Can someone tell me what legit reason there is for teams not to televise preseason games in this day and age?

People have already paid to watch the game in the arena, fans are excited for the first game of the season.

Why fuck over the fans who haven't attended in person by not televising preseason games?

No way to make money on something that doesn't matter.

It's like paying for the rights to televise a G league game.

Also, it different for football, because they only get so many games a year.

Nah I still dont get it lol

this is on league pass, so surely its not like anybodys buying the rights to the game. Theres already highlights of the game so it obviously would have been filmed. So just put out a live feed or at least upload the raw footage with no announcers.

Not to mention Spurs preseason was televised last year (for the first time ever)

It seems to always just be the Spurs who dont televise preseason, literally every other team televised their games last night except San Antonio wtf lol

Money.

Because no one gives a shit about you.

Basically, it ties into the fact that preseason games don't get high enough ratings to justify fighting over airing rights, so it's easier to just kow-tow to the team/arena and let them milk more money out of hardcore fans because you have to be there to see the game. If there was enough demand for preseason games you'd start to see those games show up on the network schedules.
