Unfortunately for LeBron and the NBA, the NFL absolutely crusshed on Christmas day and won the ratings war by a large margin.
The NFL released ratings for its two Christmas Day games. The games averaged 24 million viewers, which was much more than the NBA’s 5 million viewers on the same day.
On Wednesday during an appearance on the New Heights podcast, LeBron admitted defeat to the NFL.
“I saw the f–ing numbers after the fact… From a viewership standpoint, y’all kicked our a–. The games weren’t as great as they should have been.”
“I saw the f*cking numbers after the fact… From a viewership standpoint, y’all kicked our a*s. The games weren’t as great as they should have been.”
