You called Joe Paterno - a man who lived an exemplary life “scum”.
That gets you “asshat” in return. I guess I’ll apologize, as I am getting a little too wound up about this. But I wish people would just THINK.
Joe Paterno is “scum?” So he put on some act for 61 years of his life at Penn State? No one said he wasn’t without faults, but to think he would KNOWINGLY COVER UP FOR A PEDOPHILE - is patently absurd.
What effin’ sense does that make? Especially when he told everyone he could above him what he knew. He was praised by the otherwise over-aggressive PA AG for his testimony.
And yet people like you call him scum. He isn’t scum. In fact, he’s the furthest thing from it.
>> He isn’t scum. In fact, he’s the furthest thing from it.
You’re blind.
One of the reasons I am so disgusted with that son of a bitch is precisely because I used to look up to him.
What he did was utterly horrible, utterly reprehensible, and — perhaps, worse — utterly CYNICAL.
Multiple young men’s lives scarred permanently, perhaps beyond repair, with his full knowledge.
For WHAT PURPOSE?
A f_____g game. That’s what purpose.
He’s puke in a bucket. Never fully apologized, never came completely clean, never attempted in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER to make amends.
Yeah, he was all teary eyed and sorry for a minute. Sorry he got caught! Sorry his damned LEGACY was tarnished. Those kids Sandusky victimized? CHOPPED LIVER to Saint Joe.
God will judge him for all eternity but I’ll judge him here on earth and I don’t give a damn what you Penn State partisan suck-ups think. He’s crap.
Here’s another news flash, sport. Men of good character don’t slip up like that once. Wonder what else we DON’T know about your hero. Wonder what OTHER principles he sacrificed on the alter of Winning At Football.
