    I just don't get why the attitude is all one or the other. Obviously I feel terrible for the kids involved in this, but that doesn't mean I can't also feel bad for other people affected by Jerry Sandusky being a disgusting pile of dog shit.

    I have seen the future and I'm fairly relieved to say, it looks nothing like me.

    Also, O.J. has a Heisman Trophy, but he has no Super Bowl ring.
    But it is. He ignored the complaints AND neglected to remove the guy from his post where he was in contact with these boys. And he promoted the people who might expose him. Fuck him. Legacy as a sports coach has nothing to do with his legacy as a selfish scumbag.

    What if he wasn't a sports icon? And he was just a random person on the street who happened to witness child molestation and didn't report it? Maybe the reason was laziness, or just not wanting to be involved, or complete apathy for the victmi. Doesn't really matter the reason, nor does sports have anything to do with it. So, would you still think he's a bad guy?

    I would.

    Ha what?
    I havent seen one person backpedal on their hatred for Paterno after they have heard of his legacy.
    If they didnt know him before, thats not going to change their mind now.
    I know every single thing that man has done, i love college football as well as professional and I can tell you i still wouldnt defend him

    If I heard a kid was getting some disgusting guys dick shoved inside of him in the showers and i had the *power* (key word) that JoePa had, than I wouldnt stop until that situation was taken care of.

    He can do both. OJ has!

    I think it's people not understanding why people like the guy at all that is bothering me. I mean it's not just a game thing. There are people whose lives he's touched directly (lulz) who are grieving for the man, and people are acting like they're a bunch of face-painting morons.

    One of Nery's friends put up a "if you wanna say something negative about Joe P., you can just unfriend me now."

    I just don't get how it got so serious.

    You cant talk shit on people who knew what he did but dont know his legacy if youre going to love his legacy and not fully understand what took place

    There were plenty of fans who were appalled and decried his actions. It split the campus. I'm not talking about anything except how he sold out the lives of children to protect the school's image and his career. So fuck him.

    Yea but pretty much if your defending what he did, based solely on his history at Penn State, then that does make you a mindless Penn bot.
    I saw footage of 20 year olds throwing themselves at his memorial and crying just thinking to myself wait till they leave the state of Pennsylvania, theres a whole world out there

    But he reported it, right?
    Aren't people mad he didn't follow up?

    He's dead. We'll never know why he did what he did.

    actually we might know why he did what he did.
    I heard on ESPN he had called a couple reporters to his house in the days before he died so he could "tell his side of the story"
    Im waiting for that to come out

    No. He sat on the information and then eventually discussed it with the other school people and they elected to do nothing. Have you read anything about the case? We do know what he did because he admitted to it.

    He may be a great coach, but he was a shitty human being. Case closed.

    I really don't want the graphic details. I heard more about Sandusky than Paterno. That was awhile ago though.
    Anyone remember Sandusky? The one accused of actually touching the kids.

    Yeah, and Sandusky will face trial. Or kill himself beforehand. Whichever. The guy who abets him doesn't get a free pass. It's not one over the other.
