The ratings for EVERYTHING went down some (the NFL less than many others) because they hadn't yet figured out how to measure people consuming the product in ways other than regular TV venues.

Now we've got Yahoo reporting their streaming service numbers, as is Hulu and Roku (and perhaps Sling) and we find out that just as many people are watching the popular things as they did before and it NEVER had anything to do with some silly boycott by "angry white people".
