With the NBA at a standstill because of the increasingly rancorous dispute between owners and players, a poll released on Monday found that 76 percent of Americans are getting along fine without the league.
Polling company Poll Position released the results of its telephone survey seven days after the scheduled start of the season on November 1.
The respondents, a random sample of 1,179 registered voters nationwide, were asked: “With one week of no NBA basketball, do you find yourself missing the games?”
Overall, 76 percent said they weren’t missing NBA games, 12 percent were and 12 percent did not have an opinion.
