I still follow the Knicks, especially now that I have DirecTv and MSG. But talking about them makes the Raiders problems seem small.

I think the NBA if focusing on their overseas fans (who make up 25% of merchandise sales) and growing that market. How do you market a league that has players pulling guns outside of strip clubs. To a degree I think they gave up a little on the US market, they will never compete with football and know it.
