Why have NBA ratings dropped over 30
Aug 5, 2020, 4:09 PM
|
|
percent? I thought with a captive audience, they were expecting record viewership.
Wonder what may have led to this drop? Any thoughts?

Hard to watch the NBA and "peacefully protest" at the same time.

The protests are “mostly peaceful” protests. Mostly.

That’s what I say, who? NBA is not allowed in my house. My son in law has the same rule. I watched some hockey last night. I don’t have a dang clue about the sport but I plan to learn because they seem to be the only pro sport left worth respecting.

Guess you didn't see the the hockey player kneel for our national anthem while two black hockey players stood with their hands on his shoulder. He then stood for the Canadian national anthem. I say screw all pro sports.

Canada hates us huh? Guess they don’t need the protection of our military anymore.

Do you regularly watch lower levels of shuffleboard? Because

plenty of people here follow sports up to the collegiate level and then brag about not watching the best players play at their peak, apparently, you're one of them.

They knew it was coming. They advertised heavily for the upcoming games. All professional sports commissioners are spineless creatures who dance to the tune that is most popular. They have no gonads and apparently never have.

For me, it’s that they have BLack Lives Matter printed on the court in Orlando and every single player has a social justice jersey on. Doesn’t matter if they’re black white european whatever, they ALL are wearing the justice jerseys.
If they want to give players the option to wear it, fine, but you can’t make me believe every player genuinely wants to wear that. Cramming their agenda down our throat doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies.

They were given a list of league approved messages they could choose from to wear.

OK, OK...I get why some of yall hate the NBA. But I happen to I it. If you are sport's 'guy' (or girl), the NBA is awesome as the NBA has some of the best athletes in the world, if not THE best.
What I see is the product, and this is something that may happen to all sports.
The production value has dropped precipitously. The place they place is as dark as where the Coots used to play basketball. Looks dead on TV. There is not crowd noise, no "D-fense" chants, etc. Just dead. Kinda like going down to the Y and waiting for "next".
wondering if CFB can do a little better.

That along with a lot of the games being played in the afternoon on workdays and the games taking place 2 months after the season is normally over.

Here's why I have lost interest ...
Aug 5, 2020, 7:58 PM
|
|
1. The rules of the game are abitrary and optional. I'm not just talking about the game naturally evolving, I'm talking about a conscious decision to ignore certain rules, as if they did not exist. The result is an uglier, harder to watch game that rewards and promotes individualism and raw athleticism over skill, hard work, and teamwork.
2. The socio-political stuff is sickening, and pretty much squelches any interest I may have had otherwise.
3. Also, the stars that dominate the game, for the most part, seem to be egotistical aceholes to me.

I would say maybe because MLS, MLB, and UFC are often going on at the same time. Also with so many people streaming TV shows now a days they do not watch sports as much because they have other options.

Can you provide a source that shows the NBA ratings are down 30% since earlier this year?

I have read 12-16% but somewhere I seen something about 26% but not sure what it was saying it was down from. Idk if they are comparing these numbers to mid year games last year or what.

Love him or hate him, look up Clay Travis' most recent video. He discusses how the PGA is setting records for viewership ratings and 'dunking on' the NBA and MLB. Why? Because they have left politics out of their sport for the most part. They play sports to entertain the fans. That's it. That's all you gotta do.

Because the games are nothing more than exhibition games. The product is weak. There are no fans and many players don't care. They don't play D. Look how high the scoring is. It's just not a good product right now. If they were playing at home and away with crowds the ratings would be through the roof.
