The Pennsylvania State University’s football program won’t be shut down. The football program didn’t molest the children, the former coach did. Jerry Sandusky met the children through a charity.
Jerry Sandusky was correctly found guilty and will go to prison.
Yet many in the Penn St. administration knew what was going on, and chose to remain silent. People very high up in the food chain in Happy Valley. That includes Joe Pa. This is his legacy. He condoned a serial child molester’s behavior, on and off campus.
Jerry Sandusky was correctly found guilty and will go to prison.
The very important point you and some other Jo Pa and Penn State defenders are missing is that Sandusky’s predilections for sexually molesting young boys under his care and charge was not exactly an unknown to some Penn State officials, including Paterno going back to at least 1998. While Sandusky may have met his victims through Second Mile, he abused many of them while on the Penn State campus and during Penn State football games as acting as a Penn State employee in various parts of the country.
Paterno totally ruled Penn State and what he said went; whether that was covering up for football players engaged in on or off campus criminal offences; riding rough shod over university rules and other officials to keep those matters quiet and insisting on disciplining players himself by things such as merely making them clean up the stadium after a game when they should have been booted out of the university or even to have faced criminal charges, to, after testifying to the grand jury that after he (Paterno) reported Mclearys’ accusations to his superiors, had no further involvement what so ever when the emails in the Freech investigation indicates that Paterno did intervene after his initial report to his superiors, Curley and Schultz and ultimately Spanier, and contrary to his grand jury testimony he convinced them to go easy on Sandusky and not report his crimes to the authorities.
“The Pennsylvania State University’s football program won’t be shut down. The football program didn’t molest the children, the former coach did. Jerry Sandusky met the children through a charity.’
Mom, thou doest protest too much. The report correctly identifies the leaders of your revered university as enablers. They included Spanier and Paterno in that. Get over it...Penn State, the University, was responsible in many ways for the evil atrocity brought on innocent young boys by an evil pedophile, Jerry Sandusky. Spanier and Paterno were responsible. Spanier needs to be charged along with those already charged. It is time for you and others in Pennsylvania to come to grips with the stench that has been pouring out of (Un) Happy Valley.
