NBA and ESPN Promotion of Politics Continues Massive Ratings Decline

Michael Jordan had one rule he followed his entire career. Politics are off-limits. Unfortunately...the 2020 NBA led by LeBron James has chosen the opposite approach and continue to experience a massive decline in television ratings.

ESPN and the sports media aren't helping. Instead of tuning into ESPN and hearing about sports...we're being preached to about social justice. As a result...millions of people are tuning out of the NBA and ESPN.

We analyze the comments made by ESPN's Mark Jones...and explain why he is part of the problem instead of the solution. With the NFL ratings rebounding in Week 2...we explain why the NBA should be more like the NFL and become less political.

Instead...the NBA is doubling down on diving into politics. This will have an impact on the legacy of LeBron James...who will become the first face of any professional sports league to leave the league in worse shape than it was in when he entered back in 2003.
