Each and every comment attacks Paterno, who was never a witness to anything, yet not one comment about the actual pedophile.
funny how that is.
It’s almost like a bunch of whiny football fans are attacking the coach that repeatedly stomped your miserable scrub team into paste.
Joe was in his 70s when events were brought to his attention. He didn’t run the school. He didn’t run the athletic dept. He didn’t even run the team. He was a coach and another coach brought to his attention something he saw the day before.
now, put yourself in his shoes. what do you do?
would you run over to the house of the accused and shoot him? hardly. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU WOULD DO THAT. then what would YOU actually do?
Almost all of you, assuming you’re rational adults with a working frontal lobe, would... notify your supervisor of the report. that’s about it. you MIGHT try calling the cops, but anyone that’s ever dealt with police in the middle of an investigation can tell you how far that goes.
THAT’S IT. That’s EVERYTHING each and every one of you would ever do. Oh sure, you keyboard cowards might claim to ‘burn down the pedophiles house’... but we all know you’re just full of sh*t. besides, you’d get arrested as arson is still illegal.
And do you know what Joe Paterno did?
He did EXACTLY that. he notified his supervisor, who then notified the police.
So all you keyboard tough guys can stop spewing bullsh*t unless you’ve actually done otherwise in the real world (provide news accounts of your actions or it didn’t happen)
Rumors exist that his fellow traveler shitbags exist in powerful circles - business and government, and have the power, ability and means to cover up their disgusting behavior.
Not to make excuses, but you wonder if Paterno knew this and steered clear. That doesn't excuse his inaction, but might explain it.
