    Uh or people could not subject themselves to whatever shit commercials Sinclair will throw in their games;

    “A 2019 study in the American Political Science Review found that “stations bought by Sinclair reduce coverage of local politics, increase national coverage and move the ideological tone of coverage in a conservative direction relative to other stations operating in the same market”.[4][5] The company has been criticized by journalists and media analysts for requiring its stations to broadcast packaged video segments and its news anchors to read prepared scripts that contain pro-Trump editorial content, including warnings about purported “fake news” in mainstream media, while Trump has tweeted support for watching Sinclair over CNN and NBC.[6][7][8][9][10]”

    The blazers aren’t going to play memorable basketball for a long time and subjecting oneself to Sinclair’s toxic shit isn’t worth that.
