I’m not saying the statue should remain but the blanket over the head is one of those faux-dramatic touches that ESPN will love. If the statue is to be removed never to return then why attempt to protect it from damage - eh, PSU?

Beyond the obvious warnings about sexual predators and their witting and unwitting accomplices, it should also be a deterrent to the recent mania of statues popping up outside sporting venues everywhere. A statue is a permanent thing so be prepared to take the rough with the smooth. Should we tear down the Colosseum because Christians were killed there?
