Ratings were up initially ... and then fell like a lead balloon very quickly.
“MLB really fell off after opening day. In general, both leagues aren't getting the audience one might expect from a nation that's been deprived of entertainment for months,”
What Black supremacy? If there is any, I sure wouldn't know. I mostly watch baseball.
Blacks are disproportionately employed then whites in the NBA and even in MLB. When that happens in other jobs, it's called systemic racism. So in sports, it's systemic racism against whites, which equals black supremacy.

Blacks (African Americans) only make up 8 percent of MLB. The other dark skin players you may see are hispanic, but over-all whites still account for well over half.

Empty stadiums and teams losing players to the virus might have something to do with the poor ratings, but of course its some made up fantasy. Consumer interest in restaurants, airlines and schools are also due to wokeness.

Black Americans are 8% of the MLB. And in the NFL and NBA, most of the team owners and executives are White, so they are the ones doing the drafting. And alot of White players they are drafting come from Spain, Croatia, Russia, Germany, Serbia, etc.
Don't know if it's woke so much as it is the whole pandemic thing. Sports are so different right now.
EXACTLY.
First the season was delayed. Then it came back with no fans in the stands. People have lost interest / written sports off for the year. I doubt it as anything to do with kneeling or BLM or the rest.
You have the right to use your celebrity status to high jack a ball game to protest
The intention of the fans -was to go to a ball game for which they paid plenty -not to attend a protest
The way to stop a bad show is to walk out and not come back
Did the same stuff in 1968 shut down the steel mills and auto plants with strikes for outrageous wage demands -today they would call it “ reparations”

I grew up on baseball. I remember way way back in the day when the LA Dodgers phenomenon Fernando Valenzuela was the big thing , or when the classic Davey Lopez, Steve Garvey, Ron Cey era was the shiznit.
These guys were long before your time I'm sure, heck, I was just a small kid back then.
No sir, baseball is not boring. I played baseball and I was the Mark McGuire of any team I was on.
I'd get up to bat and when I hit a ball, it took off like it had a motor on it, to reference an M Night film.
It's a shame that baseball has taken a bit of a hit over the years, even before the COVID era.
I know you probably mean that in referencing to hitting, but all I could think of was "you were the roided-up cheater"?
1) Baseball is not boring. And yes, I take it very personal.
2) Many games go on at night. During the day, I can at least turn to the radio, or like I did one morning. I watched a baseball game broadcast from Japan. I listened to it on facebook en route to work, and kept listening at work (with the headphones in).
1) sorry but baseball is a very boring sport and I do like the Yankees. It is rather unwatchable on television and radio is worse. Mind you I also don't like men's basketball for being too fast and not defensive. I guess we'll settle to agree to disagree.
2) I know most games typically do happen at night but a lot like hockey and basketball, I have seen a LOT of earlier games this season during weekdays. Earlier games means less ratings.
