Seriously, many people will be affected by NBC's move... contestants, organizers, sponsors, hotels, Baton Rouge... Without the TV revenue the pageant can't pay it's bills. Hosts and countries are also boycotting.
The only ways to rescue this are:
- keep Trump and move to another TV network
- Trump steps down from or sells the pageant - NBC and others will then return
- the other option of suing won't rescue the pageant or force NBC to show it

and while WE don't care about it who knows what the ratings are in Latin America. They love pageants.

its a great way to tap into a foreign market on the cheap.
