Adam Silver did his best Marie Antoinette impersonation in a recent press conference when asked about streaming packages being increasingly expensive for fans, basically saying, “let them eat highlights.”
Silver is being criticized for telling fans who can’t afford streaming packages that they can watch highlights instread of full games and that the NBA is a “highlight-based sport” with a lot of free content on sites like Tik Tok.
This has been a contentious issue over recent seasons as NBA fans have found it increasingly more difficult and expensive to watch their home team, a problem the NBA continues to ignore, going after illegal streaming sites instead.
