Collapse of Entertainment – Including Sports

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Oscar viewing fell below 10 million, a crash mode from last year’s historic low of 23.6 million viewers compared to nearly 30 million in 2019 pre-COVID. The entire entertainment industry, from movies and Oscars to football and sports, indicates that the future is not so bright and sunny.

I warned back in 2016 that football was entering a bear market. Indeed, 2015 was the peak that lined up with our Economic Confidence Model. It appears we are heading into a major low by 2023. However, the final low may not appear until 2027/2028.  I have also warned that politics does NOT belong in entertainment, be it Hollywood or on the football field. People turn to entertainment to be entertained — not indoctrinated by their political views.

Interestingly, 2015.75 was the start of the Big Bang, the sovereign debt crisis that will lead to the total collapse of governmental debt on a global scale 17.2 years from that turning point — 2032. The fact that entertainment also peaked with 2015.75 is indicative of the collapse in the public confidence in the government, which is becoming escalated by this COVID manipulation where these morons think they can destroy the economy and build it back better when in fact, they are only fulfilling the forecast of our model.

I find it hard to believe the global debt bomb will not detonate for another 11 years. If he said 11 months, I would wholeheartedly agree.

As a young boy. I learned and loved baseball. All the kids would get together,and play pick up. Sometimes all day. I can remember sitting with my grandfather, and listening to the Yankee games on the radio(there were very few games on tv with no cable yet) This started a 56-year love for the NY Yankees. Until this year. It had been building for a couple of years though. From announcers making excuses for multi-millionaires to the constant tweaking of the game itself. The game has been taken over by foreigners who can not even speak English. Then the politics,the no fans, the stupid masks,and the whole covid bullshit finally drove a stake into it. I sometimes wonder what my grandfather would think of the game he loved today.

What took you so long? I recognized this 40 years ago and haven’t watched a game since the strike in the early 1980’s.

The Yanks dug a hole with me when Brian Cashman wasted big money on A-Rod’s expensive contract. It’s been downhill ever since.

I gave up on NBA 30 years ago, gave up on NFL about 5 years ago with the Colin K crap. The BLM stuff caused me to realize I don’t want to watch 20 something game playing Black multi-millionaires who hate me (certainly don’t purchase products because of some idiot sports player)
NASCAR lost me with the playoff system, they were going down before they went woke.

Yes, I used to to box scores of Yankee games while watching the Yankees on channel 18 in Hartford CT. My exodus came much earlier than yours. A national pastime must have a nation, which is a collection of people in the same location with the same culture. We are not that. It is time for new nations.

THE SILENT CHRISTIAN SECESSION

https://tv.gab.com/channel/a/view/the-silent-christian-secession-60889b9762faf9e58a2d866c

Description

Andrew Torba discusses the Silent Christian Secession.

“Gab stands alone in the market as the leader and home of free speech online. Not only was Gab’s app banned from both App Stores, but our entire Developer Account was banned from ever submitting apps to those stores ever again. So be it, we wear that as a badge of honor and it should be a sign to those of you reading this that we are and always have been serious about our mission,” Torba wrote.

I Played baseball and football growing up loved the games, used to waste way to much of my time watching the pros then they got all sjw and I realized what a waste of my time it was watching these overpaid egomaniacs. There is so much more I have been doing with my life, so thank you professional sports for opening my eyes to how irrelevant you really are.

The really real “entertainments” will be on the violent bloody streets, burning cities, murderous battlefields, collapsing nations and dying oceans of the whole world.

Enjoy.

Won’t buy coke products I’m to white so my money is no good to them . Since blacks are only 13.4% of the population see how that market share works out !
As for pro sports and Hollywood Fuck all of them , don’t want to respect the flag or national anthem they also do not need my cash . Remember we stand hat in hand and hand over heart for those Americans that sacrificed everything for our nation of all races .
As for Hollywood actors , I do not need a moral lesson from someone who makes pretend for a living and is about as far removed from the realities of average Americans of all races .
It’s easy to point fingers and tell others how and why they should conduct their lives especially when the consequences of your opinions have no effect on you .
Now play nice and talk shit !

When the elected government of a state – Georgia – can’t enact perfectly reasonable election integrity measures without facing retribution from major corporations, those corporations need to be opposed at every turn. Coke, Major League Baseball, Delta Airlines. Who am I missing? FUCK EM ALL.

I spent a total of 8 years working for a third generation owned Coca-Cola bottling company, who also owned a Vending company and 30 industrial cafeterias, as a consultant on full time retainer.

Good family…was my bread and butter for a long time, the family was extremely anti-gun. However…I packed CC every single day for 8 years…and kept a .45 with two spare mags in my briefcase because of the Money Room my office was not far from…just in case of an armed robbery.
I had the camera in my office.

I wouldn’t drink a Coke now if I was paid.

Never was a soda drinker…for nutritional reasons…but told my wife, who occasionally likes a coke to find another brand – and under no circumstances bring one into the house.

She gets it…and me.

I have been drinking water for so long that it is rare if it a ‘pop doesn’t take disgusting when I rarely try one. Usually tastes like what it is – nasty chemicals and water.

They are 12.8% according to the newest census. So, shrinking a percentage point every decade?

I’ve seen a few articles last few months I was on TBP and wanted to ask if anyone has a link to the Armstrong Economic model that “predicts” what you can see on the graph?

Exponential inflation, exponential immigration, exponential propaganda from hollywood, exponential money printing… did anyone think this was sustainable? Eventually it gets ridiculous enough that even the midwits see through it.

Life is full of irony. Hollywood, a rich film maker and actor enclave that has been well known since at least the 1920’s for harboring radical, communist ideals will lecture you on how to think. Now they don’t even try to hide it anymore. I’d rather wipe my ass with 60 grit sandpaper than watch one 60 second snippet of these dolts lecturing us on cultural appropriations, critical nincompoop theory, and systemic idiocy. They have no audience left aside from the people they openly support, the lazy want something for nothing deadbeat expect a hand out crowd that tries to guilt trip normalcy into submission. Hollywood and the morons they represent are beacons of ignorance. Perhaps even the stupid people are starting to recognize this now that they’ve been fired for their race or expressing views not approved by the woke mob. Woke is a joke and congratulations to Anthony Hopkins. Best no show nomination ever lol 🙂

Sports and entertainment are not markets, they are propaganda outlets. The politics are the point. Remember when newspapers were supposed to die?
