Sex Abuse Scandal Rocks Penn State

[Monkeydad]

Just listened to the entire thing on the radio, live.


I knew Paterno was involved since the first time I heard about it but wow...

Paterno actually said to Sandusky:
"You did what you needed to do, now I need to figure out how to hide it."



Also, he wrote something before his death asking people not to make this an issue witht he football program. I was angry when I heard that but it confirms what I knew all along, Paterno was concerned with his football legacy above all else.

When you have nutjobs with shrines in their homes and offices (I work with several ladies who have literal shrines covering full walls in their offices and cubicles with Paterno worship), I guess it can turn even the best people into egomaniacs. He is God to many people in this Commonwealth and it's always been sickening to me...but even worse, they STILL support him and haven't taken a thing down. I hope PSU's football program gets the death penalty. Not a temporary one like SMU...forever.

This will make the University concentrate on academics, which needs attention since it's one of the top "party schools" in the nation with plenty of crime on the campus. It would make these lemmings' heads spin. I'd love to see it. Everyone who treated Paterno and the football program like they were gods helped build up this mentality and ego by every one of those who covered up Sandusky's sick acts. They were more concerned about their image and football resumes than the kids, the law and just doing what's right.
