I have seen many posts that a whole lot of people did things very wrong and every one of them deserve to be punished so that something as bad as over a decade of child rape doesn't get covered up again.
Paterno wasn't singled out.
He just hasn't been given a pass, no matter how bad those who worshiped him want him to be given a pass. They insisted that as bad as incriminating as the evidence that came out in Sandusky’s trial was, somehow later information would exonerate him. Well, its later, and every piece of new information makes him look worse and worse.
Make no mistake. I want Spanier, Shultz, and Curley to face trial. Possibly the counsel at the time, and certainly the current president who gave Sandusky emeritus status outside what the universities bylaws called for when Sandusky was shit-canned.
And whoever else is uncovered as the cases go to court with the victims that are coming foreword now.
I also want the students who demolished the news van at the Paterno riots to face charges for that.
One more thing.
Football is just a game.
You mean "implied". It's been more than implied. Who are you kidding??? He's been vilified but ask anyone about Spanier and they say "Who???"
Paterno wasn't singled out.
Then why was the football program sanctioned by the NCAA and 10 years of his wins removed when Sandusky hadn't worked for Paterno since 1999. He was only on campus after that because of the sweetheart deal that Spanier gave him and The Second Mile.
Rather than gutting the football program, they should be gutting all the new age human sexuality programs that Spanier brought to PSU and cut those professors loose.
Yes, what the Paterno apologists want to do is go from ‘all’ of Paterno’s fault to NONE of Paterno’s fault.
