Stupid league where nobody plays defense, rules violations are either not called (traveling, carrying) or called only to effect (phantom fouls), and illiterate prima donnas are pampered and given platforms that far exceed reality...

Watched about 5 mins of a game one night sitting at the bar of a local restaurant. It was brutal. Never again.

Unless I’m wrong events like the us open and Kentucky derby we’re going against college and pro football for the first time ever. Of course their ratings will go down

The nba finals was on a Wednesday night competing against one baseball playoff game

With Lebrun and Los Angeles lakers playing. Two of the biggest names in the game

I don’t think you can sugarcoat how bad this is

Come on this is fake news. The NBA just had record TV ratings for the first two weeks of seeding games was up 325% in the Philippines, 130% in Spain, 88% in Mexico, 79% in Lithuania and 29% in Italy, per NBA data.

Spain has a population of 46 million.
Lithuania has a population of 2.7 million
Italy has a population of 6 million.
The Philippines has a population of 106 million
Mexico has a population of 126 million.

Remember the US only has a population of 328 million despite the fact the games are played in the US. Also please overlook the fact that the NBA is offering free to air NBA games in these countries. The fact remains its more popular than ever!

I consider the NBA a boutique brand with a cult following.

LeBron is not compelling anymore unless you are a hardcore fan. Add Covid. Add SJW that nobody cares to see.

The NFL is hurting and it was/is by far the king of pro sports currently.

I'd like to see whatever channels aren't showing the games do man on the street interviews with these quesitons:

What sports events are happening tonight?
What is the next sports championship to be decided?

Who are playing?

Dodgers played last night and Kershaw put on a pitching clinic.

Today it's the Cubs and dreamy Kris Bryant.

Pinstripes will always win out over basketball skirts and lace doilies.

I for one thank GOD for the NBA and the NFL.

If these idiots weren't pro athletes, they'd be breaking into houses, robbing, raping and murdering folks!

In a way, the NFL ratings not being down too much actually help damage the NBA because it takes away one of their biggest defensive arguments.

Plus honestly the NFL hasn't been nearly as bad as the NBA with the virtue signaling and radical left messaging.

We all felt it more acutely than NFL fans in say - Pittsburgh where the team has been pretty patriotic by comparison. The Saints were arguably the most woke team which is why our board was particularly upset at the NFL.
