courts? People are over it.
