The number of viewers who tuned in to the ABC’s screening of the beauty competition plummeted 36 percent in ratings compared to last year – which was already a record-low performance. Last year’s beauty contest also squared off against the first Sunday of the NFL regular season – but at least there were supple young ladies wearing bikinis back then.
In a bow to the #MeToo phenomenon, the Miss America Organization announced in June that it was eliminating the swimsuit portion of the event as well as tweaking the evening gown section – declaring that candidates “will no longer be judged on outward physical appearance.”
The swimsuit portion WAS the pageant and vice-versa. No swimsuits, no pageant, dumbasses.
I didn’t know Miss America was even going to be on, but then I don’t watch TV much so no surprise.

(Trophy does not actually exist. All awards are fictitious in nature and have no monetary value. – KYHH)

The league has changed I’m sure .. I watched a little of the first week years ago. I don’t pay it any mind these days (just like the NFL .. I don’t watch). I’m toooooooo busy to watch TV .. due to work and hobbies.
