Sanduskys access to the facility was part of his exit contract. Absent actual proof of wrongdoing PSU could not suspend his privileges without legal jeopardy. Your next quotation, taken from the fact free report is more nonsense. There was no evidence of these crimes until the grand jury investigation of Sandusky. PSU had no more evidence of those crimes than did Louis Freeh, or for that matter, you. Does that make YOU guilty of a cover up? By your “logic” it does.
He was not a so called man in charge of the police. He WAS the man in charge of the police. Nice attempt at deflection, but again, its contrary to the actual facts.
Joe Paterno = Disgraced pedophile protector
Welcome to what used to be Free Republic.
This is where they all just slink into the shadows - knowing they don’t have the facts to back up their disgusting slanderous accusations. This thread is as good as dead at this point. They don’t want debate. They want THEIR narrative. A lot like Dems actually.
I never did buy into the crap line that Paterno was so wrapped up in his insular life in Happy Valley that he didn’t know what Sandusky was up to. He knew what was occurring, and his loyalty to Sandusky came first.
Paterno may not be provably guilty of a cover-up, but he was plainly incredibly negligent - and he plainly didn't give a sh-t about Sandusky's victims.
I'm glad he lived long enough to get fired and die in shame.
“ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!”
My reaction, too.
Paterno’s level of personal power was only one or two rungs below that of the governor. He could’ve had Sandusky removed and permanently disbarred from that campus.
....”The author refers to Paterno as “JoePa” throughout. How cute. Yet we’re supposed to take the author seriously.”....
It also revealed right away what side he’d be writing from.
It’s so sickening that today the public will continue their “hero worship” regardless of the lives these people’s crimes affect.
I have zip zero interest in sports teams and even less college or university players or those who lead them...but in this case the fact children were being abused one could hardly turn their head away.
Kids were hurt yet the public STILL comes out and “honors” these guys for the cover-up....when they could have easily stopped it.
No...I give no pass on any who cover for what happened there...none..zip-zero..nada!
So if folks don't buy this attempt to rehabilitate Paterno, then FR is somehow ruined?
As someone watching from the side lines, I found it odd if I recall JoePa's son was denied "standing" for the Estate and or representative there of, but allowed standing as a individual if I recall.
Any chance to shine some light on that issue, Individual vs Representative of the Estate?
Classy
Don't forget to salt the earth. Universities are just incubators of marxist and communist thought.
Hero worship? More like 'idol worship'...I'll never understand the devotion so many have to their 'alma mater'. It's sickening.
Like most universities; they have an agenda.
Your beloved JoePa had a report of an actual buggering; he didn’t have to figure anything out - he only had to press the investigation when everyone else swept it under the rug.
Instead, he apparently said to himself “I reported it, now I can wash my hands of it and get back to important things like football.”.
Make sure you “Ping” us all when that happens.
Just an innocent, sincere question to myself regarding all the PSU/Paterno haters in their spotless white togas: Me, myself and I are of the opinion that what Sandusky did was heinous, and in our opinion deserves capital punishment.
But we ask, what is the position of each and every one of the people in their spotless white togas regarding the slaughter of innocent infants in the womb? Are they as outraged by THAT as they appear to be against the entire PSU Institution? When was the last time they spoke out or publicly demonstrated against it anywhere near as forcefully as they rail against Penn State? Or is it possible that the JS scandal merely provides a soapbox for them to vent their hatred toward Penn State?
We sincerely wish we could know the truth.
Parterno said he didn’t know about anal sex between men! WTF!
His exit contract was made based on his previous molestation.
