The NBA’s ratings have reportedly collapsed this season—months after several players and its commissioner apologized to the Chinese regime.

Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey tweeted in October, before the start of the season, a message to support pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong amid a Chinese Communist Party crackdown. As a result, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver quickly apologized for his comment in what was seen as overly capitulating to the regime.
