First off I have never watched Hard Knocks until now. I can now say that I understand why it's getting historically low ratings.
1. Regarding content, it's okay but after a while becomes BORING!! I mean like two episodes is all it really needs. It's all about the personalities not about the team. Why do I care that Goff golfs in his back yard? Looking at his girlfriend was the best part of that segment. The same can be said of Sean's home life.
2. This year with two teams I can see why they decided to include the Rams. Hard Knock's super-low ratings simply prove how small the of a following the Chargers have in LA. I'm convinced they added the Rams trying to boost the ratings above rock bottom. The super-low ratings should be convincing proof that the Chargers have no chance to succeed in LA. The NFL should put the Chargers out of their misery by forcing the sale of the franchise. They can simply demand that Spanos pay what they owe to the NFL, Kronke, and other creditors (like me), which they won't be able to do. Watching the Chargers at SoFi Stadium only amplifies how embarrassing it's going to be for them to play in that stadium. The team has had zero home field advantage playing before a crowd where no more than 10% were Charger fans in a tiny 27K seat stadium. That is not likely to change other than the percentage of Charger fans is likely to shrink. The Chargers must have a winning season with playoff appearances to have any chance of increasing fan interest in 2021.
3. It was even less attractive since the majority of the focus was on the Chargers with the Rams coverage not even close to parity. I for one won't be watching any more as I found it not particularly interesting. I know it may sound funny coming from a former San Diego Charger fan, but I've seen their circus up close and personally for years and it was nothing new to me. As a former vendor of the franchise in San Diego I had access to their facility and met several of their players personally. I'm one of several San Diego vendors who joined in a common lawsuit to get money owed us when Spanos fled San Diego. I'm just a minor plaintiff being owed $25K. It's why I know the franchise is already technically bankrupt only being propped up by the NFL. Think of the NFL as a sports cartel who have done everything they can to suppress our law-suit.
4. I have no interest in the private lives of NFL players who by enlarge I've found no different than any other group of wealthy people living in a dream world. Hard Knocks is missed named. It should be the Rich and Famous of the NFL because that's all it's about.
