Does anyone have an idea of how/when this thing ends with not being on Hulu/YoutubeTV/Dish/etc. Not only are they losing a ton of eyeballs right now, they are losing the future.
My sons are finally the age where they love basketball. All they want to do is watch Luka and the Mavs and they can’t unless they are on ESPN. I am not going to change provider for one Channel. I think it has been about 18 months and they have moved on. Now they follow the Wizards for Russell Westbrook and the Nets. Of course they pull for the Grizz for Bane.
The point is, without the games being on and watching them consistently, people in DFW have no ties to the Mavs. Without being too dramatic, this feud over TV money could cost them a sliver of fans for years to come as they won’t grow up watching the Mavs. I’m sure the folks at Bally are thinking about this, but there could be some real long term effects over this and Cuban must hate it too.
