The executives at AA blamed the girl for not knowing there was a camera.


That was their lawyers’ defense of the lawsuit. AA executives never said that. Semantics, perhaps. Once the news of that defense tactic made the news, they released a statement to correct it. No idea why their brass didn’t see that shite show coming and get in front of it. To your point, poor leadership is all around, and you’re right - the closing of colleges is a small symptom of something much larger.

My apologies. The article I read referenced it as AA's defense.

I thought it was awful.

With apologies for sounding pseudo-intellectual, everything is trending down.

Many churches have become entertainment centers, the songs they sing are "Jesus is my boyfriend" type and it has pushed away a lot of men.

Men turn to sports and if it's not outright woke, it's being corrupted (Ive opined that NIL has changed college sports so much that many fans will eventually turn away). The Harrison Butker issue tells me that there is a divide that will not be solved easily.

Youth sports are corrupted - there are 10-year old teams that act like major league teams. We aren't developing leaders. It's all about winning.

So men are turning to alcohol and drugs more - and that's not their vice they are going with something even worse - porn. No leadership skills being formed in any of that.
