Also, do you ever hear him mention the victims of Joe Paterno’s enabling of Sandusky’s pedophilia? Nope.

...this is a troubling point...and some of the most vociferous Paterno apologists are quite dismissive of the victims and their testimonies, even to the point where a handful question whether Sandusky committed any molestation at all, in order to justify the contention that Paterno did no wrong...

...I sympathize with the OP’s motives, as the preponderance of Paterno’s body of work mark him as a fine individual, with a great track record of positive personal inpacts...and for that matter, Cefalo himself was a pretty straight up guy known for speaking his mind, popular or not...

...but I do think the OP has shown himself to be incapable of distinguishing between reasoned scrutiny and slanderous bashing...explaining some of his more vehement posts...

...

I think that's what Paterno's supporters struggle with the most: that he flushed decades of good work and deeds down the toilet with one fateful decision (to look the other way). But hey, that's life. Life's not fair.
