Finals ratings down

[Saint Cy of JFC]

And as much as hardcore fans hate it, big markets do drive ratings.

The thing is: None of us should give a single solitary ****.

It's not like the NBA is on the verge of folding because ratings arent as good as the other major sports. We will still get basketball.

With how tv and live sports are changing I’m not sure viewership is like the most important measure of the popularity of a sport. I’m not even sure how accurately they can track all the data

I mean if that’s true, that’s the NBA’s fault, the NFL doesn’t have a market problem with ratings. Neither should the NBA. It’s about how you market the product you sale.

A fair point, and yes overall TV watching is down, but you still see the NFL doing fine as far as ratings where the NBA continues to slip quite a bit. There is a lot of different factors going into it though.

Or basketball just isn't America's sport and doesnt fit their lifestyle. Football is basically designed for America. It's overly violent and macho, and it's played mostly on the day Americans don't work.

NBA games are late at night when most people are sleeping for the next days work.

It's all important, but yeah, social media engagement might be the most important.
