I think its very sad what has happened and what is going to probably happen to the mighty Penn state football tradition....

many great players and men from that program...all destroyed by the selfishness and arrongance of Sandusky and those who sought to give him a wink and a nod and to cover it up...and I'm not at all totally believing that Paterno had much of a role...

no one seriously believes that other universities aren't engaging in similar practices?....football is a god to so many out there ...

What? Repeatedly covering up ex-coaches raping boys in public places on campus?

You know, sometimes sins of omission can be worse than sins of commission.

You see, with sins of omission -- where you become an unwitting accomplice to year-in-year-out (possibly month-in-month-out or week-in-week-out) rapist -- those sins of silence keep ticking...

...Every second you don't speak out leads to a minute...
...every minute you don't speak out leads to an hour...
...every hour you don't speak out leads to a day...
...every day you don't speak out leads to a week...
...every week you don't speak out leads to a month...
...every month you don't speak out leads to a year...
...every year you don't speak out leads to a decade...

More than a decade of that clock ticking...tick-tock, tock-tick...Silence accumulated...And always fearful the whole false Penn State Lincoln log (or Jenga to use a more modern game) show carefully constructed log by log, block by block, won't come tumblin' down.

The whole bunch of Penn State people "in the know" are rapists by collusion...by a conspiracy of silence...lock 'em ALL up and let 'em out when it becomes too expensive for the state to continue to pay (i.e. frail health) for their lengthy "babysitting" arrangements.

And anybody linked with Penn State deserves to absorb the corporate reputations its leaders have constructed for it, block by block.
