WHO MADE YOU THE EXPERT ON PATERNO ?
You sound like a lib with that comment.
The guy was 86 and from a completely different era.
Also, grown men showering with boys was frowned upon.
Since Curley and Schultz were going to report Sandusky back in ‘98, and then Curley changed his mind after talking to Paterno, I have a hard time believing Paterno was that naive.
Your contention would be correct if Paterno was born a senior citizen. But it stretches reality to think that for the entire time he was alive he was oblivious. Paterno was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, and spent time in the US army. He would have had to have been deaf and blind not to have heard of sodomy somewhere along the way. If true that he never heard of such things, Paterno would have been a pinball player not a football coach.
