Local blackouts are bad for local teams.
I have been trying to watch grizz games since the 23rd. We purchased Hulu live again like we have done in the past. Just to find out they no longer cover fox sports. So there goes 60 dollars. Next I download league pass. I splurged a little bit so I can watch all games. So I go to watch the grizz game today just to find out they have local blackout for the game. Despite doing the local broadcast on league pass.
So I can watch any nba game. Except my local teams. My local team gets one maybe two National TV games a year. So I can watch the lakers all I want. But I could do that anyways since they have a ton of National games already. Why the NBA makes it so hard for me to watch my own team, makes no sense to me.
I hear if you don’t want you team to leave your town then support them. Well I’m trying. The nba rating are going down. I have supported them. But this makes me want to stop watching.
I spent a lot of money just to watch one team who probably won’t make the playoffs. The nba needs to fix this.
