Who do you think pays the salary of these BSA “Directors”? It’s not much different than politics. These guys/gals working for BSA have mortgages to pay and do what the those with the money want them to do.

BSA Director is a $130,000 job according to the glassdoor salary website. If AT&T pulls their money there will be a lot less “directors” guaranteed.

AT&T will not be able to make up for the loss that the scouts will incur from private donations. They also will not want to. They simply could have absorbed the loss of much of the corporate funds by a strong pro-traditional values add campaign that OUTED those corporations that threatened them monetarily. A positive campaign with threats of boycotts would have done the trick. Hell, just the threat would have had AT&T as well as other large organizations telling the fudge packers to STFU.

They should have drug their names through the dirt. Prior to yesterday the BSA was a pro family Asexual organization. They weren't smart enough or moral enough to fight corporate America where it hurt, their pocket book.
