Mods need to stop being retards and allow people to continue to tell the truth about this guy. He may be dead, but that doesn't mean he all of the sudden is a great person now. Giving him a pass just because he's famous and coached a long time is disgusting. they didn't give him a pass. only ppl that got banned are the ones that went over the line. You know what they say right ? don't like it ? GTFO I'm sure calling mods retards will go over well, cya. | ||

No one can deny he was a great football coach, but when you start calling him a hero after what he let happen... what is wrong you with guys! You clearly don't know anything about Joe Paterno. First off on the issue of the scandal, he did everything he was supposed do. He contacted his superiors AND the head of the penn state police. Joe Paterno didn't even know the full extent of what was happening because "out of respect" for him Miike McQueary didn't tell him exactly what he saw, just told him some vague things, but Paterno still did everything he was legally and morally required to do there. And outside of football Joe Paterno is a legend too. The hospital he died in, guess who paid for the damn thing? Do you have any idea how much money Joe donated not only to Penn State but to charities and hospitals and things of the sort? He kept barely any of his salary, and gave it all back to the school, the community, and to people who needed it. The man lived in a tiny tiny house while making millions of dollars because he thought his money was better of spent helping people. | ||

The man lived in a tiny tiny house while making millions of dollars because he thought his money was better of spent helping people. his legacy has been permanently scarred by sandusky. whatever he did prior to this is lost unfortunately. and it is painfully obvious that he did what was "legally" supposed to be done. the legitimate facts about what happened following the assistant coach letting paterno know, he let the school know. That is it. That was the only legal obligation he had and he fulfilled it but he didn't bring up any moral obligations. its unfortunate that he died and my condolences but pelase don't say that he morally did everything that he was supposed to do. It isn't true and there were a lot of people who suffered following this. | ||

Very sad he is gone You are very ignorant. He made Penn State what it is, a place where it was ok to sexual assault boys if you were an assistant coach. I can safely say he won't be missed. Such disregard for the victims is disgusting. Would you have been so insensitive if you/your son got raped ? I doubt it.

It's a shame you value football over pedophilia. Ppl like you need to get their priorities straight. He will be remember as a criminal who willfully let little boys be raped. BTW i'm 30. Karma, come get me bro. | ||

A lot of other people could have stopped Sandusky that also didn't. It seems that would not make Joe Pa the worst person ever, but just another average person that also didn't do enough. It also means his integrity didn't rise above everyone else's and allow him to do the right thing. Again, just average, and for that I don't feel the need to honor his passing, but I also don't feel the need to piss on his grave. | ||

Go fuck off User was warned for this post Obviously he was not a child molestor, and as you say, he alerted his superiors. But surely the reasonable thing to have done would be perhaps the week after ask his superiors if they followed up on the whole child rape thing, and when they obviously haven't, the only non-culpable thing to do is go to the police. I'm sorry he died, he obviously did many important things for his community, but this seems to have been a pretty fucking big omission on his part. | ||

I feel terrible loss for the kids, not Paterno. Sorry, but my respect is earned, not granted. | ||

But some people who question this topic as "news worthy" actually have a point. College football isn't very popular outside of the U.S. and the people posting these comments are from Poland, U.K., etc. We can assume they know about the Penn State controversy before Paterno's death, but that doesn't mean they can't question why a thread is being created about his death. Given that the op is a truly respected member of the community should validate the reason why it warrants a thread. Other peoples deaths have warranted their own thread. Its just a shame that he had to pass away with this storm brewing around him. That and if you have something negative and hateful to say about him, the threads not about that, best left unspoken. | ||

If I were drafted to war I would be an honorable soldier and never commit any atrocities. Wow, I just realized I am such a great human being when I have the benefit of hindsight and hypothetical situations. Now I am going to pat myself on the back for being so awesome. A lot of other people could have stopped Sandusky that also didn't. It seems that would not make Joe Pa the worst person ever, but just another average person that also didn't do enough.

He did great things... but sadly, letting that go without alerting the police or going to the media, destroyed is reputation. And it was deserved. He valued the school reputation more than those kids. Yes, a lot of people could have stopped Sandusky and did not. I would have puted them in the same boat but I just don't know them... He had the power to stop all this. To save so many kids... but he didn't. And for that, I feel no sympathy. Nothing he did worth all the life of all those boys that got molested... I seriously can't feel any sympathy. But I can see why some people are honoring him. | ||

Actually yeah I do know a bit about joepa considering three of my cousins went to penn state and I visit them every year during thanksgiving to watch FoOtBaLl And no, he did not do everything "morally" required, wtf is wrong with you. He even said so himself. And guess what, at the end of the day someone who facilitates child rape is not a legend, no matter how many Hospitals they built. | ||
