Viewership is down for the NBA, ESPN sports related programming, and NFL Hard Knocks

[tremonthustler1]

Ive been actually playing sports, since the pandemic started. Now that I know I could go out and play some 1 V 1.... I aint really trying to sit inside and watch hoops

shyt is boring

The main answer is this.

nba games losing in ratings to WWE Raw?

youtubers out here getting more views for their IRL basketball games than the NBA

 

[AuntAnniesPretzels]

Similar to how NASCAR has historically embraced right wingedness, the NBAs gone the opposite route. That’s perfectly fine if that’s what you want to do, just know that a loss of fans and a loss of revenue might come with it

Damn, a lot of people saying this. I guess HBO gotta chalk that up to people being so occupied with other stuff that the stuff we used to be accustomed to like Hard Knocks in the preseason isn't on anyone radar rn

Hard Knocks run its course, imo. No longer hyped to watch.

The ratings are low because the product is bad. NBA basketball has been trash the last couple of years. People naturally don't want to watch a bad product. Also the bubble doesn't help. It looks like summer league basketball instead of the NBA.

Yall got your hopes high thinking the pandemic would change people's attitudes on the current state of the NBA.

Bubble NBA is the most fun I've had watching in years

Millions of people from all over the world that are fans of the NBA are too busy stressing about how to keep food on the table and a roof over their head. Add in the fact that families are stressed out on how to deal with their kids schooling. They are not rushing to the TV to watch fukkin sports. Also bars and happy hour is dead. I use to always hit up happy hour to catch the games.

It's not rocket science

Do you think your happy hour helped the ratings breh

GOAT franchise ain’t worried bout the rest of y’all lowly peasants. Our numbers stay on point....

Not me bro. I'm in there every Tues night at 9pm CT

 

[ALonelyDad]

Does he ever talk about MLB viewership because 435K is way worse or does he just stick to attacking NBA?

 

[PortCityProphet]

nba numbers been going down for a min pre rona but ill let yall continue to excuses.
The league fukks itself with changes to the games, too many teams, the worst media in all of sports, and a horrible TV deal built around cable.

Bu bu but it's a global game...look at how many IG followers house of hoops got

And hardknocks was gon struggle regardless. HBO picked 2 horrible teams nobody gives af about and they got all the hbo max fukkery going on. Who didn't see horrible numbers coming for that

casuals hit the exit*

Nobody wants to watch a basketball game in a empty gym when they are already at home by themselves. Also real shyt is going on in the world sports is not a priority right now
