Go Woke, Go Broke? NBA Reportedly Facing Billions in Losses, Steep Decline in Player

[Sybil Ludington]

For obvious reasons, 2020 has been a bizarre year for sports.


The stark lack of fans at games, the various “bubble” environments to try and mitigate the spread of coronavirus, and the awkward rescheduling forcing leagues to play much later in the year than normal have all contributed to a sports year that fans won’t soon forget.


But one major aspect of 2020 professional sports that fans might want to try and forget is the deluge of “woke” social justice protests that have proliferated the major three North American professional sports leagues.


While both MLB and the NFL had their own bouts of social justice demonstrations, no sports league tapped into those protests more than the NBA.


Yes, the NBA had a dissident or two, but the league, by and large, wholly embraced the “Black Lives Matter” movement. The NBA even went so far as to have “Black Lives Matter” emblazoned on the court during the duration of its bubble restart.

All professional sports lost money.

As a Laker fan for decades I hardly cared. It did not feel right and I paid little attention.

In contrast I paid much closer attention to the LA Dodgers even though I am not a MLB Fan. Watched much of the World Series and NO BLM Bull$#@! in sight!

I guess you weren’t paying attention.

And that's why I didn't watch any MLB this year. But the NBA pushed it the heaviest, and thus suffered the heaviest losses.
