Gyms putting big sports games on TVs

Both my old and new gyms have lots of nice TVs on workout floor, in locker rooms, and lounge area. Basically everywhere.
During big NFL games or NBA Finals like going on now, they are rarely on (instead on ESPN softball or something else less watched). I sometimes ask and most of the time will change it but depends on who is working. Or may take 20 minutes to switch channel. Usually will ask which TV I want switched so it’s still not ideal.
I don’t usually send feedback to GMs but thinking about it. Basically to say if it’s something as big as NFL or NBA Finals, most common area TVs should already be tuned to it by start of game. Fair request?

If you want to watch the big game, stay home and watch it.
TVs with the game on the aerobic area (bikes, treadmill, eliptical) is fine, but not in weight area. It is annoying when someone is is benching in the squat rack, being distracted by TVs.

Are you there to watch tv or to train?

I just stream on my phone. I’ll even put it on my tripod. Granted, I lift in a private gym. Not a commercial gym. It’s not something I do often. Mostly during baseball season.

Totally get it because when the big game is on, my gym won’t serve alcohol from the smoothie bar to go along with the game.

Gyms leave their TVs on either ESPN, CNBC or CNN all day long.

I get rid of cable (YouTube TV) after football season because I only really need it for ESPN. I watch ESPN highlights at gym while working out but didn’t watch an NBA regular season game all year.
Basically, I’m making decision to watch NBA Finals games at gym rather than go to sports bar or start YouTube TV back up.
I’m not a big treadmill lover but watched game 1 on it. All of the other TVs on gym floor were set to channels with stuff nobody ever watches.
1st world problems.
