    The NBA has idea how bad woke culture will fuk the league

    And that's ok. We all live and learn. This fantasy that chit happened even 50 years ago equals ppl should pay for those crimes today is insane. Common sense will win out. I have no doubt. This is all a learning experience and it has to happen. Don't fault anyone. We're all ignorant in different ways.

    72 billion dollar broadcast deal coming at the expiration of the current deal. They don’t care about your opinion

    Most white people don't care about basketball. We watch hockey or football.

    they should care...72 could have been 82, or maybe 92 or maybe 62...not saying these numbers are accurate but just making a point that money left on the table is money lost...also I have no idea if they left money on the table...maybe losing a marginal amount of a certain demographic is profitable if you can capture enough of another demographic...im sure the NBA has run the numbers...CEO type stuff

    They haven't inked that deal yet and remember, that money is ratings based. If the networks can't sell ad time, the league gets a pay cut

    Amen to that

    I used to follow this league religiously

    Total trash now. The game and several players alike.

    NBA shot itself in the foot with all this BLM propaganda shiit over the past year. America and fans don't want to see that garbage, they want to watch hard played basketball.

    Sports and woke political movements don't mix.

    Well the threads on this should wait till then because if they ink 72 billion every thread here trying to say that the nba is going down because of social justice messages wouldn’t matter.
    Outside of that the play itself is mostly horrible during the season and I would believe that more for the ratings issue then anything else

    It's going in that direction. March madness was fun this year. Maybe because I cleaned up betting on it. Can't tell and be fully objective for sure though??

    Well I would say 50 billion increase would mean they are not on the cusp of falling apart as this thread seems to make it sound like. That’s really the only point I was getting at

    I was agreeing with u, business deals and player salaries keep going ridiculously up so ratings cant be the end all be all

    I don't believe the nba will go away or fold, I think these guys will find that their ideology won't sell or be effective. I watch lots of NBA and I don't want it to go away. I make a living via sports so I'm rooting for success, but this insane and illogical movement isn't helping At All.

    On a side note, the on court play is turrible. The whining is just icing on the cake.

    The style of play in the NBA today is the equivalent of an NFL team dropping back & throwing a Hail Mary every single down.

    Ridiculous & boring

    LOL they're not getting $75b over 9 or 10 years

    They'll get $4.5b -$5.5b and that including giving up all streaming rights and the TV players are allowed to air 100% premo nationally games.

    The reason the NBA gets these big national TV deals despite ratings sucking is because the league has super teams w national appeal, and there is very little interest in regional teams (or $$ in regional rights, unlike MLB which makes a ton of dough team by team regionally).

    In addition, NBA sponsorships are coordinated w national broadcasting so it aligns w marketing (much like NFL) whereas both NHL and MLB have many individual sponsorships, almost half being competitor's of the leagues national sponsorship.

    But that $75b figure is truly optimistic and unfounded.

    NBA players today think they hold all the power now in the NBA executive decisions and maybe they do. Clearly hurting the product.

    I don't watch golf and I wager on it

    I don't watch baseball and I wager on it

    I don't watch soccer and I wager on it

    Watching & supporting it are irrelevant

    Or you can just look online and see multiple sources projecting that as the amount the nba will be putting out as the asking price. I’m not just picking from the sky

    African american ppl are upset because their ancestors were to puzzy to stand up for themselves and die while refuting being beaten and chained and whipped. I don't know a white man who wouldn't have chosen death over slavery.
