All the way up your the PSU president!
Paterno was my hero in the 70’s. He got what he deserved. Same for Pete Rose, a bigger hero.
HE principals knew of kids molested by Sandusky.
I have no idea why Penn State is still allowed to have a football program - if ever a program deserved a death penalty, Penn State’s is it. Disgraceful.
And yet you will still find tens of thousands of “sports fans” who will willingly give Paterno a “pass” despite his disgusting behavior. At the end of the day “Joe Pa” was a piece of $hit!
According to John Ziegler, Paterno knew nothign about it and Sandusky is not guilty.
And he doesn’t like Jerry Sandusky.
This is such a horrific tale of abuse :-/
It makes my stomach queasy.
Better to never have been born than to turn into such a thing.

He could have stopped it the first time it was made known to him.
its hearsay....McCleary has no character...why should we believe him....wasn’t McCleary the one who saw Dusky basically molesting a young boy and turned and walked away?
I was actually willing to give the benefit of the doubt, because I knew some older people (mostly women) who lived fairly sheltered lives who simply could not begin to comprehend this type of behavior - it was so far out of their experience that it simply didn’t compute as even being possible. Obviously, this was not the case here.
I don’t want more details. Anyone involved, anyone that knew and covered it up, should, if still alive, be taken out and shot. The school should be shut down in disgrace. Sick. All of it sick.
If this situation occurred today, the initial person making the complaint or reporting the molestations to the police would be immediately accused of being “homophobic”. He or she, regardless of the facts, would never get another job at a college or university again. Suspect horrors like this are still occurring and people are afraid to intervene.
I just wish that lowlife scumbag would have lived long enough to see his statue removed. And maybe done some jail time.
Bkmrk.
My father was born 3 years before Joe Paterno. When I was 13 years old, my Dad and other men of his generation were assembled to investigate (true) charges that our Scoutmaster was molesting boys.
When I think about Joe P., born in 1926, I remember how literally unbelievable these men found the concept of a grown man wanting to have, and having, sexual relations with young boys. These are men who were successful in business and trades, men who had fought in the Pacific and Northern France - by no means babes in the woods.
And yet, the hardest thing for them in getting at the truth was imagining it in the first place.
Men of Joe P.’s generation were not raised drowning in filth, the way most boys and girls are today. Whatever he may have been told about Sandusky, the important thing in terms of his culpability was what he believed, and I’m not one to judge him too harshly in this regard.
1976!?!
HOW and WHY did Paterno allow such evil to exist under his nose for literally decades? Is winning football so important that you stand by and allow innocent boys to be horribly violated for thirty years? Soul crushing, spirit breaking life ruining sexual abuse.
What is it Jesus said about harming a child and a mill stone around the neck?
Yep. He knew, but we had our own disgusting child rape enablers here at FR, mainly fljoepa.
When sports rises above care, you know you are one sick individual. When you defend pedophiles, you are just as damnable.
To hell with JoePa, PSU, and pedophile enablers like fljoepa.
Meanwhile, just checked, Ray Gricar is still missing...
