You ask if it was your son, well the parents of these victims did know about some of the "things" that were happening so obviously they didn't handle these things as well as they should. Secondly, at what point does self-accountability come in? At the point of this scandal breaking a lot of the victims were as old as their mid-20's. Where were they at to stop it? What about their parents? Where was the DA? The governor of the state? The executives of the second mile? The University police? Mike McQueary? Mike McQueary's father? The head of the university police? Tim Curley? Graham Spainer?

These were all people that knew just as much if not more than Paterno did about the incident. Why were all the stones thrown at one man who at this point is the only one that reported it to any type of authorities? The problem everyone let the media smoke and cloud up the actual story. Read the grand jury report and there is like 2 paragraphs out of a 23 page report that even implies Paterno. You really see the intelligence (or lack there of) of somebody by how easily they are manipulated by the media.

Tell me what grounds the university had to fire Paterno. You claim that if he was a CEO he would have been fired but I disagree. If he was a CEO (and not somebody who loves the university that fired him) he would have some serious litigation opportunity. I honestly can not figure out the grounds in which Paterno was fired. Was he fired because the superiors he reported the incident to did not do anything about it? Or was it because he is 84 years old? Or was it because people wanted him out and seen him as an easy target at the time?

Seriously I challenge you to name one violation that could hold up in court that he was fired due to.

There now I'll point the fingers at you.

Seriously??? You are blaming the victims. That is convenient, especially when most of the them were poor kids without a father. Can you be any more insensitive????

You can defend Paterno all you want, but it really makes no sense. None, whatsoever. Paterno doesn't even coach football, and hasn't for years. His assistants have been doing all of the work and getting none of the credit while he walks around like a God. Yeah, that's honorable. Paterno has the all-time coaching wins record, but he actually didn't coach the last five or six years. And he wasn't even on the field for 25 games due to health issues, but he still gets credit for those? How is that honorable??? And where is the integrity in that line of reasoning??? As I said previously, any large corporation where this would have gone down would have had the same outcome. Face it, Paterno f***** up due to his own arrogance and hypocrisy. Since when is not following up to insure that his former associate isn't raping kids considered honorable???? Where is the integrity in that? The jury of his peers agrees by an overwhelming margin that Paterno, the University president, and all of the football staff should be punished for begetting a culture that encouraged everyone look away due to fear, greed, and ego while young boys were systematically raped.

You ask why single out Paterno - here is why - he ran the show. The show which claimed nothing but honor and integrity, while everything around was really nothing but a sham.

You keep defending him and his associates, and all you do is make this entire situation look even more pathetic.

After posts and posts about how serious these offenses are and how you feel about the victims and would feel if it was your child, you turn this matter into a joke. Stop being fake, like most everyone else you don't give a rats a$$ about these victims or their families you only care about its effect on Paterno and Penn State football. If you truly cared and were concerned the way you make it seem in your other post you would never think of making a joke of the situation.
