Dumb-Ass-Monkey: the prevailing theme has been about how this is so totally unfair to the school, Joe Paterno and his legacy, and the students currently there.

Or put another way, when they heard what was going on and that Paterno was being fired instead being angry at Paterno and what happened under his watch, they decided to riot.

Did anyone think this was isolated? Seriously?

The University Administration was involved in the cover-up. It's not at all surprising to learn that boosters are also involved in the crimes. I'd be very unsurprised current employees of Penn State, past employees, coaches and any number of other folks associated with Penn State had to do with this.

Just like the Catholics - it's not only the rape, it's the aiding and abetting. It's the culture that accepts this and covers for the perpetrators.

Farking disgusting. And unfortunately, there are many, many entities that operate the same way. Churches, Universities, Foundations... any group that has opportunity and a financial reason to want to keep crimes hidden.

The football program needed the death penalty for a reason. The culture of "football first" needed to go away, badly. Now we have players and students acting like THEY are the victims in all of this.

Oh, but I guess it's ok, because the players are going to wear armbands, which totally makes everything better and in no way reinforces the idea that football is the lens through which to view all life.

The school's administration covered up the rape of children. Not the students, not the Organic Chemistry TA, but the school. As in, the administration, higher-ups, powers-that-be. I don't believe I've seen anyone accuse the students of being in on anything, or contributing to anything, or helping cover anything up. That said, when an institution farks up, the institution takes the hit. If some of these whiny assfarks had a modicum of self-awareness, they'd realize they personally aren't being victimized by any of this. Suzie Q who is getting a degree in Political Science isn't affected by this one iota. Her degree, her scholarship if she has one, her collegiate life....none of it is being ruined by the NCAA telling her school YOU CAN'T COVER UP THE RAPE OF CHILDREN AND THINK YOU'LL GET AWAY WITH IT.

You and I have a vastly different definition of "few".

Since I do not hold all Muslims responsible for the actions of the 9/11 criminals, it is only fair that I do not hold all Catholics responsible for the child molesting priests. However many priests were involved, they compose a microscopic proportion of Catholics, and it is simply inappropriate and illogical to hold all Catholics responsible for their actions.

The public might be singing a different tune had the PSU "community", if you will, reacted with a little more vigor in regards to demanding the full story and with perhaps less vigor in trying to protect the sanctity of the football program.

It might not be fair to lump in every State College resident with the 19 year olds flipping over news trucks when Paterno got fired, but all in all, they created the perception that they care most about football on their own.

Sandusky committed the rapes.

The administration committed the cover up.

Some of the students and alumni created the climate of cult-like following of the football team that inspired the administrators to engage in the cover up. If the administration had been less worried about tarnishing the team's reputation, they would have busted Sandusky much earlier and not tried to sweep it under the rug.

Nobody is blaming you, personally, but you have to admit that a lot of farked up things went on. When any institution is treated as though it cannot be questioned, abuses of authority are bound to happen.

It's not just about the ring of people doing it; it's also about the cover-up, led by Joe Paterno, in the interest of protecting business deals in addition to the football program.

What I have learned from this thread:

Penn State is an Ivy League school.

The Ivy League is controlled by Catholics.

Having sex solely with little boys is considered molestation but it isn't gay because the victims don't give consent so that makes it okay.

Ditto for 15 year olds.

All of these child molesters get high positions in government and therefore are just as immune from prosecution like that South African dickhead in Lethal Weapon 2.

Every college believes their football program is sacred and the NCAA is so weak willed it will never ask for a total rehaul because money and politics and corruption and shut up this is the way it has always been.

I think you downplay the scope of the problem and seem to be OK ignoring the fact that in addition to those "few" priests there was also a an institutional cover up and we will never know how high up it went.

No, I do not downplay the scope, nor am I ignoring (or OK with) the fact that the institution covered it up, and frankly I am quite insulted that you would say that. I wish you had not done so. There was no call for that type of personal insult.

I don't think John Q. Papist who didn't even know this was going on should be held in contempt. That's what I'm saying. The people involved in child abuse and the people involved in the cover up should, in my opinion, be imprisoned for life. But the people in the pews who had no idea that any of this was happening, they really cannot be held responsible. Blaming all Catholics for the actions of the criminal priests is not rational.

Meanwhile the Church, instead of looking for justice or making any attempt to get the men help, just rotated them to a new city with a new group of young boys to prey upon.

I agree it is not fair to hold every Catholic responsible, but I think it is perfectly valid to have contempt for the Catholic Church as an organization.

Quite so. There are numerous reasons to hold the Church (as an institution) in contempt. However, those reasons do not transfer to the individual members.

But my initial point was that my contempt for child-molesting priests does not constitute "bashing the Catholics," which was the accusation I was refuting.

Ankle bracelets won't do a thing. My point is in certain situations, athletics, social gatherings like Boy Scount jamborees, and yes, church, some people use these areas for victims, either consciously or subconsciously. That means these areas need to be better monitored.

A certain section of the male population like to prey on children. A grown man shouldn't be in an enclosed or hidden area with a young child that isn't his. The problem comes when due to preference, homo or hetero, the opportunities for predators are different and they use that to their advantage. Some may prey on young boys only for the simple reason if they tried to do the same in a girl's shower area, it would be much harder to conceal.
As for abuse within a family setting, that is even harder to detect and outside the scope of what I'm referring to now, though as Sandusky proved, once this behavior is found to have happened, check out the home as well.

Ok, I'll state what should be obvious:

"Heterosexual" pedophiles have little in common with adult heterosexuals. "Heterosexual" pedophiles have sexual desires for female children. That is a world of difference - a world of difference - from having sexual desires for female adults*. The only thing they have in common the gender towards which they are attracted; the desires are otherwise totally different. It's surprising any adult who has sexual desires towards other adults (and has no sexual feelings towards children) would find this concept in any way confusing.

*yes, a 15-year-old is, sexually, an adult - it is despicable for an adult to have sex with a woman that young, but it is not pedophilia

Kurmudgeon: jst3p: I agree it is not fair to hold every Catholic responsible, but I think it is perfectly valid to have contempt for the Catholic Church as an organization.

And predators use that contempt to conceal themselves. You're going off on your favorite prejudice while the perp goes on unpunished, sometimes for years. You attack a church or any organization, and the predator immediately has support and backup as they unwittingly protect the perp while defending their group.
Focus on the perp, the "all these guys are jerks in this group" attack isn't working.

False dichotomy. I will stick with having contempt for the child molesters AND contempt for the individuals and organizations that, as a matter of policy, cover up for them.

I think you're confusing Pedo State for Penn, which is very much a member of the Ivy League.

To be mistaken for Ivy League you have to have some serious academic snobcred. Pedo State isn't bad, but it'd take quite a bit of stupid to mistake it for Ivy League.

When Richard Moll (not that one, the scholar) published The Public Ivys: A Guide to America's Best Undergraduate Colleges and Universities, Penn State was not on the original list; It was, however, among "a list of worthy runners-up".

The original list was William & Mary, Miami-Ohio, Berkeley, Michigan, Chapel Hill, UT-Austin, Vermont, and UVA. The runners-up were Colorado, Georgia Tech, Illinois, New College of Florida, Penn State, Pitt, Binghamton, Washington, and Wisconsin.

The Greene's guides have always put Penn State on their list of public ivies as well.

Benevolent Misanthrope: Did anyone think this was isolated? Seriously?

The University Administration was involved in the cover-up. It's not at all surprising to learn that boosters are also involved in the crimes. I'd be very unsurprised current employees of Penn State, past employees, coaches and any number of other folks associated with Penn State had to do with this.

The protection of Sandusky made no sense from a risk management perspective. Sure Paterno might have done it out of misguided loyalty and lack of morals, but protecting an above average D-Coord (who you are forcing into retirement anyway) isn't worth it. Someone would have leaked this over to the BoT or the like and had them fire the guy even if Paterno blocked it. The only real reason you cover this up so intensely is because you're afraid of what else the police find when they start digging around Sandusky's actions.

/can you imagine if Paterno is listed as someone who took part in the kiddie porn/rape ring?

Ow! That was my feelings!

Which I understand, but as I keep having to say, the university didn't rape anyone. One guy is known to have done it, and if this FBI thing goes anywhere, maybe a few more. And what's so hard about blaming the people who actually committed the crime?

The school's administration covered up the rape of children. Not the students, not the Organic Chemistry TA, but the school. As in, the administration, higher-ups, powers-that-be. I don't believe I've seen anyone accuse the students of being in on anything, or contributing to anything, or helping cover anything up. That said, when an institution farks up, the institution takes the hit. If some of these whiny assfarks had a modicum of self-awareness, they'd realize they personally aren't being victimized by any of this. Suzie Q who is getting a degree in Political Science isn't affected by this one iota. Her degree, her scholarship if she has one, her collegiate life....none of it is being ruined by the NCAA telling her school YOU CAN'T COVER UP THE RAPE OF CHILDREN AND THINK YOU'LL GET AWAY WITH IT.

That damn TA, personally covering up the crimes.

Well for one, I'm not screaming AT you, I'm emphasizing key points you pathologically keep overlooking, like the fact that you're responding to what I say with the exact opposite of what I said....and that tends to irritate me. Two, look....I love my alma mater too, but if it hit the news tomorrow that the administration was responsible for covering up child rape on its premises, by people who worked for it.....I sure as fark wouldn't defend it. I'd be the first in line castigating it. Even the little old lady on my block who had a Penn State sticker on her mailbox took it off (her grandson goes there), so if the 88-year-old woman gets it, I think you're capable too.

To me, this isn't about Penn State the school. So many times I have this conversation with people and they accuse me of being jealous of the success of Penn State football. Thing is, I don't watch college sports. I don't even know 10% of the college kids that get drafted into the NFL, much less 10% of any one college team.

Stuff like this just hits home for me. I was slightly molested as a very young child and I believe it changed my life forever. I'm not horribly ruined or anything, but my sex life is very frustrating even when I have several willing partners.

This isn't unfair to Penn State, however it is unfair for people to lay the entire weight of these crimes on PSU. Like has been said before, the Second Mile Charity was the source of the majority of these crimes. The reason this story started with the college and not the charity is because the charity's board members are very powerful GOP donors, and starting in 2009 the state GOP had plan to takeover the state house. The then AG, now PA Governor, refused to investigate these crimes with vigor. Instead he focused the entire DoJ on the Democratic State Caucus.

However, if you should tell someone off, like telling off an Internet Tough Guy who said someone should shoot the fans that showed up to a practice to support the players, you will get deleted and banned.
