Penn state to honor Joe Paterno
- Thread starter Rutgersnj201
- Start date
As bad and Hillary and Trump are, I don't think you can make any comparison. I would bet that either one would report child rape if they knew about it and I don't think either one would allow it to go on if they had the power to stop it.
Paterno exemplifies why CFB is the most corrupt entity in America. He ruled the state of PA.
If Capone were alive today, he would be in CFB. You can get away with anything.
Paterno enabled abuse of innocent boys so that he could win few football games.
It is not Paterno that is guilty; it is the football culture in America that is guilty.

Are you sure? The SI article didn't mention the school's involvement, but given that this story is going national I do wonder if they did will they back track...they do seem concerned about NAMBLA or others making hay, of course the victims are totally irrelevant.
Certainly will look atrocious to the judges handling all the ongoing litigation.
Don't know anyway else to take an article like this :

>Penn State plans to honor longtime head coach Joe Paterno before the team's game against Temple on Sept. 17, according to the athletic department's promotional schedule.<

Actually, stupid gravitates to stupid.

Saw JP as an assistant coach years before, so that doesn't count. Just wondering about it. Ah, forget about it.
Ya thinking the same, let's not associate either candidate, with a child rape scandal.
Joe Knew. And you know he did. I also believe the rumors that Joe was also abusing the young boys. Why else would he cover it up?
Just in case Paternoknowers come in.
Almost as difficult for Paterno to answer is the question of why, after receiving a report in 2002 that Sandusky had abused a boy in the shower of Penn State’s Lasch Football Building, and forwarding it to his superiors, he didn’t follow up more aggressively.
“I didn’t know exactly how to handle it and I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the university procedure was,” he said. “So I backed away and turned it over to some other people, people I thought would have a little more expertise than I did. It didn’t work out that way.”

Fixed that for all of us. I've never seen this quote before. Joe said that?! If so, its absolutely perfect, because its so obvious what he meant.
Joe knew. I know that he knew. And you know that I know that he knew. And they know that you know that I know that he knew.
It's not like the guy was some flawed sort of hero.
He was a jerk from day 1. He was a win at all costs, screw everyone else prick. He hid behind his folksy exterior.
Joe Paterno was a macchiavellian scumbag his whole life with an aw shucks facade.
He knew about the child rape. Didn't care and decided he could cover it up because he was Joe Paterno.
Banished Sandusky and allowed him to continue his actions as long as Joe dodn't have to deal with it.
Never was anything more than the tin pot dictator of Happy Valley.

at. least. i. hope.not.
But, you can never tell with the cult.
Some Penn State fans that post here are fine by me, they do not seem to be too crazy but then you have that other board, with the "kids were asking for it" and "Sandusky was framed" posts. The FBI should monitor that board.
pretty much
You have to wonder what Joe told those VA coaches when they came to talk to Sandusky after the National Championship.
He knew about inappropriate behavior as far back as the 70s as the unsealed documents show. He allowed a grown man to sleep with an underage, unaffiliated boy, during the bowl game, he was told on numerous occasions and once by his assistant coach of things that would raise alarm by anyone.
Just because he gave money back to the university and left a buffet for not charging him correctly, does not make him infallible. He should have been hung for allowing this. Every victims group in the country should be up in arms over this
"It noted that 91 percent of respondents to an alumni survey felt the university should publicly honor Paterno for his contributions to Penn State."

And people say I am out of line when I view every person who wears a PSU hat or t-shirt with disdain. I can't believe parents allow their kids to attend that institution today.

They are sick. Do they go to an Academic Institution that plays football or do they go to a Football factory that has some academics? There are alot of good PSU students/alums. They must be sick to their stomachs. Doesn't the alumni association and administration understand the quote that "Nobody is bigger than the program?"
Who said this?
"I ordinarily would have called people right away, but it was a Saturday morning and I didn't want to interfere with their weekends."
"I ordinarily would have called people right away, but it was a Saturday morning and I didn't want to interfere with their weekends."
how about this one, 'Consequently, out of the 10 young boys that Sandusky would be convicted of sexually assaulting, most of them were abused after he was investigated in 1998[110] — at least five of them were assaulted "at Penn State’s football facilities and other places on campus after May 1998".
Paterno was a scumbag
Says Schiano knew in this article per McQueary.....also highlights the inconsistencies in Joes' testimony

Penn State's disdain for the victims is disgusting. They have no shame whatsoever. The culture over there hasn't learn a damn thing.
It is good that Penn State is getting torn apart on twitter by people from all over the country in every fan base in every conference. NO ONE but Penn State fans think this is a good move. NO ONE.
NCAA really screwed up when they rolled back the sanctions, they should be ashamed of themselves!

"JoeDidn'tCare" would be a more appropriate username...
yeah.. PER McQueary.. double hearsay. McQueary is saying that Bradley told him Schiano saw something.. Bradley and Schiano both say NO. Why would anyone beleive McQueary who seems to want to spread the guilt around. McQueary has millions of dollars at stake in his lawsuit regarding lost earning potential as a whistleblower... so he has t make up a story where he actually blew the whistle.
Actually McQueary is the OPPOSITE of a whistleblower. His silence got him PAID in the form of a job and promotion.
Most people know my stance on this whole thing but I think you have to be careful throwing out the documents from the 70s as something to add to your opinion on how Paterno handled the McQueary incident. All of the stuff that has come out since 2011 has been hot garbage and refuted as such. Could it have merit? Sure. Does it have merit based on what we have learned once the documents were unsealed? No way.
Wow.. they chose the day to coincide with THON DAY.. you know, that charity "FOR THE KIDS".... you cannot make this stuff up...
