the actions of Joe Paterno, as well as the head figures in the Penn State hierarchy have come to light, what was once just heresay and speculation is fact. As someones who's harbored admiration for what Paterno accomplished with his football program and school I cant help but feel cheated, mislead, and shamed for ever having felt that. This goes beyond football and a school, and my opinion of Paterno is now despicable to say the least.
I feel like the thing most people are overlooking(not saying anyone in this thread or forum but in general) is the fact that paterno was an enabler in this whole situation. This WAS about football and the death penalty NEEDS to be handed down, give the students an extra year of eligibility and allow transfer. REMOVE paterno's statue asap, the only thing it will ever do from this point on is remind everyone of the heinous and callous disregard for the safety and well being of the victims, almost like spitting in the face of them.
what are your guys opinions and thoughts.
