STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — An artist has removed a halo from a mural of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno amid the school's child sex-abuse scandal.
Michael Pilato had put a halo over Paterno's image after the beloved coach's death in January, but said he felt he had to remove it Saturday after a report that Paterno, former university president Graham Spanier and others buried allegations of child sex-abuse against ex-assistant Jerry Sandusky. Paterno's family denies the claim.

The artist should have painted in a laptop to show Paterno frantically e-mailing Schultz and Curley...

This is what happens when people worship men instead of God.

They should whitewash the whole image and replace it with one singular word written in PSU blue and white:
“SHAME”

I guess I don't find plastic statues of the Kind of Kings and Lord of Lords handing off footballs humorous.
But maybe that's just me.

I don't follow Penn State football very closely, since my SEC teams can beat them like a rented mule every day of the week
I never knew Joe P had a cult of personality thing going on...
Pretty weird if you ask me...

Its not really to my taste, but I don’t see anything wrong with it. Jesus loved to be around children. I can certainly see Jesus playing football with them (had football been around).

The hero worship these people had for Paterno is sick and demented. Other programs have the same garbage.
One of those times I think we should demolish every major stadium in the nation.
Grow up people; a university is (should be) about educating kids. Sports should be a sideline activity played by STUDENT athletes.
Ok; my rant is over....

If they really wanted to show the truth the reflection in Paterno’s glasses should show Sandusky leading a little boy into the shower.
