Clay Travis, founder of Outkick.com, spoke with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade on "Fox & Friends" about the ongoing issues plaguing the NBA and the Tokyo Olympics. He said the NBA is pivoting from their "woke" campaign after seeing two years of bad ratings and warned of "nervousness" surrounding the Olympics amid looming fears of COVID-19.

CLAY TRAVIS: This is the go woke, get broke synopsis year. Last year, worst ratings of all time for the NBA. This year, second worst ratings all time. It's not a coincidence. They went political. Now they're trying to George Costanza-style pretend it never happened. There was almost zero politics this year. That's going to be tough.

Fox News fails to mention that the Daytona 500 and Masters posted their lowest tv numbers this year.

I dont understand why sports viewing is down across all sports, I imagine DVR and so many non-sports streaming options ... but its funny to see Fox News try and make it seem like its a result of backlash to "woke" sports by isolating the NBA and Olympics.

All sports viewing are way down.

Its just funny how Fox News manipulates its audience.

Well not sure about overall but I imagine a significant percentage of Redskins fans left the team and the NFL after last years decision to retire the name. Would be curious to see what the hit actually was but I bet they never do a study on this (Especially after the WP polls backfired on them).
