I'm not.......Paterno fulfilled his legal obligation as mentioned by the Grand Jury. Forget the facts that are exonerating Paterno, why are you so hell bent in condemning this guy?
I suspect you fall in with the category of the rest of the liberal elitists who love nothing better than taking down a highly respected icon in whatever genre they are engaged in.......be it John Wayne in Hollywood or Joe Paterno in college football.
LOL! You just did it again!
Why did Sandusky resign in '99, less than a year after the incident in '98 was brought to the attention of the police? Did Paterno know of this incident? Did he or someone else pressure Sandusky to resign from PSU at that time?
The "unconfirmed allegation" came from a former PSU quarterback and current (at the time) graduate assistant. This wasn't some guy off the street, but someone that Paterno relied upon to QB his team and thought well enough of him to bring in as a GA and later hired as a full-time coach. Didn't Paterno think this was a credible source? And even if the young man may have been vague in his description of the more graphic details, isn't it enough to know that someone who has access to literally hundreds of kids was seen alone with a little boy in the locker room, both of them totally naked?
If instead of Sandusky, McQueary had reported seeing a janitor showering and doing something of a sexual nature with a little boy, would Paterno have responded the same way? Or would he have called 911 and done everything in his power to make sure the guy never ever went anywhere near the football facilities again?
As time went by and nothing seemed to happen, did it occur to Paterno that perhaps the higher ups were trying to sweep this ugly incident under the rug in order to preserve the reputation of the University? Were his hands completely tied in terms of taking the matter to more neutral authorities instead of it being dealt entirely in-house? And was he aware that Sandusky kept showing up at the football facilities with kids in tow long after this incident?
You should watch who you call liberal - but on second thought, you’re clearly too blind to watch anything. Keep up with your slander; at your level of brown nosing it’s amusing, you David Cash fan you.
