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.

Because their core audience is out rioting every night
Maybe one of these days we wont even have to read about sports at all.
Can you say “BLM. Inc.”?????

Inexplicable? You mean, I’m supposed to watch a bunch of overgrown prima donnas who openly hate America while kissing ChiCom ass? Is that so hard to explain?
More precisely, 14 percent below pre_BLM averages.
Maybe it would help if they made their precious BLM sign a little larger.
All of us racists are no longer viewing.
Unexpected. The word is ‘unexpected’.
Inexplicably?
Inexplicably?
Hell, I'm just a dumb, neanderthal, knuckle-dragging Trump supporter, but even I can give you an explanation!!!
Is it really that inexplicable?
I was a longtime Celtics fan. Haven’t watched a moment of their shenanigans in the bubble and hope to never really go back to it.
Define “Inexplicably”.
Everything in the known universe is “inexplicable”—to drooling idiots!
Because, well, who cares about pro basketball...
They should be happy us racists aren’t watching their boring games.
“...NBA ratings continue to be inexplicably low this month...”
“inexplicably”????
When the country is in the situation it is in at present and a bunch of “prima dona” rich guys who get millions for playing a game continue to treat the country like shit that gave them the opportunity for their riches, what would you expect their ratings to be???
Heh. I’ve not followed pro or college sports for decades. I like to DO sports, but I’m not much of a fan of watching it. I will watch while at a friend or relatives’ home, or while waiting for my pizza in a sports bar, but that is about it.
Why watch a game with black players running back and forth when you can watch the real thing on TV every night running back and forth looting and rioting?
