Disagree.

Joe Paterno deserves much better than that.

Especially since we don’t even know who the victims were. And we certainly haven’t had a criminal case brought to court yet, have we?

People are calling for what amounts to a later-day lynching.
The sanctimonious MSM just loves knocking down a successful Amrican based on accusations and inuendo.

Let’s have a TRIAL, for God’s sake!

Paterno has done wonders-—both academically and financially-—for Penn State. Making him leave in humilliation without adjudication would be nearly as disgraceful as anything Sandusky is being accused of.

Let’s see at least..”a leave of absence” until this alleged CRIME, is put on trial.

Given that Joe Paterno contributed money early on to Obama, does that alter your opinion of the coach?

Sixty years of service to the community and very few people are giving him the benefit of the doubt. There’s a three year grand jury investigation that finds no fault with Paterno, yet every asshole with a keyboard - here and everywhere else - apparently knows the exact truth of the story. Rather than believe that a man who has never once shown any indication of poor character in his entire life did what he thought was right - reporting it to his superior and de facto police commissioner along with bringing THE ACTUAL WITNESS to them - people are acting, with NO proof whatsoever, like Paterno knew and ignored it. These people calling for his head are absolutely despicable. It takes an incredibly small human being to accuse a great man of being complicit in something as horrible as child rape with no proof.

I am ashamed these people are on this site. Absolutely ashamed.
