because the lakers get ratings
if nobody watched then they wouldn't be on tv
it isn't that hard to understand
That's a fricking copout.
Are the Lakers on TV all the time because they get high ratings, or do they get high ratings because they're on TV all the time? The audience has been conditioned for three decades to believe that the Lakers are special and belong on TV all the time because LOOK AT JACK NICHOLSON! IT'S SHOWTIME! Showtime is done and Jack is old and caricature of his former self. It's time to give someone else a chance to be on television 3 times a week. They're the 5th best professional sports team in Los Angeles, and that's just because they don't have an NFL team right now.

yes its someone else's turn now...
I feel confident you don't do any sports programming for TV
lakers will be on natl tv until ratings warrant otherwise
don't like? Don't watch
this argument is pointless

I mean yeah it sucks that the Lakers are on TV so much... but with the NBA, there are plenty of games that come on national television, so you can watch a lot of good basketball and completely ignore the Lakers.
It's not like if you miss the Lakers game then you missed the NBA for that week or even that night. They have double headers on both Wednesday and Thursday, games on Saturday and Sunday, and games on NBA TV on Friday and maybe other days of the week.
So even if the Lakers get 25 games a year on national TV, you aren't missing any NBA action if you just don't watch their games.

Explain. Why is it the Lakers' birthright to be on national television for half the season? Everybody knows this team will be bad and dysfunctional, and somewhere between 6-11 AT BEST in the West even with Kobe Bryant.
The same reason most of the rest of the country is subjected to shitbird Dallas Cowboys football every weekend
