If 38% of 2000 people when given 10 reasons are choosing politics for not watching then it's not something that can just be hand-waived away. Like I said, I think corona is way more impactful but at least some people are watching less because of how political some leagues have become.


Or if ~35% of people polled were trump fans who never had any interest in basketball what would they answer?

I hate all sports

but basketball is the least boring.

Better than football where only like 5% of the game is actual game, or baseball where the actual game only happens in 5 second spurts.


i agree, i love baskettball played my entire life, but i cant watch it , between them kissing chinas ass, which make them traitors if u ask me, the rule changes to make the game all offense im not of fan of either, and i really think lebron james is a clueless piece of sh**

A trump supporter would take the call while watching the nba and tell them he stopped watching it due to politics.
I know ghot would for sure.

What does it matter who those people support? Lets assume you're right they are Trump supporters, at the end of the day that still means your sport is getting less viewers which means less advertising dollars.

I'm kind of baffled why you think boycotts due to politics in this case is so hard to believe. This is isn't really a new phenomena, i feel like we've seen a lot of this kind of stuff over the last few years with southern states, with certain companies like chick-fil-A, etc.

Basketball is a more boring version hockey, with even less strategy, for genetic outliers in a trait that often comes at the expense of general athleticism.

I prefer football and golf.

Trump supporters only care about beating the left, they would lie outright about changing their viewing patterns if it means they get one over the lefties.

If you're looking into watching something new try Rugby, Rugby Sevens or Union. I actually prefer Union.

I'm totally happy that we've set fire to the primetime beehive.
