The bigger problem is NBA has made their large market cities the priority and when they aren’t in it that hurts ratings.
NFL has the best player cap system and its not even close. And they rule ratings because every fan of a team knows no matter how bad their team is they can turn it around fast due to true cap limits.
NBA has lux tax and the big market teams can afford to go over cap and buy the top stars and keep their monopoly and buy rings for the most part. This turns off a lot of fans.
Throw in obvious ref cheating like LAL historical FT disparity. Fans know thats man made to keep their aging star LeBron in playoffs.

Has nothing really to do with politics, but likely more to do with the superstars and their personalities. People are sick of LeBron types, and the game is not as exciting as it used to be.
It will still make money, but its not something people prioritize though.
Also, the NFL wasn't doing that great this year until the stupid Taylor Swift garbage started getting Tween and Teens who have no interest in watching football to watch to get random shots of her in the crowd.
It was quite pathetic but worked for the NFL.
