So my buddy told me about a week ago that Netflix had recently added a Happy Valley documentary covering the Sandusky story and how it affected the community etc.
Not trying to rehash what we have already known for quite a while but I just finished the documentary and I must say it is truly scary how delusional some of these State College residents are. One of the students they kept interviewing in the documentary should be ashamed of himself as he underplayed the Sandusky victims in favor of his reverence for JoePa.
Based on that documentary, the majority of State College seems like a very backward place. Seems a lot like M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village" lol. I'll be visiting Happy Valley for the first time this Fall for the RU game and while I am excited, I am also preparing myself to see some weird a** sh*t. Thankfully I'm rolling 10+ deep lol.
I have no problem with State College trying to repair its image post-Sandusky/Paterno era, but it seems like the majority of the community just cannot get over the fact that JoePa did himself in by clearly choosing to brush the 1998 Sandusky incident and future Sandusky incidents under the rug in the name of the football program. Even JoePa's son, Jay, recognized towards the end of the documentary that he is in fact in denial about his father.
Worth a watch if you want to see how reverence for one man can blind an entire community...
