If PSU was a "great community", they wouldn't all be focused on a football game today. They'd say "college football is just a game that is supposed to be an adjunct to a higher education, and not an end in and of itself.
If PSU was a "great community", they would recognize that it was the very power of that college, "amateur" football program that played a critical role in how pedophilia (an individual problem) was allowed to grow into serial, wholesale violation of dozens of little boys. The only reason that "amateur" program has any power is because the PSU COMMUNITY granted it that power!
If PSU was a "great community", they would recognize that they - now that they are aware of SOME of the facts of the situation - are putting the sin of pride over the pursuit of justice. Just look at your beloved stadium today - full of fans! Full of fans of a program that - unbeknownst to them last week, but now fully aware this week - was committing atrocities to children in trouble!
If PSU was a "great community", they would be willing to walk away from a game, and find an alternative way to honor the senior players who (most probably) had nothing to do with these atrocities.
The fact they can't walk away shows a deep disorder in the Penn State University community. I won't argue that the same disorder exists elsewhere , but a disorder it definitely is.
That last sentence should read: “I won’t argue that the same disorder doesn’t exists elsewhere , but a disorder it definitely is.”
Thank you!
Excellent response. Your entire post is well thought out and well said.
Pedophile State put Homosexuality on a pedestal, with things like the Tent-Of-Consent for gay sex during the University-sponsored “Queerfest”.
Or ‘Become a Lesbian for a day’ during “C##tFEst”.
And you are surprised this could happen, then be covered up by the University? REALLY???
Even better yet, Spanier hasn’t been “Fired!” fired, at all. Both he, and his wife, are still employed as tenured profs at the University.
There is a whole lot wrong here, and it isn’t just the pedophelia.
