Professional Tennis. I blame all downfall of society to a period in the 1970s when it became acceptable to wear gym clothes and tennis shoes and everyday wear. Professional Tennis had gained major steam and those branded tennis shoes replaced the leather lace ups. Exercise wear replaced slacks and shirts.
That is my story and I am sticking to it....it has all been down hill since then...
Stick to your nearest wall, that is about as serious as your story.

Not sure about the cause you put forward, but it was definitely sometime in the early 1970’s.
It’s been all downhill since 1970’s tennis. Ok I’ll buy that. /s lol
That, and hippie hair. Once dudes figured out they didn’t need to cut their shaggy manes for the ladies to date them, everything else went to pieces. Tennis clothes and hippie hair destroyed America because it was What The People Wanted.
There are probably better examples of America’s decline, but in my lifetime (age 69), the assassination of JFK and the Gulf of Tonkin as justification for increased involvement in VietNam top the list.
In both cases, IMHO, the government openly lied to the American public and no one was ever held accountable. The Deep state was somewhat exposed but continued to gain strength. Also, until recently, no reporting to counter the Big 3 media: A B C, N B C and C B S. The self annointed “elites” in government and the media are still not held accountable.
