I am mighty sick of the mantra, as regards the Sandusky crimes on the PSU campus, accusing Penn State students and alumni of ‘supporting the football program over the victims’. At the time Paterno was fired, the full extent of the coverup by PSU officials in power was not known. The Freeh report had not been released. Everyone was shocked at what was slowly being revealed in media reports. The students and many alumni revered Paterno and thought the administration was making him the fall guy, so the students rioted. This does not mean they support rape or sexual abuse or have no sympathy for the victims. This is a complicated issue here. A year has gone by and PSU families and alumni are still waiting for the full story to come out. They want justice to be done. The officials in the PSU power structure failed in their oversight responsibilities and I hope their punishment is severe.
“This is a complicated issue here. A year has gone by and PSU families and alumni are still waiting for the full story to come out.”
Uh, no its not and the full story already has come out.

And yet the staff, students and alumni still carry on with the sicko hero worship their God-King Joe Pa.
