When summer finally arrives in Dakota in June, I'm outside doing stuff, not sitting inside glued to the flat screen.

The NBA has never understood that, that is why it hasn't been as popular as the NFL or MLB. To be successful you need to understand that it is all about the fans and without them you are nothing. The NBA just doesn't get that.

I don't have anything to back this up, but I would bet there is more "rules and regulations" in the NFL.

Honestly, what are you doing outside every night in the summer? I don't think its that big of deal to be inside watching a basketball game.
