The game drew 8.2 million viewers making it the second worst of all time.

Based on the poor ratings even with a strong showing of young talent on the field, it would appear that getting involved in politics was a bad decision for the sport.
Yet, the main stream media tried to frame it as a victory or ratings boost.

We'll see how viable all the 'woke" major sports are after a while. I suspect that athlete salaries, at least for doing the sport, have maxed out and will drop after revenue streams start to decline. I wonder how long before the NBA has to get bailed out by the Chinese to keep them afloat...?

Does the old way of ratings matter today like before? Now there are 100s of channels to watch yet they all have advertisements on them. As a kid a commercial pee break took timing to no miss parts of the show now you could make a pizza with time to spare during commercials.

I stopped watching most sports this year including the Olympics.

Not sure how it worked before but today advertisers pay x amount to be exposed to an audience between x & xx. When that exposure falls short then a portion will be refunded.

They do lose money, the question is will it be enough?

I could be wrong.
