Other than football, sports is regional now because the national broadcast is pointless. We used to care that the Leafs and Habs played on a Saturday night, do we are now? Everyone follows their team and once their team is eliminated, they're done.
And the NBA has made its bed, it's not even a sport in the regular season. It's just an entertaining product where you can buy a ticket and see 250 points scored. But if the Lakers and Celtics meet in the finals, people actually care and the product actually becomes real basketball.
NHL games are still defensive struggles in the middle of January, who wants to see that? And then people tune into the first round when the intensity is crazy. And then it's May and people move on.
