Just speculating here, but the fact that "ratings are up over last year" could possibly be because we haven't had any kind of live sports the past few months.

I used to be a big NASCAR fan, but over the last 10 or so years they have lost me as a fan.  It has nothing to do with this latest incident and everything to do with how they have changed the sport.  I think the turning point was not long after the loss of Dale Earnhardt.  I believe that I'm not alone when looking at the attendance at the races.  Heck, Daytona removed the stands along the backstretch and they were closed during the last race that I attended there (right around 10 years ago or so).

As far as this thread goes,  jj82284 pretty much nailed it.  It wasn't so much the "noose", it was more the fact of what "Bubba" Wallace said afterwards.
