Some companies are largely driven by one person or a small number of people. What happens to a company when one of those people turns out to be a serial sexual harasser and possibly a rapist? Ben Fritz reports for the WSJ:
Weinstein Co. is exploring a sale or shutdown and is unlikely to continue as an independent entity, a person close to the company said.I hope they find a buyer. It would unfortunate if regular working folks found themselves unemployed due to a company collapse.
The film and television studio's board of directors has been talking to possible buyers as it mulls how to move forward after firing co-chairman Harvey Weinstein on Sunday amid dozens of accusations against him of sexual assault and harassment.
Here is what another major company is doing: Insane appeasment! ! !

NFL to formally endorse Criminal Justice Legislation,
finance Activism Boot Camp
The league will put its stamp on federal legislation in the wake of protests for equality

CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported two weeks ago that Roger Goodell has maintained a steady dialogue since this summer with many civic-
minded players, including Malcolm Jenkins of the Eagles, Michael Bennett
of the Seahawks and Anquan Boldin, [retired before the season].
ESPN's Jim Trotter reported via Twitter Monday that "the NFL is going to formally endorse criminal justice legislation" that surfaced early in October and has
garnered support from several players "lobbying for" reformed sentencing
guidelines. NFL Network's Judy Battista later confirmed via league
spokesman Joe Lockhart [Memogate 2004] that the NFL would
do so.
Trotter said in an appearence on "Outside The Lines" that the NFL is also discussing the creation of a PSA campaign regarding social issues ... The league has also "agreed to finance a social activism boot camp at Morehouse College in
February," Trotter reported.
The proposed legislation, per Politico, ... "will still face opposition from Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who helped sink the bill when he served in the Senate."
