NBA commissioner Adam Silver had an interesting answer that could have landed him in hot water regarding fans being priced out of watching games. With the new season set to start next month, some expressed concern about the cost of being a fan due to the number of subscriptions needed.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Silver was asked about the average fan being unable to buy all the premium subscriptions to watch games. The commissioner pointed to all the free alternatives, like watching highlights on social media platforms.
“There’s a huge amount of our content that people can essentially consume for free,” Silver said. “This is very much a highlights-based sport. So, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, you name it, any service. … There’s an enormous amount of content out there. YouTube is another example that is advertising-based that consumers can consume.”
