I think that’s part of it, for sure, but are several layers that might be news or might be nothing. Too soon to say.

Not positive thoughts but maybe a little more professionalism on the part of the ajc would be in order. Everybody there was old enough to be there. Are we shocked college students drink and that college guys like looking at naked women? Nope. So what’s left? That university employees were out with football players. Could be they were giving them a ride home because they were drunk. Would we rather they drive drunk? Nope. If they weren’t giving them a ride home and they were on a “date” why does an article need to be written about it? At worst some sort of school policy about fraternization was violated. Who cares? People in business and the military have such policies to deal with and violate them everyday.
In the end two people are dead but the ajc wants to do a TMZ style story about sex and drugs and alcohol. Maybe all that was going on. Are they all adults? Yes. And two of them are now dead. So why is there an article about it other than the ajc just enjoys thinking and talking about stuff like that?
It sells papers that brings in advertising that makes money.

More like nobody reads the ajc or subscribes and in their desperation they resort to smut and click bait.
I have disliked the Atlanta Jurinal and Constipation for atleast as long as the average member here has been out of diapers. LOL

For those outside of the Dawg nation it could be of more interest than the glazed over explanation. Like I said, could be something, could be nothing. If the university had formal or informal expectations of the girls involved, it could be a bigger story quickly. If toxicology comes back anything other than clean it gets to be even bigger yet. I’m not saying I want or would prefer any of that, just explaining it from a non-Georgia fan’s perspective. Also, I didn’t read the story, but I thought the video was fairly neutral. Did you feel it was inflammatory?

The AJC is reporting. It’s their job.

Is this a serious question? No, not "positive thoughts". But time for people to grieve without posting slanderous stories to lead people to false conclusions before all the facts are out would be nice.
This wasn't recruiting. From what I hear, these two girls were called by the players to pick them up so that they wouldn't get in DUI trouble. The girls are caught exiting, but had only entered a few minutes before to find the players that wanted a ride. If you watch, they aren't acting like boyfriend girlfriend. They were in a hurry because Carter and his mother had called and were waiting at the waffle house for them.

The ajc is going to look awful when this is all said and done.

I mostly agree with your thoughts and with the changes suggested below would totally agree.

What did the AJC print that was inflammatory or off base?
A video without context, which indicates that they didn't do much investigation, but instead splashed this for ratings.
Sadly, this is the sort of thing that the masses seem to want. Reminiscent of all the Reality TV stuff of late.

If she sticks around after you get there she's a keeper. But I digress.
