[Kind of reminds me when people get upset at those holding up pictures of aborted babies, as if that was more problematic than the very acts and the very industry that led to the aborted pre-borns to begin with!]
I really do not care where you are from. Moral concern is ok, and trust me, everyone in PA is glad Sandusky is in prison.
As for the horrific things that happened and ignored in PA, you forget or really do not care about the fact that all students at PSU, all PSU alumni, and all but a couple of administrators at PSU had an idea of what was happening with Sandusky. The administrators that knew are still to stand trial.
Since FR is a political forum, it is very interesting if you look at the political leanings of the administrators that were involved in the cover-up.
At least you didn't bring Joe Paterno into this. He was a hard-core conservative. He is also dead and unable to defend himself. (BTW, he also fired Sandusky, long, long ago, when there was no arrest, no trial, and no conviction of Sandusky.) Paterno became the scape goat for the liberals that ran PSU, ESPN, the MSN and Louis Freeh.
I think all conservatives can easily admit that all but a few colleges and universities in the US are run by liberals, and that as liberals they lack a moral compass. It is also easy to admit that the MSM and ESPN are extremely liberal, and for that matter so is Louis Freeh.
To damn residents of PA and alumni of PSU by comparing them to people who have a problem with people showing abortion pictures is either hyperbolic or ill-placed in a thread about wrestling.
Anybody wishing to see how I respond to this kind of comment -- which you may or may not want to address on yet another thread...please see:

Well, if you visit that other linked thread above, you'll see plenty of posts re: how Penn State alumni have reacted in extremely negative ways.
IoW, it wasn't simply a lone individual on the loose; plenty of people HAD to look the other way with what they saw that allowed Sandusky to continue to do what he did. IoW, there's a "cultural" issue afoot there. And it's the people who don't want to address it as anything beyond the actions of a single individual who have become part of the problem that led to the cover-up to begin with.
Hence, there's been this pride-filled spirit of defiance loose in State College.
First, it was the Penn States students that one night when they began rioting in the streets. (And yet you whitewash ALL the actions of ALL the students)
And then it moved on to the CentreDaily Times writing in May 2012 that they were "sad" to see Sandusky's The Second Mile Foundation go...when the reaction of the ENTIRE community should have been, "Good riddance!"
Then, there's been ZERO grassroots uprising to the reality that Penn State continues to pay the salary of one of the cover-uppers -- the athletic director, Tim Curley. (For those who claim they are waiting for the trial to end...no they aren't...Curley's contract will end likely before the trial...and guess what? They won't renew it...furthermore, the Board of Trustees didn't wait for Paterno's contract to be up...he was fired minus any criminal charges)
And then that spirit of defiance by Penn State Alumni has been to turn on the NCAA; to turn on the Board of Trustees; there's absolutely LITTLE sensitivity to the cultural seriousness of what has occurred in State College!
Well, at least the CentreDaily Times recognizes to SOME degree how serious it is... http://www.centredaily.com/
Most newspapers have simple Home page banner navigational topical interests like:
The CentreDaily Times? How does it compare to other papers?
