And if you believe that Paterno did not know what sodomy meant, I have a bridge I would like to sell you.
WHO MADE YOU THE EXPERT ON PATERNO ?
You sound like a lib with that comment.
The guy was 86 and from a completely different era.
Paternos Big Obama supporters, shock.
Ihave some used toll booths you can put at the bridge.
the term might have escaped him...but I am sure he heard of ‘buggery’, ‘bone smuggling’, or butt f******.
just because he never new the exact meaning of a word (biblically, sodomy means a plethora of perversions)did not mean that Joe Pa was some sort of blank slate with no knowledge of worldly things.
Read Rick Reilly’s article on this subject at ESPN. I never heard of Reilly before this, but he sums up his and the other media’s idol-worship of “Papa Joe”. Real journalism can be awesome
So much for that Ivy League education (at Brown). JoePa apparently never went to Mass either.
My sister had to explain to my, at the time 88 y/o mother, what sodomy was and how men had sex with one another. So yes it it possible.
Different era.
