Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 3742963, member: 9260"] i agree that having no tourney had an effect, albeit minor. the real culprit tho, is the brand along with changed youth lifestyle. it ain't reversing anytime soon. at some point, nba leadership will ask why, in a lockdown pandemic climate, are way less folks tuning in. the answer? 'you blew it (see speechifying, eg), and we're just not that into you anymore.' here's to hoping that college hoops and football can firm up the footing for our national inclination to be fans of [I]relatively [/I]pure sport, tho i have some concern that when college roundball begins again, some in that world may think that it's time to re-speechify. if so, our obvious and wholly predictable response will be [I]click. [/I]garuntee. ( i wrote my original thread comment[I] before [/I]the ratings came out.) [/QUOTE]
