NFL Executive Says The NBA Has Taken All The Attention Away from Super Bowl Week

[10bandz]

The NBA and NFL operate in two totally different cultural spaces…the attention given to the NBA trade deadline has zero actual effects on the superbowl except from some superficial coverage in sports media that’d just be going towards segments on whether Kelce is gonna propose to Taylor Swift after the superbowl if the chiefs win or some silly shyt instead …the superbowl is a bigger event than most major holidays, this isn’t a real conversation..and I’m a person that likes the NBA waaaaay more than the NFL

I agree with this for the most part. NBA and NFL fans do overlap obviously but it's really just two different spaces.

NBA has had a great week for sure, and the hype for SB has been dampered too. But America is gonna tune in in huge numbers like always. The Super Bowl is really a holiday

I mean, when the Super Bowl ratings drop, all this talk with stop.

This.

People would rather talk about the NBA than watch. That's why the ratings are in the gutter yet everyone has an opinion about shyt they aren't watching or enjoying. I'm sure the first Luka/Lakers game against Boston will be heavily promoted and garner some ratings but besides that? Eh.

 

[wire28]

Tell me your team isn’t in the Super Bowl without telling me

 

[UpAndComing]

Yep.

It's soccer/futbol and basketball.

Them Europeans going to those NFL games played overseas is the equivalent to them going to the circus

Whenever I want to show NFL fans how unpopular the game is outside of America, I show them this video




Go to 6:25 time mark

Even without the NBA trade deadline, there’s no media angle for the chiefs having been there 3 years in a row and the 5th time in 6 years. What exactly are we supposed to be interested in?

And Philly being back so soon also leaves little to discover, only so much people care about the rematch as the rematch angle was played out last year.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Repeat SB from 2 years ago.
Taylor Swift and Kelce were last year's story
Both have respect for each other

All of those =
Boring Superbowl week.

If it were Lions vs Ravens we would have something to be hype for but we've seen this before. Let's hope the game is dope like the last time they faced each other in bowl but I'm more excited to see Kendrick perform.

To be fair, NBA news especially trade talk always creates a huge buzz more than any regular season NBA matchup. A lot of people are saying this Luka trade is the the biggest trade in NBA history so it makes sense. This trade talk will have more people enaged in social media than the NBA Finals

More folks watch the NBA than ever before, so I don't know where you're getting this from. I don't know how many times it needs to be reiterated that cable is dying and it has affected the TV ratings of almost every single medium of entertainment. Folks don't consume the NBA like they used to (never mind the fact that ratings have absolutely no bearing on how it's viewed outside of this country), whereas the NFL is still widely watched by traditional methods, largely because of the older demographic(s) and because folks are typically at home on Sundays and they can plan an event around it.

As if it needs to be continuously stated in here, the TV ratings for the Superbowl are gonna be sky high, probably set recent records, but it won't have anything to do with football.

Go figure.

You can't make jokes on here

NFL stans gonna crash out

 

[Conan]

I'm more interested in Kendrick Lamar halftime show than the actual game TBH





Its gonna be wild that a diss song is will be peformed at the SB

nikkas sounding like bytches now

"I'm only watching the Super Bowl for the half time performance" head asses

 

[Trojan 24]

If they can just translate all of this to people actually enjoying and watching games

I mean, when the Super Bowl ratings drop, all this talk with stop.

shyt is funny as hell. Like it literally took one of the biggest and possibly worst trades in nba history for them to say it's taking attention away.

 

[MushroomX]

@Roger Goodell going to kill off Jerry Jones neat year to ensure 0 coverage of the NBA is mention in media.

Silver should think about having two trade deadlines, one mid-season the other before the playoffs
