The players aren’t to blame for any of this. They’ve been in the program for their college years. Their season is going to suffer for this by no fault of their own. There are many victims in this.

“There are many victims in this.”

YES, THERE ARE...
This is bigger than just Paterno. He’s just one of the many enablers here.

This is a CULTURE that went in to CYA mode to cover-up homosexual child abuse, while at the same time celebrating the homosexual lifestyle, and firing anybody who spoke out against it.

People feared for their jobs and livelyhoods if they dared speak out for the children.

And you wonder WHY people are angry?

If Sandusky had been prosecuted for the first offense (today's players were in elementary school at the time) the issue would be long since over for the school.

Paterno, the President of the university - and probably a TON of others are going to be fired, have civil lawsuits by the bushel and possibly even criminal actions against them and certainly going to have all the headaches of being witnesses for years to come because they helped Sandusky avoid prosecution. It's the hiding that everyone else did that made it an enormous problem for the University. The prosecution of the first rape, in and of itself, would have been microscopic by comparison in it's effect on the school and everyone else involved, since the rapes at the school would have been limited to - ONE. The news story would have been about just one bad apple, Sandusky, and lasted a few weeks. The reputation of the whole athletic program and University would have been spared. Sandusky would have found new dance partners in government housing.

Now, thousands of Penn State students are rioting on a "school night" - demonstrating the big pile of crap that colleges in America have become. Far too many students are morally bankrupt boobs - who would a) riot to support their b) football program run by a man who c) is over 80 and refused to retire in 2004 when asked to because he is so insanely dedicated to "the school" and his "program" that is so important in teaching students "ethics, morals, etc." and now we find that he has transformed over the years into a man so blinded by his fixation on his "program" and "football" and "the kids" that he has for 12 years been helping many other people to protect his former coach, a child molester, from prosecution all the while the child molester continued to molest at times on the university premisis. Like a dying drunk begging for a last drink, the students, inebriated on the mystique of the Penn State football program, now d) chant they want 1 more game this Saturday for this fallen head coach. Mind you, they e) express almost no acknowledgement of the rape victims of the child molester as if seeing Paterno coach this Saturday's game for the last time renders the boys who were raped irrelevant. The rapes were truly a non-event to many of those students. This is utterly beyond the pale, as it is apparent that if Paterno was the perpetrator they would have had the EXACT same reaction as they did tonight. Zombies in a football-watching trance 24x7. And immersed in school spirit, cheerleading, parties, friends, pop music, demonstrations, rioting, ows, sex, drugs and whatever else the kids are into today. Immersed in everything but morals and a sound education. They are great at missing the point, immorality and hero-worship.

I think this provides an excellent window on the state of the brainwashing that their professors routinely achieve with them. In 2008 when one went to vote for Obama, the whole herd followed. They can graduate now, they're completely useless to themselves but useful idiots for the left wing.
