ESPN and Woke Sports Media Ruining NFL and College Football

NFL and college football season is the favorite time of year for many Americans. Whether you follow your favorite team...fantasy football...gambling...football is the favorite sport for many of us.

However...we aren't allowed to enjoy this season like we have in the past. ESPN and the woke sports media is constantly trying to cancel football season because of the "pandemic". 

We look into the hypocrisy of the sports media...and explain how they're speaking out of both sides of their mouth. Personalities like Max Kellerman are calling for college football to be canceled...and is predicting the NFL won't finish the 2020 season.

We analyze the tanking ratings of ESPN and Fox Sports 1...and outline how we are in the midst of a seismic change in media in this country.

NBA Finals: LeBron James Title Win Leads to Lowest Ratings in History

LeBron James won his fourth title Sunday night...and his first with the Los Angeles Lakers. Unfortunately for LeBron...no one cared.

The 2020 NBA Finals was the lowest rated in the history of the league. We dive into why the ratings for the elimination Game 6 were so low...and how the woke media continues to cover for the NBA.

Also...we get into the ridiculous GOAT conversation between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. We explain why LeBron doesn't even belong in the conversation...and the reason why.

Is Drew Brees the Problem? Saints Playoff Contenders?

The New Orleans Saints won another ugly game Monday night against rookie quarterback Justin Herbert and the Chargers. Drew Brees once again dug his team into a double digit deficit with another slow start and untimely interception.

The Saints were Superbowl contenders coming into the season. However...with Drew Brees seemingly aging before our eyes...are the Saints still one of the top teams in the NFC?

We go over several of the problems with the New Orleans Saints. We explain why Drew Brees is the reason they've won the past two weeks...and go into detail why he's struggling right now. We also explain why Saints fans won't be seeing Jameis Winston anytime soon.

Dak Prescott Played Final Game for Cowboys? Baker Mayfield and Browns Playoff Team?

This week in our What's Real/What's Fake segment:

 

Has Dak Prescott played his final game for the Dallas Cowboys?

 

Are Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns a playoff team?

 

Did Kyle Shanahan bench Jimmy Garoppolo to protect him?

 

Did Derek Carr silence his critics with that upset win over the Kansas City Chiefs?

NBA Abandoning Woke Movement As Ratings Continue Decline; Too Little Too Late?

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was on ESPN's NBA Countdown earlier this week...and he was asked about the NBA's approach to social justice politics heading into next season. Silver explained that the league was removing Black Lives Matter from the court...removing messages from player's jerseys...and insinuated the political propaganda would need to be an off the court issue.

We were pleasantly surprised by his answer. Someone in a leadership position in the NBA is finally admitting that the infusion of politics into the league has been unpopular. The question is...is it too little too late?

We explain why the damage has already been done to the NBA...and that removing politics heading into next season won't be enough to regain the millions of viewers they've lost. It's likely the NBA won't recover until LeBron James retires.

NFL: Four Head Coaches Already On the Hot Seat

We're only four weeks into the 2020 NFL regular season...and we already have four head coaches on the hot seat. A couple of them are at real risk of not even making it through the season.

We take a look at the four coaches who are facing unemployment...and explain how they got into their situations. We determine which coaches will make it through this season...and which are likely to be fired during the season.

Captain Woke LeBron James Leading Lowest Rated NBA Finals in History

The 2020 NBA Finals...led by LeBron James chasing his fourth title...has been a complete disaster. The lowest viewed NBA Finals games in NBA history were Games 1, 2, and 3 of this series. I thought LeBron James was the NBA's biggest draw...?

The typical sports media continues to do everything they can to deflect the public from the poor NBA ratings by making excuses for the league. We prove why these excuses are invalid and aren't the reason for the NBA's decline in popularity.

We also explain who will eventually be the fall guy for the NBA decline...and how he could lose his job over the NBA's embrace of social justice politics.

Bill O'Brien Finally Fired; Where Do Texans Go From Here?

The Houston Texans finally had enough of the incompetence...and made the decision to fire head coach Bill O'Brien Monday afternoon. Although the timing is a bit strange...we explain why firing O'Brien was the right move for the Texans.

Where do the Texans go from here? Will they be able to attractive a big-name NFL head coach? Is Deshaun Watson enough to make the Texans an attractive job? We answer these questions...and explain why the Texans may have to pursue a younger coach to come in and clean up the mess left by Bill O'Brien.

Dallas Cowboys Have a Dak Prescott Problem; Matt Stafford to Blame for Lions Woes

The Dallas Cowboys have many problems...but one of the problems being overlooked right now is Dak Prescott. The media and Dak fan boys are covering up for Dak because of the record stats he's putting up. We explain once again why Dak Prescott is fools gold...and is a key part of the problem with Dallas.

Minshew Mania has continued in 2020. The question is...why? We ask why there's so much hype once again surrounding a quarterback who's accomplished nothing at the NFL level.

Matt Patricia will be the fall guy in Detroit...but is Matt Stafford also part of the problem? We explain why Stafford isn't blameless for the Lions 1-3 start...and how this could possibly be his last season in Detroit.

Also...fear spread over the weekend that the NFL season could possibly be canceled due to the minor COVID outbreak. We dispel this notion...and explain why a Superbowl winner will be crowned in February.

Woke NBA Finals Suffer Lowest Ratings in NBA History; NFL Ratings Rebound

Last week...we predicted on this channel that this year's NBA Finals would be the least watched in the history of the NBA. The ratings for Game 1 Thursday night came in over the weekend...and it was ugly for LeBron James and the NBA.

Clearly the majority of America doesn't care about the NBA right now. The league's embrace of social and racial politics has turned off millions of people.

However...ratings for the NFL have rebounded since Week 1. Though NFL ratings are down five percent this year...there have been several games that were up double digits.

We explain why the NFL is in better shape right now than the NBA. We go into a major advantage the NFL has over the NBA...relatable players. Players the American public support. Currently...the NBA has no superstar players that the majority of Americans like. Quite the opposite...the NBA is full of players Americans don't like.

The question is...will the NBA recover?
