Chuds are blaming the politics but I have noticed thread posts are way down and posts and ratings seem a bit correlated (some people have done work to track this in wrestle hut). Why are y’all not watching?

Because these finals have sucked and instead of being the only major sport on like it normally is it’s butting up against every sport at once

The finals started with half the heat getting hurt and they got put in a 0-2 hole so everything the heat does is now thru the lens of mercifully not being swept or whatever.

I'm not really a big playoffs guy either anyways, it's more fun to decide to tune into the bulls or whatever and obviously that doesn't happen when there's one game on tv.

The numbers are startling. An average NFL broadcast lasts well over three hours, yet it delivers a total of only 18 minutes of football action.

I like the NBA more too but not sure the level of referee involvement is the argument you want to make for it.

The ratings dip for everything happened in 2016 too; as long as Trump is a thing election stuff is going to suck up a ton of attention. Throw in general pandemic malaise, lack of crowds, and the fact that all the major sports are happening at once rather than the NBA playoffs being the biggest thing happening in US sports like it usually is, and it's not that surprising that they're way down this year. Guys like Ethan Strauss trying to make it all about backlash to politcal stances that they personally do not like is one of the more shameless columnist grifts in a long time. Hope he gets that regular Tucker Carlson guest slot he is clearly dying for.

Those finals were compelling even as the Warriors fell apart, plus they had actual atmosphere and the narrative of Toronto getting their first chip/The Warriors dynasty falling

I didn't even think to associate chuds with the NBA dip. It's obviously because footballs on and America loves football. This is with a side slice that the Heat fell 0-2 and lost two big names. It's such a non issue but I guess people need talking points.

If chuds being mad at social messages were responsible for the drop, I’d think NHL wouldn’t have a comparable drop. I think you’re right and some people just need talking points.

Strauss in particular has blamed like a half-dozen different things for dropping ratings over the years. People are just watching TV less in general
