[newell138]

Looks like they beat us to it.

So will the Pitt AD have to apologize for that?

 

[RUSK97]

I don't understand the point to such a tshirt. It's like wearing a tshirt that says, "Water is wet," or, "The Sun is Bright". It's just so obvious.

Many Maryland fans are wearing those "Joe Knew" shirts up to PA. That should be interesting.

 

[NotInRHouse]

Too bad they cancelled it

Hey @TheB1GTerp, let us know if you need any of these flags to go along with those shirts?

 

[NotInRHouse]

LOL how did you manage to get one of them taking a pic? Was she one who whined to Barchi?

 

[RUSONIC]

That was out of line, In the scarlet lot to boot.

 

[CodyRU]

So the cultists harassed them enough until they cancelled the sale? Scumbags

It is obvious. But it annoys the State Penn fans which is the whole point. As much as I despise them, I personally wouldn't wear one.

Where can I get a flag like that. I don't care who I offend.

 

[Cheesesteak Vegas]

Fortunately, cooler heads seem to have prevailed here. Hopefully that's the case in 16 days as well - the noon kick will help - but I guess we'll see.

Very good Beancounter!

 

[DJ Spanky]

These t-shirts were much better, right guys?

I wouldn't seek to hurt the guy's personal or professional life over a T-shirt - as stupid as it is - when you play with fire in the internet age it's easy to get burned.

 

[DJ Spanky]

So here are some true believers going after the maker of the t-shirts:

Can someone lose their job for being hilariously creative?

It is just fans selling these not the school right or was it actually Pitt selling these?

Bama just released a T-Shirt about OJ to make fun of USC.

Yes, both of these are in bad taste, but I mean... it is true right?

Two wrongs ...

You have a thing for PSU--you only comment here when it is about them. I guess you can't help yourself. Carry on...

I guess if you don't have enough pride in your own school this is the type of thing you would wear. If they are dumb enough to wear one, I hope they bring something else to wear because they won't be allowed in the stadium with them on. I bet the type of people who would wear them will then be the morons who complain about having their first amendment rights violated. They would be to ignorant understand what the first amendment means.

I don't understand why anyone would wear shirts that (a) make light of child abuse in any way and (b) draw attention to yourself in a situation where you'll be outnumbered and people will be drinking heavily. Fights happen too often at sporting events as it is; I don't see the need to provoke one.

 

[RUich]

With the rise of violence in our society and too much alcohol to fuel it, wearing anything that can elicit an attack is just plain foolish.
Fans get physically attacked for simply wearing their teams colors, etc.

... and yet, I'm really OK with this one.

 

[lyndj]

Good try but no, I comment on the RU board with PSU threads, Terp comments on the RU board about PSU. Get the difference?

 

[17Q66]

Touché.

 

[Arizona Knight]

Joe Paterno was a complete scumbag, but I would not wear the shirt. You're not going to convince anyone in State College that he knew kids were being raped with his knowledge and no one outside of State College needs convincing. So what's the point?

Agree with this. This shirt would not change the cultists' minds, but instead feed into their sick persecution complex.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

I'd wear it and wear it proudly. The more people do, the more people throw it in their face, the more it becomes the reality that these 'head in the sand' imbeciles cannot fight

 

[ecojew]

So will the Pitt AD have to apologize for that?

No, Julie will have to apologize for that. At least, that's what the SL would think.

You would wear it proudly to their stadium, during one of their home games?
No chance!

Don't think (a) is making light of child abuse, only saying Joe knew about it happening and who was the pervert doing it.
(b ) I agree with and would be putting yourself in harms way wearing it at Beaver stadium. Also think whoever wears something like that in Happy Valley, won't leave that place happy that they wore it

c> even wearing that shirt or something like it in a stadium hosting the Nits would be subjecting yourself to possible attacks from Penn St fans, especially those who might be fueled by alcohol.

(d) No matter how I feel about the cult of Joe, wearing that shirt at any football game Penn St is playing isn't showing good sportsmanship and sportsmanship needs to be part of the enjoyment any game any of us plan to attend.

(e)Not all Nits are assHats and they don't deserve the disrespect wearing that shirt at one of the games they attend . Friendly smack-talk should should be the interaction and should be in good natured fun , not because someone feels the need to be petty when they talk to an opponent's fan. Even if that person is a fan of Penn St because most Penn St fans are pretty good people once you get away from the cult members

Oh yes I would
