haven't been keeping up with the times have we?
"reported yesterday TNT is seeing a daunting 22 percent declined and ESPN is down at five percent."
NBA Finals ratings down nearly 25 percent
Stateside ratings for the NBA's first international championship series are down but not out.
adage.com
The New York Knicks (down 38 percent on MSG) and Chicago Bulls (down 24 percent on NBC Sports Chicago) had two of the four biggest local TV ratings decreases this season. The Bulls’ 1.36 rating is the team’s lowest in 13 years.
the biggest ratings decline came in Cleveland where the departure of LeBron James from the Cavaliers caused Fox Sports Ohio ratings to drop 58 percent

Why does this upset anyone?
The ONLY ones with any right to get or be upset are the "Owners/Governors/Guvna's" .....and I don't hear them fighting to be called owners
IF they're fine with it .....what's the problem for anyone else?
Personally I like Guvna said with a British accent....as in Hello Guvna

You just made my point for me....The NBA, unlike other sports leagues, is a star driven league....When LeBron moved out west and the Lakers TNT games started at 10:30pm et...well, you already pointed out what happened, on a macro and micro level....Imagine one player being so important....haven't been keeping up with the times have we?

Value of NBA franchises, per Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtba...2019-knicks-on-top-at-4-billion/#3c44ff84e667
"Soaring local media deals, new arenas and basketball’s international popularity continue to push the value of NBA franchises higher.
The average NBA team is worth $1.9 billion, up 13% over last year and three times the level of five years ago."
Imagine your net worth tripling in 5 years....

Dumbest ish ever.
If I paid for my car, I would be considered the owner of the car.
If I paid for my house, I would be considered the owner of the house.
If I paid for a restaurant, I would be considered the owner of that restaurant.
If I paid for said restaurant, then decided to employ others, I would be considered the employer and owner
If I paid for a franchise, I would be considered the owner of the franchise.
WHO IN THEIR ******** RIGHT MIND WOULD ASSOCIATE THE GUY WHO PURCHASED A FRANCHISE A SLAVE MASTER FOR CALLING HIM THE OWNER???
If we're going to be "conscious" in today's society, can we tackle real social issues and not this b.s?

Great another thread telling black people how they should feel and properly react to their experiences. Audacious Paternalism all over the site today.

As elaborate and true your examples have been, nothing you listed can be argued against ...still, your missing point. The NBA especially this new regime views its player not as commodity but as partners. They understand that these guys are the cash cows and collectively have more power then ever before. Look at the top players in the league. If a owner came out and said something crazy about lebron or Steph or any of the top guys there would be soo much pressure on that owner step down.
Men like Donald sterling for instance, and he’s not the only one, have indeed thought of its players in a “I have ownership of you” or I’m the reason you live the lifestyle you do view. Which for any grown man who worked hard for where he made it from and too is demeaning. Men like that buy an organization. But they don’t really own it. They are in a partnership role with the league and it’s players. In fact the de facto “owner” if you want to simplify it to that simple term is indeed the commissioner who is appointed by the men who reside over the teams. It’s like if A common citizen says I own America( white nationalist think along these terms) because I pay taxes and I vote on the commander and chief and if I wanted to I can have him removed. But ofc sane ppl know that they don’t own the presidential position.
Just like you heAr so many say it’s a privilege not a right to play in a professional league, it’s also not a right to be in partnership with the nba.
The part I bolded mostly resembles the role of “ownership”in sports. Yes as a person who bought a restaurant and decides to employ workers they are indeed a employer. But I’m sure you wouldn’t say the employer owns the employees. It’s only in professional sports this seems to get mixed up.
**** I rambled a lot lol. I’ll sum it up to this: why does anybody have a problem with this change by the nba. They rightfully view their players not as commodities but as partners. So if a business partner(s) raises a issue about something in the business, what’s the problem with it being changed?
This was actually a question that was raised in a college course I took.

I hear you bro..but it’s about changing the mentality at the top of society. You think a dude like Donald sterling was the only one who viewed his black players like that? How many former players do we see at the top of organizations? Or diversity period? In a league that 75% black..Even changing something so simple as this can have a impact. As silly as something like this sounds.
