It is always interesting to me that when some people cannot accept what is obvious, they always seek to find another reason. Despite the fact that many people have stated they were boycotting the NFL due to the disrespect of the flag and the National Anthem, many other people claimed it was simply an excuse to demonstrate their racism. They could not accept Reason #1, so they claimed it was because of Reason #2.
Now, we have the linked article from Bloomberg News. A major sports league with a much higher % of black athletes sees their ratings soar, at exactly the same time NFL ratings are tanking. Uhhhh... sounds like some folks need to find reason Number #3, or better yet, face up to Reason #1.
The most interesting thing here, to me, is that while there are many politically outspoken individuals in the NBA, the league has a hard and fast rule about standing for the national anthem. Political and social opinions cannot be expressed while on the court. Entertainment only.
