What is the author’s opinion about the ratings?

“When Flamengo play, the stadium is full, and they also capture the attention of people outside the ground. So Bap was right to go to court pointing out that Rubro-Negro was losing money with Libra,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla, who added: “It’s no surprise that Mengão won the case. Apparently, Palmeiras did not accept losing and left Libra. In other words, Leila Pereira wanted to make money off Flamengo’s audience,” he opined.
