The games were never important.

They have become irrelevant, and the more they shout “I should be relevant because I am important” the more irrelevant they become.

Angels can fly because they don’t take themselves seriously (Chesterton quote).

Entertainers who think that the entertainment is more important than reality need to get chained up in Plato’s cave.

Those virtual fans are definitely getting creepier (ok I glance at the games in bars and restaurants, definitely not tuning in)

Bring in Putin as a coach/owner, play the Russian Anthem and your anti-American BS will be complete.

People who used to tune into sports don't care to tune into lectures on how racist they are by multimillionaire spoiled athletes.

President Trump is likely right about politics playing some role in people tuning out (which polls have confirmed), but still overstating it to some degree. …
Probably not overstating it, Mr. Kruger. And not just some role, judging by your sweating further down in the article.
The problem for the NBA is that it doesn’t matter.

Not really.

What matters is that in the midst of the league’s most important games of the year, it still cannot garner the audience it used to pull regularly. …
So what did the President overstate?

The games used to be unimportant but fun.

Now they are unimportant and not fun.

I don’t understand this statement:

“NBA ratings are continuing to decline despite games becoming increasingly more important.”

What causes NBA games to become “more important?”
