Too Much



I hadn't heard about any homosexual orgies or little boys being forced to perform sex acts against their will. So why is everybody in the program since 1998 being punished for Jerry Sandusky's crimes? That's like vacating all of Phil Jackson's championships because we discovered Tex Winter was a pedophile. "That's my point exactly". You don't even know him. Forget about Michael Jordan, Shaquile O' Neal and Kobe Bryant. Their exemplary careers don't matter. They were just on the wrong team at the wrong time..

Joe Paterno reported the allegations to his boss. What else was he supposed to do?  If the police didn't arrest the assistant coach based on the claims. He couldn't ban the man away from the campus. How many people would have put their $100,000 annual salaries on the line.?  Joe Paterno  was making over  $1 million a year. The overwhelming majority of people I know would do the same thing. They  wouldn't jepordize $ 40,000 let alone a million. You have people looking  the other  way everyday for much less.

I'm not saying this crime should go unpunished, but this is overkill. Black people better stop being so quick to wave the red and green. First it was same sex marriage now it's this. When it was discovered some of the kids were black, it was a rap for them. Don't be so quick to celebrate when it looks  like whites are getting screwed. These same people thought it was an injustice when they wanted to fire Carol Johnson up in Boston. We're not talking about finding out the coach at Lincoln Jr. High was messing with little Antoine. They would have just moved him to Lanier and he would have found a Terry. No jobs or scholarships would have been lost. His poor mother would just have to accept her son is taking money from grown men. I'm calling it down the middle. The same thing goes for the boys that goes for the girls.

For all those that think justice has been served by the NCAA. Not  so fast. After handing down the biggest sanctions in college football history short of the death penalty. What has this done to stop pedophiles from preying on little boys. They  were fined  only $60 million, when they make more than that a year. The NCAA and the University threw Joe Paterno under the bus to hurry and close the investigation. I can understand the fine and future bowl suspensions against the school. But the firing of Joe Paterno, the removing of his statue, and the vacating  of 112 wins from the school's record. Is a bit too much.

    This may be the most ridiculous of all of the "blame Joe" nonsense that has come out since the Boards "Cover Our Ass Louis" report came out. Freeh was hired by the Board to dig up and place as much blame on Joe as possible to help fend off the Paterno family's wrongful termination suit. But the most absurd slide of all in this BS is the one that says "after 1998 Joe failed to closely monitor Sandusky's behavior". First, that might be because Sandusky left PSU in 1999. But more over, Joe Paterno was a football coach, not a law enforcement official, or a Child Welfare Department employee, or anybody who was in any position to know what Sandusky was doing much less "monitor" his behavior. The alleged notes that claim to say that Joe wanted to be kept informed of the 1998 investigation led to him being informed that the charges were dropped and Sandusky was cleared. So what this reporter is saying is Joe should have confronted Sandusky and said "even though you don't work here any more, and you have been cleared of the charges against you, I am going to monitor your private life behavior"? Ridiculous. It was also made clear today that Sandusky was given emeritous status and access to PSU by The President of the University, not by Joe Paterno and it was part of a retirement package, not because he was connected to the football program. Nobody knows what, if anything, Joe discussed with Tim Curley until Curleys trial. Until then, all Louis Freeh should have said to the Board was " CYA mission accomplished".
