Facts have a tendency to do that. None of the negative posters even read the book transcript. They responded to the title of the thread like Pavlov’s dog.

I read the excerpts. I appreciate the position that Jay Paterno is in. He was raised to worship his father to a degree that is probably unhealthy, so I know he can't really look at this objectively. But the saying child sexual abuse are witch hunts doesn't prove someone is innocent.

Paterno was protected and praised by the media by few people in history. But that isn't a defense of all behaviors. How can you argue Paterno is a genius and the most moral person in the country and then rely on an argument that he was obtuse and could only follow the very minimal standard of morality.

Paterno couldn't possible believe a coach who by all rights could have a job coaching in one of the top football programs in the country just retired in his prime. Besides, that was his program and Sandusky was part of his legacy, he wasn't so far removed or senile that he was out of the loop in 1998 and 1999.

Since you think all critics, “haven’t read the article,” can we ask if you read anything impartial and not part of the left wing/local Paterno worshipping crowd. Sorry, I thought good things about Paterno too, but eventually you have to acknowledge the facts.
