NBA ratings are falling because they made the same mistake as the Democrats, Colin Cowherd claims

Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd claims that NBA and on a democrat the party shares a problem when it comes to losing supporters.

Although signing an 11-year, $76 billion TV deal with Disney, NBC and Amazon this summerNBA ratings have taken a major hit over the past decade, with numbers plummeting even more this season.

The league’s ratings are down 48 percent over the past 12 years, and this year alone they’re down 28 percent on ESPN, according to Front Office Sports.

Many fans and analysts pointed to workload management as the source of blame, but while Cowherd agreed in part, he suggested there was an additional factor behind the motivations — and it had to do with the American people.

“NBA ratings are down 48 percent in the last 12 years and this year they fell off a cliff and Adam Silver’s decision is let’s make the courts brighter,” he began on his FS1 show “The Herd.”

“Me like the nba but i think the all star game is embarrassing now. The workload management is an embarrassment to the league. It really looks bad for a family of four to go to a game and (the stars) not play.

“Go ask the Democrats. Be warned, once you separate yourself from the common people of America, you will pay a price.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, of course, suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Donald Trump when the American people went to the polls on November 5th.

Harris had established herself as visionary leadership who could work across the aisle to address the concerns of the American people, such as the cost of living.

However, she underperformed in key demographics such as the black and Hispanic vote.

Meanwhile, in the NBA, “load management,” a trend popularized by Spurs coach Gregg Popovich in 2010, sees teams rest their stars during the regular season to keep them fresh for the playoffs.

Before the season started, Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid said he planned to never play back-to-back games. Meanwhile, other NBA stars like Kawhi Leonard routinely missed games despite being healthy.

While the league tried to combat the trend by adding game-play incentives to contracts and barring players who didn’t play enough games from being eligible for big awards, it sent a message to fans that the NBA and its players are not regular season care.

This comes as a blow to fans, especially to those who split up whole $140 just to see their favorite players ride the bench.

Cowherd went on to liken the NBA to the NFL, highlighting the elements that commissioner Roger Goodell has successfully navigated in recent years to prosper compared to the failing basketball league.

“(The NFL) has a connection to the American Midwest and the grassroots. If you look at the winning markets in his league, little Baltimore, Buffalo, Green Bay, Kansas City … connectivity,” he added.
