Like the Republican side I will see all these posts and claims on Social Media like, "NBA ratings crash, blah blah blah"
And I'm always thinking to myself... then why are player salaries going up? And what about the foreign markets?

The Republican side loves to dump on the NBA and usually I lean right more than left but in this case they're not taking everything into account
and the ratings have picked up this year with the return to NBC
Sccit:
NBA is doing just fine
they're not NFL status, but they're comfortably second when we factor in global revenue
1.NFL
2.NBA
3.MLB
4.NHL
5.MLS
ratings are way up this year, and streaming + social media engagement is on a fast upward trajectory

I'm surprised NFL is number 1 globally -- because if you say the word "football" in the rest of the world--they actually think you are talking about "soccer". You would have better luck saying the word "rugby".
And as for MLB it is huge in Japan. And MLB salaries seem to be hire than NBA and NFL just off the top of my head.

I also lean more right than left, but the right does a lot of cheerleading on social media that projects what I think is a false image that their side is winning. Like how they come out with a new story every month about how the "Clintons are in hot water" and it will have a picture taken of them when they had a sad look on their face just because they were bored at an event or an award show or something, and they will be like, "Clinton's deeply concerned about release of Epstein files" and a picture of them with a concerned look on their face. But regular Republicans eat this stuff up like, "Oh man, the Clintons are going down." Then of course nothing happens.
I've never really been that type of guy. My older brother does the same thing when it comes to sports. He will come up with something like, "Ohh man, this player talked trash in the media on Chiefs/Mahomes, they better watch out, Mahomes is gonna be pissed. Mahomes always has his best games after somebody says something."
That's a totally arbitrary and unmeasurable assumption. For all we know, Mahomes has a lot better things to do then worry about what some guy said in an interview back in the offseason. He was out enjoying himself, while fans were sitting around waiting for news.
