Viewership and attendance is up, actually, while it's down in the MLB, NFL, and NHL. That's impressive given the competition is now more than 3 major networks, not to mention expansion of sports (xgames, mls, nwsl, mma, etc, etc).
I admit my view on Silver might be the minority.
I disagree on his handling of BLM but its hard to argue the other points.
Still, I don't think we've seen just how much damage sports betting is going to have on this league and Silver's hands are all over that one. Time will tell.
Also F him still for putting ads on jersey's.
