God has had enough of Idol worship in America. The obsession with sports in America will be dealt with.

When they decided to take a knee during the national anthem, a lot of fans decided to take a pass on watching. Now those people’s kids aren’t growing up watching. In general, they lost a lot of fans and are not making new ones.

Guess he’s tired of ghetto ball, like the rest of us.

3-pt shooting, no defense, 1 player just driving and a move or kick-out for a 3 is boring; players travel, carry the ball, and just stand around. The game is horribly lame and boring. I like basketball. I have tried to watch NBA. I just can’t do it. College is mostly fun to watch yet.

The sheer number of basic offenses that are completely ignored in the NBA is ridiculous, and is likely a part of the loss of viewership.

Travelling, double-dribble, not giving way, are ALL out of control.

I see things that when I was in high school would have gotten me pulled for the game BY MY OWN COACH ignored by the NBA referees.

Finals rigged and predetermined from the start of the season.

Might as well start the semi-commercial-finals now.

There are more important things to Joe Mazzulla than the NBA.

Watching a bunch of Millionaires play a child’s game is kind of idiotic..

I’d much rather watch EuroLeague basketball than the NBA.

I propose an alternate league without the 3-point line, get back to fundamentals.

At least soon the WNBA will reach parity with the NBA ratings-wise.

I worked photographing sports at the lower college divisions, some D1 and occasionally the pro level. For 14 years. I would attend several hundred games in a calendar year.

If you asked me to watch sports on TV during that time, I would ask you if you wanted to go hang out in your office/factory for fun?

The NBA is this guy’s life. Perhaps he has other things to do on his time off?

Declining ratings won't stop the humongous salaries received by NBA players. Money flowing from China will keep the NBA afloat.

The NBA could improve its image by replacing their commissioner, Adam Silver. The guy is super creepy looking.
