Good coach though. Justice? He did no legal wrong doing. He reported the incident to his superiors, morally you can certainly argue that he did wrong. I don't see how reporting what someone told you is "covering up." You are fucking retard I'm sure you'd be this defensive if you got raped by that Sundusky guy (IDK his name).... It's not ok to just "let people know" about something going on, especially when you can actually do something to stop it.
Go on, what should he have done then? And don't give me shit about "if you've gotten raped.." My best friends older sister was molested when she was a kid. Rape is a serious thing, Joe should have gone to the police, but he reported it to his superiors instead, who in turn did nothing. Should Joe have followed up, absolutely. But the real monsters in this situation is Sandusky, and the AD and President at Penn State who did nothing.

When you dont completely understand what you were explained but you report the incident to people who should I struggle to see how thats not doing all he can. I do find it odd that he didnt understand what exactly child molestation is but I can accept that its a generational thing since it wasnt really reported on back in his generation.

All I'm saying, is that if I knew someone was getting raped, I'd alert the higher ups (If I was in a school etc.) And call the police so that it ends, and that noone else experiences what the others did. And don't gimme this BS about your friends sister getting raped lalala bullshit. Everyone knows rape is serious, and I'm not trying to underplay it. But if he thought the situation was serious as it was, he would've done more ...

He did alert higher ups. Thats what "superiors" means.

Paterno received second hand information that Sandusky was a child molester. There was no way of verifying the information. And as far as I know, Paterno has only been known to have been privy to that single reported instance.
Instead of reporting his friend to the police over allegations that may or may not be true (and forever ruining Sandusky's reputation in the process), he reported the information up his chain of command to a superior who actually had the manpower to order a full investigation.
Paterno's failure was that he did not follow up on his report.

I didnt say he didnt.... you moron. I said that I would've done what he did, and more. Because, rape is serious. But I guess it's just a joke to you.

Oh come on. He didn't understand what exactly child molestation is? Really?

I'll just go back to lurking. Apparently everyone on TL these days is a fucking Google-Human hybrid.

And then when they did nothing he just sat there and allowed Sandusky to do as he pleased. He even spoke for the guy at a children's charity.

Ya he was old weak and frail. He was only smart enough to operate a college football program, amongst other things. The words child, and rape, couldnt possibly be part of his vocabulary. Some of the defenses coming up here are just mind boggling.
I think we can settle on the conclusion that he was a good football coach, but not as good a person as he had been made out to be.
|
all he cared about was his football team and turned a blind eye to everything else. Even his family acknowledged that his life was basically just football these past couple of years and nothing else. I wish I could say I was sad for his passing but I'm not.

RIP JoePa
One of the best, the world of football will surely miss him.

RIP, little ahead of my time ofc, but I will always respect the heroes of the past
