Is it possible that a person could be so wrapped up in a sport like football while leading a conservative family-oriented life, that he wouldn’t comprehend what was going on with Sandusky and little boys?

Not if you read Free Republic.

I'm torn by this, though.

On the one hand, to keep such crimes out of your head, to not imagine that anyone could do such things, to avoid thinking of buggering a 9-year-old, seems honorable.

On the other hand, it's naive. But it's only naive, if you read the papers and understand that people actually do these things.

What about that assistant coach who says he told Paterno about the shower incident? Paterno did nothing about it. That's not naive, that's willful ignorance in order to protect a friend at the expense of young boys.

Paterno's lucky he died. He had a LOT coming down on him due to his inaction and protection of Sandusky.
