MLB All-Star game ratings down from 2019

I boycotted Tuesday's Major League Baseball All-Star Game because the sport's commissioner, Rob Manfred, kowtowed to the woke mob over Georgia's recently enacted voter integrity bill.

It appears I was not alone in finding something else to do.

From TV Line:

In the latest TV ratings, Fox’s coverage of the MLB All-Star Game averaged 6.76 million total viewers (per fast affiliates), down just a tick from the prelim numbers for the 2019 contest (7.1 mil), which went on to report an all-time low audience of 8.1 million in Nielsen finals.
NBC’s America’s Got Talent (6.77 mil/0.9 demo rating) was steady week-to-week, as was College Bowl (2.4 mil/0.4).
Over on The CW, The Flash (750K/0.2) dropped a handful of eyeballs, while Superman & Lois (850K/0.2) returned rock steady after a three-week break.
CBS’ Love Island (1.7 mil/0.3) equaled its second-best audience of the season while steady in the demo.
Becauses of the pandemic and the shortened 2020 MLB season there was no All-Star Game last season.
