NBA ratings continue to be inexplicably low this month, with all of the Twitter chatter surrounding the league’s return not translating into an actual increase in viewers.
When the NBA resumed its season at the end of July, many observers assumed it would be a ratings boon for all involved. Networks were starved for sports programming as a result of COVID-19, and basketball’s glut of big name stars should have converted into a ton of viewership.
Only it didn’t.
In the first week of action, the NBA’s ratings immediately sputtered. Rather than spiking due to an increase in hype and intrigue around the return of basketball, the numbers dipped to 14 percent below pre-COVID averages.
Last week, the games that took place from Thursday to Sunday drew smaller ratings than the same period the prior week.

Our models predict:
2 Million will die from COVID
The rest will die from climate change

Is the writer high?
Oh yeah.....it is very inexplicable....
Well said al baby, and add, why watch while they trash my love of country beliefs.
How strange? Can’t imagine why no one is watching anymore, perhaps the lockdowns have caused people to take up bird watching?
It is non-essential.
You mean to say “unexpected”? hahaha!!
Inexplicably.....LMAO. Yeah, okie dokie.
Don't care about College sports either.....
ALL these Woke sports prima donna’s can kiss my ass.
As usual, you bring insightful, clear thinking logic and observations to topics.
You are entirely correct.
Athletes and professions related to sports have live in a Xanadu fantasy land for over 100 years. Their income and lifestyles eclipsed that of most royalty.
I had a conversation with a friend of mine who is a captain on one of the major airlines. My friend also has an MBA, and is quite savvy. His colleagues only hope is in a CARES 2 bailout of another $30 Billion from Pelosi, McConnell, and Trump. He tried to explain to them that it won’t happen. He also tried to explain that their company sold a product that few people wanted right now — or will want in the foreseeable future. Many of his fellow employees can’t deal with the reality.
It’s pretty simple, actually. 😁🤗😆
Journalists are dumb. Sports journalists are the dumbest.
You mean since I decided to drop the NBA like a bad habit, since learning that LeBron and company are now working for the People’s Liberation Armp and are effectively slave owners?

Suppose having “Black Lives Matter” on the court has something to do with it?
Just maybe it is their proselytizing for Burn Loot Murder?
NBA Ratings peaked 2011-2012 season. They have been slowly declining since.
The DC editors and artists were MUCH more worried about getting reaction on twitter than making magazine sales. As you noted, they're all out of work, now.
It's been very odd to watch valuable properties turned over to people who have no love for them and no understanding of them, and these people run them into the ground.
The NBA is a little different, as most of the players are probably on board with it. Course, most NBA players are bankrupt five years after they leave the league.
