"Paterno’s portrait of himself is of an old-world man profoundly confused by what McQueary told him, and who was hesitant to make follow-up calls because he did not want to be seen as trying to exert any influence for or against Sandusky. “I didn’t know which way to go,” he said. “And rather than get in there and make a mistake . . .” He reiterated that McQueary was unclear with him about the nature of what he saw — and added that even if McQueary had been more graphic, he’s not sure he would have comprehended it. “You know, he didn’t want to get specific,” Paterno said. “And to be frank with you I don’t know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man." Yeah, fuck him and fuck those horseshit quotes. His legacy is gonna be remembered for what he didn't do in this situation, as it should. | ||

I dont understand this whole "dont talk shit about people who have died." Btw RIP joepa. Im not saying that it is not ok to call and evil person evil just because hes dead (I am not talking about Paterno here). Im just saying this guy died like a couple hours ago and I dont want this thread to be shitted up with people angry over the scandal before his death, its off topic, not to mention exceptionally rude to discuss something like that so shortly after his death. | ||

Ok so now its not a discussion of whether or not is ok to call someone evil after they are dead but a discussion of how long to wait? That just seems ridiculous. Let people speak their mind and if they disliked him as a person allow them to express that in what I hope would be a tasteful manner. I dont see what is so wrong about that. | ||

I haven't really read much about the whole Penn State molestation, but Paterno sounds like he deserved absolutely whatever he got, facilitating and enabling the things he did, and I don't know what to say toward the people who support him based solely upon his football reputation. | ||

Please respect the dead. He evidently made horrible mistakes in his life for which he probably should have received much more punishment, but the man just died. Have some damn respect for a human's death. | ||

There's this thing called shame. No sexual victims likes to see their face on the news paper next to the words "RAPED LITTLE BOYS ". hence why sexual victims almost never tell their story voluntarily. | ||

College football is the 2nd religion in some parts of US. It's big deal. Some college have over 100,000 people in the stadium during game day. Now thats more than what Real Madrid vs. Barcelona would bring. | ||

Thousands of people attend every single Division 1 game. Some people consider the NFL (professional football) a farce and that most of them are drama queens and only are in it for the money. (Same can be said of some professional basketball players, LeBron anyone?) | ||
