Really? Are you kidding me? I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. Every time a “celebrity” dies, it always makes bigger news then anything that actually matters. That’s why everything sucks politically, economically and socially these days. People have been brainwashed and inundated with garbage and forgot what the definition of the word ‘priorities’ is. Wake up you dumbshits, everything is coming apart around you and all you can talk about is sports and celebrities?
This guy knew that child molestation was taking place at Penn State University, yet said nothing to anyone that could put a stop to it. He was more concerned about the reputation of his damned college then the welfare of the children. Give me a break.
Enough said.
No way am I minakg excuses for paterno; just trying to explore the “Why” of all this. Why did Paterno fail to do the right thing? Why did they all fail? Because their allegiance was to protecting the football program, which had grown bloated and out of control. But there has to be more. these are people who have lost sight of right and wrong and the question is why. All I am saying is that part of the answer is that the world had passed them by. these are people who do nothing but eat, sleep and drink football. They do nothing else. They are protected from real life completely. So a guy like paterno is completely unaware of the world that has changed around him since the 1950s. That’s not an excuse for his failure. But it does begin to explain a tiny bit of the the “why.” if you are a sports fan as I am, you know that there is a major difference between joe paterno and some of the more awful people in college sports. Bud Wilkinson, Darrel Royal, Bear Bryant…now those were bad guys. And some of these criminals coaching big fime basketball today. They are a whole different universe than paterno. Read “Meat on the Hoof” for a real view of what college football was like at Texas in the 50s and 60s. It will turn your stomach.
