re: Scoot (WWL) said NBA ratings down 38%

I heard an NBA guy from The Athletic say the numbers are being "massaged" to include streaming and everything else. They are doing everything in their power to make their loyalists feel like the product has not suffered. So good luck getting actual numbers. He also mentioned that any time any NBAWoke critic brings up how they won't watch the games anymore, an army of "sure you won't" trolls starts in with the ridicule, driving even more people away. But there is no real effort by the league to persuade viewers other than loyalists to stay.
