Major league sports and their athletes, thru ignorance and arrogance, mistakenly believe they possess the power, when in reality, it is we the consumer who possess the power.
When one fails to understand and meet the needs of their customers, there is only one logical outcome, and that is the loss of revenue needed to sustain and even grow the business. Losses may be light and even unrecognizable at first, but eventually actions have consequences.
IMO the initial drops in viewership and popularity, if acknowledged at all, will be conveniently blamed on the pandemic, rather than folks who are fed up with all the in-your-face social justice causes which call you racist or label you a bad person if you don't support it.
Given that things are not likely to change anytime soon, it will be interesting to look back at all the major league sports leagues in 3-5 years to see how much if any that viewership has been impacted by then.
