Unexpectedly, the NBA and MLB Begin to Go Broke After Going Fully Woke

Conservative-leaning people, especially men, long enjoyed sports not just for what they were, but what they weren't -- they weren't Leftwing Morality Plays like every single other TV production is.

The #Woke Corporate Complex has decided that no, conservatives must not be permitted this last refuge, either.

As the NBA and MLB return from their coronavirus-imposed hiatus, it appears TV viewers are not interested in what the increasingly woke leagues have to offer.
With both baseball and basketball draped in all sorts of Black Lives Matter and social justice symbolism for their opening games, a substantially smaller number of fans tuned-in to the rest of the week's games.

The article notes that the country is still largely shut down and starved for entertainment -- but apparently isn't interest in the return of baseball and basketball, at least not of the #WokeCorporate variety.

It also notes that back in May, a pro-am golf tournament drew record ratings.

But that wasn't #Woke. No kneeling there.
