Joe Paterno (Penn State)

Post by _James_ »

After all the sick chants over the years about Wengers policy of buying youngsters, to find out it was actually happening in the US with college kids is shocking and it has been covered up for so long! It seems to have happened 10 years ago and involves people very high up at the college as well helping to cover up.

Lucky he doesn't manage in the UK or he would get a lot of fans shouting abuse at the next match. Though if he stays there will be alot of protests at their matches.

he wasnt the one doing it, just apparently knew about it and didnt say anything.

it was not to college kids but to 10 year old kids who the man in question (penn state defensive coordinator) would bring to the campus and use the showers with the kids.

either way, joe paterno has lost his entire legacy, which was up there with the greatest coaches in any sport ever.

Paper I read said he did report it but only to his boss in the University, not to the police.

Absolute disgrace. The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach. Sandusky deserves everything he gets, and then some. As for Parterno, yes he reported it to his immediate supervisor and as such, is now out of the firing line in the eyes of the law, but fuck me, he's was told about this around ten years ago and has done next to fuck all about it. Sandusky is a man Paterno knows very well and Paterno effectively turned a blind eye to it. How could you live with the knowledge that someone you've known for around fifty years is raping young boys and getting away with it? Especially when you are in a position to do something about it.

The whole thing fucking stinks and everyone involved in this disgusting cover-up is fucking scum.
