The league is obviously not catering (selling) to my demographic, ie middle-aged men that recall the 80's and 90's teams/games of their youth. They want the young fans and customers, just as almost every major business does anymore.
I hate the player-driven superteazm league. I hate that some teams seem to exist only as cannon fodder and farm teams for the super teams. Why would anyone invest time in that? I also strongly dislike the advertising swell.
Doesn't matter what I think, though. It will not change. There are enough people out there who watch to see the players. Has anyone checked out the prices on basketball collector cards lately? Holy shit. It's damn near impossible to buy the ones that have any demand in retail stores, and the secondary market gouging is insane. Somebody clearly loves this stuff.
