Ummm....it has more to do with people losing their jobs and not paying for cable.
Viewership is down for the NBA, ESPN sports related programming, and NFL Hard Knocks

They don't care. They weren't watching anyway and the age demographic who watches the NBA are still viewers.

It’s the middle of the summer. We don’t even have anything to compare it to because the NBA never plays during this time. There’s no protest going on with the NFL on hard knocks why is their ratings down. It’s an election year and unprecedented circumstances, less people are just watching sports and cable as a whole not just the NBA. You came in on your conservative white man bag and your not seeing the whole picture.
Looking at these first round playoff times....
Might not see a big jump until the second round

This is a problem. They’re playing ball when we’re at work and shyt smhIt's 1:50 in the gotdamn afternoon and the Lakers are currently playing. I won't be home for a good 6 hours
I think a ton of old people watch wrestling as well and tv watch it on cable, a lot of folks stream the nba!
the first guy quoted goes on to say that those are just national numbers and are not bad
meanwhile la times is reporting that everything is doing well, especially mlb: Sports-hungry fans are welcoming live events back to TV
"NBA viewing in prime time on TNT and ESPN since July 30 is even with pre-pandemic levels. But the games have a larger share of the TV audience — which is typically smaller overall in the summer — than they did before action was paused.
The number of people who have tuned in to NBA games over the 12 days since play resumed — 47.2 million — is 49% higher than the 31.7 million who tuned in during the first 12 days of the season, according to Nielsen."

i think any reporter writing that the ratings are bad doesn't understand tv ratings or is just parroting clay travis. that second "article" in the op is just a summary of an article from clay travis's terrible website.

where did you used to hoop at?
Me and my brother would drive from Fayetteville to Tyrone some weekends hoping to catch some white boys at this court down there and ball out on their asses. I forgot the name of it

do you honestly think those "respect the falg" cacs were watching the NBA in the first place?

The NBA panders all the time. They’re just pandering to some cause they don’t like.
Show me a person who claims they tune in to see the anthem on TV and I’ll show you someone who’s in line ordering beer during the anthem at an event.
