Highlights:
- “Virtually everyone’s at home, so you would think that the NBA season would be a record year for ratings. And not just that, but these are the woke NBA Finals… These are the woke games.”
- “It’s no coincidence that the more woke the NBA goes, the more audience they lose.”
- “The whole point of a National Basketball Association or a National Football League, or Major League Baseball, is to foster a sense of national unity.”
- ‘‘Scholars have noticed that sporting events have the capacity to help undermine civic nationalism by expressing ethnocentric loyalties.”
- “We’re seeing a very clear escalation of this propensity to use civic national rituals to protest and dissent and demonstrate against the nation embodied by these civic national rituals.”
