Penn State scandal (merged)

[emzeeee]

Did the students even read about what happened? Or are they blindly following an icon? I can see why they would do that, but sit them down and make them read some of the court documents and accusations. Then see if it happens

Dear Penn State students,

Thank You!
I thought Tennessee would forever be stigmatized as back hills rednecks who burn mattresses. Your illogical protesting, etc over the Jo Pa dismissal has topped any stupidity anyone at UT ever commit.

Sorry PSU fans, when you enable a child molestor for a decade, you kind lost your right to be fired "with dignity".

Have a feeling it's gonna get ugly soon. 1968 democratic convention ugly? or is that too much.

Honestly I think his mind had slipped.
I can't wrap my head around his decision not to report that. He wasn't thinking clearly.
Just seems like for a normal, clear headed person its obvious you have to report that.

Come on man. You don't think the thought of having a child molesting sex scandal at PSU sounded like something Paterno, et al, didn't think would go over too well? What about denial? Why do you think they just told him to go somewhere else to do his raping and stay off campus?

The mind slipping holds no water.

But rioting is so much more fun.

Unbelievable They fired him! It took the Trustees to fire him to get him out of there without it being a circus on Saturday. For someone that cares about that University so much he didnt think about the consequense of his staying during this chaos.

...I think it would be accurately described as such: Bear Bryant will likely forever be the biggest name ever in the history of college football's greatest program. JoePa is Penn State.

Crowd booing cops. Flipping them off. And now chanting 'F--- the media.' With relish I may add.

You know how a lot of posters kept saying "Bruce Pearl is about Bruce Pearl"?

This is that same kind of thing. Joe Paterno is about Joe Paterno.

Jo Pa to UT??....

Don't be so stupid. Phil Fulmer to Penn State.

Hell no.

So, the new interim coach of Penn State, Tom Bradley, is the guy who replaced Jerry Sandusky.

Irony.

Still don't get how Sandusky goes in front of the DA in '99 and walks... and it takes 12 effin years for any of this to come to light again.

Do not get that.

 

[zjcvols]

Doyel is saying they are trying to start a fire now.

Don't forget that the janitors didn't say anything in 1998 because they were afraid of losing their jobs. Think about what that says about the culture around the PSU football program.

This is bigger than one individual decision by Paterno not to report allegations of a single awful crime.

@greggdoyelcbs Gregg Doyel
At least they're not singing 'Sweet Caroline.'

@greggdoyelcbs Gregg Doyel
Never mind. Some idiot started singing Living on a Prayer. And that led to Sweet Caroline.

.

@greggdoyelcbs Gregg Doyel
They're trying to decide where to start the fire. And with what.
