Penn State is in some real deep shit

Louis Freeh report on PSU attacks Joe Paterno's judgment and integrity


As I read more into the Freeh Report, it appears that Joe Paterno did in fact play an integral part in concealing Sandusky's child sexual abuse, as well as lying to a grand jury about his knowledge of the case. As difficult as it is to see the legacy of a deceased man dragged through the mud.... and put his family through such pain and shame..... I suppose it is totally deserved. He didn't actually commit the crimes, but he covered them up and did nothing to stop Sandusky from continuing these hideous practices. This is such a horrible tragedy for everyone involved, starting with the victims and their families, and also for Paterno's family and everyone else involved. And of all people, it had to be Joe Paterno, who had coached Penn State's Nittany Lions it seems like forever. Thinking about it only makes me angrier at that scumbag Sandusky. I always thought, when they showed his pervert face on TV, that he looked like the twisted bastard he turned out to be.

Yup, the whole thing is a tragedy, who would have thought this shit would happen, wasn't Paterno the winningest College FB coach ever? To the PSU admins credit, they had asked Louis Freeh and the FBI to investigate, this wasn't something the FBI opted to do on their own. That was a good start by the PSU admin and the right thing to do, hopefully now PSU can start "healing", and get past all this bullshit.

Funny how this turns out...All the "life lessons" that Paterno ever taught were bullshit, just like the man himself. They all pertained to a game. The one real honest to God challenge he ever faced, that fucking coward put his head in the sand and hid. To save the "reputation" of a foot ball team. And this clown McCreary, that saw Sandusky fucking a young boy...explain to me how your reaction to that is to go and tell somebody? Why in the name of all that is holy don't you smash that pedophile and put a stop to what you are witnessing? If that piece of garbage had any sense of manhood, he'd kill himself.
Right now, the University of Montana and the city of Missoula are under federal investigation for, it seems, allowing football players to rape women. This was swept under the carpet by the football staff, the university, the city, and the police department. To the the point that an officer that complained, via e-mail, to the university was suspended. Now, why the coward would send an e-mail instead of DOING something...I guess that is how civilized people do things?
Almost everybody that I called a friend growing up, all the people that mattered to me, if they are not dead, they are in prison. They are considered unfit to be among the rest of us. But, and this is a certainty, if one among them was revealed to be a child molester or a rapist, he'd get his ass stabbed and if he survived, he'd have to be segragated. Yet our supposed "best and brightest", at every level, all day and every day, see fit to protect and cover up for baby rapers.
If you are a man, if you have any male hormones at all in your body, it is your duty to protect children, and women, too. You take the bullet, throw yourself in front of the car, bash the fucking football coach in the head with a brick and hide his body out in the yard, whatever it takes. That is why nature made you bigger and stronger.

You kind of wonder if Paterno didn't take the coward's way out, and off himself rather than face the consequences, his death seemed awfully convenient.
I thought from the get go, Paterno would have had to have known that this pedophile shit was going on, it was too fucking open, and widespread. There's no way that what Sandusky was doing never got reported to Paterno, he just chose to look the other way. (that says a lot about JoePa, doesn't it)

I don't think JoePa killed himself, but he may have known what was coming down the road and after already having been fired he may not have been able to handle the stress and strain and emotional toll and just gave up on living. Positive mentality is very helpful in recovering from/coping with illness and there wasn't much left for him to be happy about at the time he passed.

I'm sure Woody Hayes wishes he had lived to see this so he could be reconsidered as "The biggest asshole ever to coach a top college football team"....Bobby Bowden looks like a fucking prince right now (not that he ever did anything wrong)...he's college football royalty IMO.

joe did know what was coming... its all covered in this ny times article.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/14/sp...pagewanted=all

he not only knew there was an investigation that would lead to his fall, but he also arranged to make more money for himself and his family before the shit hit the fan. pretty sneaky on his part.

[beenKOed]

These people are screwed on so many levels!
NOW WE KNOW WHAT A CLUSTERFUCK MEANS!

[Andre]

Did you'se see that last joke in the joke section? Very topical.

[El Kabong]

They got hit pretty hard, but they are lucky to still have a team. They'll be screwed for a good 10-20 years IMO. Players have already decided to jump ship.

[TitoFan]

Paterno's statue was taken down. That was probably the right thing to do... as it would probably keep the wounds open on victims' families and friends. Some Paterno supporters wanted the statue to stay, but it would've been a bad scene. A small plane flew overhead with a sign: "Take down the statue... or we will." I still think this whole situation seems cut out of a Hollywood drama. Wouldn't be surprised to find a movie already in the making.

[Mars_ax]

I believe if I were a FB player at PSU, i'd transfer to another College.

They got off real easy, which, of course was to expected, given the hypocrisy that surrounds the notion that sports are somehow connected to personal character or dignity. That myth has been disproved so many times...If Penn State was to retain any shred of moral integrity, they should, on their own, have discontinued all sports for at least a decade. It is an institute of higher learning and not a sports franchise, at least in theory.
What strikes me as fucking pathetic are the losers like Franco Harris and matt Millen that defended Paterno all along. Those ding bats need to understand a few things...First, Paterno never cared about them as human beings, though, as a manipulative sociopath, he probably made it seem that way. He only cared about them, or any other individual on his teams, to the degree that they were of benefit to the program. It has been made abundantly clear that the program was his only concern. Second, great football players or not, had Sandusky bent Harris or Millen over and got up inside them, Paterno would have covered it up just like he did with all those other kids. For the program.
Right after they tore down the Paterno statue, and melted it down, they should have torn down and burned to ashes, the Paterno family home on campus. If any body is searching for an answer to what is wrong in the US, it is revealed in the Penn St debacle. You don't go to an institution of higher learning to better yourself, to be a wiser, more tolerant or compassionate, more thoughtful person. You go there to learn that all that matters is the "message", the profit margin, and the bottom line. The ends justify the means.

Who would have guessed that Liberty ,Truth, Justice etc was actually a front to an unstable foundation, all claimed in order to justify material or positional gains at others expense? It sure isnt the rock the statue stands on.

[El Kabong]

Penn State football should have gotten a TV ban but you just know the networks are salivating over the ratings they will get when they do show Penn State and where the statue used to be and rehash all that shit. This is why I think ESPN is too big and another company needs to rival them, they could harp on a situation like this where the accused party is actually innocent and really fuck up some lives, although the 24/7 media never fully admits their own wrong doings like for example when they said Jared Lee Loutner was "Probably a Tea Party Member", same with the kid in Colorado as well "There's a James Holmes registered as a Tea Party member" yeah, turns out that dude was 55 and had 0 to do with any shooting ever....I'm so disheartened by these things. I am happy when the media gets it right, but they have fucked up a lot, remember when they thought Richard Jewell set the bomb in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympics....they went after him like a pack of rabid dogs and wanted to ruin him.

If there's one thing i've learned about life, very little of what goes on socially and politically is as it seems. Except of course down under..
