Pedophillia is not a human frailty.
Enslaving children to make sneakers is not a better world.
Putting a nike swoosh on the uniforms of football players, building a multimillion dollar side show next to a university, and running a child rape cover up is a crime.

Pointing that out should be everyone's responsibility.

cryinoutloud: I think the dude was more in denial than actively trying to cover up anything. If he'd really thought about it, the damage done by ignoring it was a lot worse than what would have been done by just getting rid of that old pervert, even if everything had come out then.

This. It's easy to SAY you'd turn in someone you worked with for 40 years and has their career intertwined so closely with yours and whom you never knew to have done anything illegal on hearing someone else say that they "were doing sexual things" with a kid. It's a lot tougher to actually do it.

It's very easy to say what should have been done now that we know there were more victims and that there was, in fact, rape involved. It's harder to say that you should convict someone that you feel you know well after a secondhand, gross-parts-omitted story which is inexplicably told to you as a football coach rather than police.

I keep hearing things like "well Paterno was old and didn't understand child abuse".
The Penn State fans will say anything to reduce their cognitive dissonance. I'm surprised they're not still trying to lionize Sandusky with excuses about how he did so many good things with the Second Mile charity...


I would buy this--that he just didn't "get" child abuse like that. Also that since he didn't actually see anything, he was able to convince himself that the other guy was mistaken about what was actually going on, and that "maybe" it wasn't really like that.

But I can't excuse that he knew something was going on all those years, must have seen Sandusky with other boys, and never made a peep about it, and never made any effort to either get to the bottom of it, or at least have Sandusky removed from the campus. How could you look kids in the eye when you saw them coming around with Sandusky, knowing that there was something unsavory going on, and that you were allowing it to happen on your turf?

I think the dude was more in denial than actively trying to cover up anything. If he'd really thought about it, the damage done by ignoring it was a lot worse than what would have been done by just getting rid of that old pervert, even if everything had come out then.

Well, the guilt probably killed him, so I guess he paid for his mistakes.

/Puns unintentional. This are serious post.

Children should not be subjected to homosexual rape. They should be confined to inadequately ventilated and cramped workshops so they can make shiatty shoes for 18 hours a day without food while they aren't allowed to even get up to take a crap or piss, all for about enough to by a slice of bread each day.

AeAe: I am comforted that Paterno is dead and is probably in hell getting raped by Satan.

I am not. I wish he were alive to squirm and have to answer the question, When children cried and you lied, where was your lion's pride?
Farking coward not man enough to stand up for what was right.

I really gave Joe the benefit of the doubt with all this but after seeing the report it looks like he was a main character in the cover up. I have been very surprised by all the comments online on new stories of people still defending him like oh its not that bad his good stuff cancels it out. This attitude is what is responsible for the cover up in the first place.
