Or maybe because there are few live sports or sports topics to report?
 
I grew up in Chicago during the dynasty and played basketball my whole life But I will not watch the NBA while they’re using the games to make political statements. Especially that particular group.
 
Baseball and post season basketball? Can't deny that it isn't having an impact. Their ratings should be popping right now.
Both are hard to watch without fans. People love political drama with their sports, it's how ESPN made it big. They aren't just reporting scores, there is ALWAYS some political drama behind the game. Fights, contract negotiations, walkouts, injuries, trades, threats of teams moving. Then there are spinoff morning shows where guys fight all day about these topics, First Take, Pardon The Interruption, Around the Horn, Outside the Lines, Cold Pizza, Mike and Mike, Jim Rome is burning etc. There just aren't any sports topics to argue about right now except maybe who is the best golfer?
