and or respect the flag. they forget that demand and consumers get to decide, and the #s look real bad per those viewership stats. they might even try to keep pushing it lol and people fear they wont understand why they cant make millions playing a sport anymore because of it soon. its wild dynamics. the free market is a wonderful thing and rare in this world, but you have to be careful with it, no matter how much they try to subsidize it. just ask Kodak back in the late 80s or 90s
you may see some headlines about how they got viewers back, or 13% up from 2020 playoffs, but they fail to mention that 2020s #s were scary for them, so a bump up from there is still not good, and that doesnt factor in the entire season #s, just playoffs... worst numbers in like 20 years. 35%+ like i mentioned, almost one in two former viewers worldwide just shut if off, like me.
Compared to the 2019 Finals between the Raptors and Warriors, the numbers are suffering.
