I expected this to happen. PSU football is a cult in PA. These victims should have a protective detail. It isn’t going to be long before some drunk fan takes this situation into his own hands.
Pennsylvania has some very nasty white trash living in some rural areas. They burn down Amish barns, covered bridges, etc. I had an encounter with some once, which I won’t easily forget.
I probably should have posted this article and this article about John Matko, who dared to stand in the middle of Curtin Road, a few yards from Beaver Stadium, on the day of the Nebraska-Penn State game.
The Penn State graduate's cap had black tape over the logo. His handwritten sign said "put abused kids first," "the kids are what this day is about, not who wins or loses," "honor the abused kids by canceling this game and the season."
He was greeted with obscenities, thrown cups of beer, a slap, from Penn State fans.
And I couldn't find the *really* detailed article about all of the things that were said and done to him.
So, yeah, I can see a bunch of Penn State fans hounded this kid out of school for being Victim #1, the kid who was orally sodomized multiple times, and more. The kid who asked his mother about sex freaks, causing her to question why he wanted to know. The mother who contacted school officials. The school where two coaches spoke openly and frankly with investigators regarding their concerns with Sandusky.
What is interesting is that the Sports Illustrated Special Issue on this subject said that Steven Tuchetta, the coach who reported the sexual abuse of Victim #1, was now a hero in the town for simply doing what was required; something Penn State didn't do.
It appears Sports Illustrated wrote too quickly. Or maybe the coach is still revered (I doubt) and the vile attacks are only against the poor kid who was assaulted multiple times by Sandusky.
Penn State football. Gotta love those priorities.
