I guess this is one of the things that "gets me" about Paterno apologists.
They think Paterno...
...knows about the no-huddle urgency involved on the part of his offense when his team his down late in the game; but when it comes to offenses (as in criminal offenses) late in the night where children are at risk, they suddenly defend a Paterno who takes the time to do all these weekend huddles and who shows no urgency to either report the crime to his superiors (24 hours) or to authorities (never...til subpoenaed). [see Scenario I]
...is smart enough to snuff out the smallest of opponents' details to exploit on the field a dozen times a year; but when it comes to Elephant behavior of coaches off the field, they suddenly think he's as dense as possible. [See Scenario II]
...or they treat Paterno as if he was some sort of a "god" -- strong enough to withstand a board attempt to dump him as coach in 2005; yet was so limp-minded in 2002 that he couldn't utilize his unique position of influence or considerable power to even encourage authorities to investigate Sandusky for 2002 specific behavior on campus! [see Scenario III]
Hmmm...Tell you what Penn State fans...if your coaches were to do on the field [ignore scouting details; huddle up during urgent situations and show absolutely NO sense of urgency; and use tucked-away info to influence potential recruits]...you'd have their "butt" in a sling.
And that would be just for violating common-sense on-field football protocol when victories are at stake...
BUT...when it comes to exercising common-sense off-field safety protocol when children's lives are at stake...
...oh...ho-hum...who cares...?
It is the homosexual element. The honosexual agenda. We can’t say that though.
I can’t imagine what McQueary saw and how he reacted. I’d like to think I would have reacted differently. I think I would have. I know my husband would have. Rescuing the child and beating the perp to an inch of his life. We’re not supposed to feel that way. I stil think I would.
I’m appalled McQueary didn’t act...didn’t do anything. But I think it’s how we are teaching our kids. And, he saw a coach, his former coach doing this, and he’s been taught not to react like a man, not to think aomwrhing is wrong with this, and hell to protect his job.
It’s all freaky, imo. Then he goes to Paterno the next day and Paterno reports it to his supervisor. Nothing is done.
But what makes a 28 yr old man, huge man at 6’2+ and 240 lbs not intervene when he sees a 10 or 11 yr old kid being raped in the locker room showers?
Even if he couldn’t intervene, all the cops.
I don’t get it.
But the blaming has to stop. It’s not Paterno’s fault. He didn’t witness it. What if he did? What the outcome be different? Who knows.
McQuery told him something of what he saw. McQuery didn’t stop it in progress. According to GJ report/presentment, he looked into the eyes of a 10 yr old being raped and walked away.
But it bothered him enough to tell his parent and to then tell Paterno. He knew it wasn’t right or normal.
I don’t understand it all.
The media spin is not surprising, look at how the recent child rape and sex slavery of children by a lengthy European elite, many of whom are in the Netherlands and on the Euro-council was treated as ‘merely’ a child pornography ring.
4 pages of rambling fantasy is a sign of psychosis.
you might want to seek professional help
Paterno knew in 1998.
BS. You have your own agenda.
What you see from Penn State students and Alumni is trying to process the info and deal with FACTUAL info, not the info you want to present and not the info the media wants to present.
You can hate Penn State and Paterno all you want but those of us who are Alumni or students on here ain’t buying it. We ain’t buying the media spin either.
I bleed blue and white. Deal with it. I ain’t a Paterno worshipper. If it comes out he was involved, I will be shocked and surprised.
I cheer for Penn State and I freakin love football, college football. I’m a Steelers fan too. And I grew up in philly not pittsburgh.
You have an agenda. I ain’t buying into it.
I don’t understand it from the janitors to McQueary to Paterno to Curly to Shultz to Spanier to Dr. McQueary, and who-the-heck-who-know-who-else is out there.
There’s plenty blame to go around...including Paterno.
I’m sickened by the lack of urgency surrounding a brutal rape.
McQueary did what he did. That was bad enough.
One day passes and he goes to Joepa. JOEPA!!! We recognized and loved him for his upstanding wholesome morals as well as his coaching legend.
It’s only one day later....they can still find the kid. They can recognize the importance of getting to him AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Sure...JoePa tells Curly....after waiting yet another day.
Why was there no curiosity on his part beyond that?
He sits on it all evening? He goes to bed, manages to fall asleep, and calls Curly 2 days after the brutal rape.
No one ever said you “only” have to call the AD.
You can call the cops AND the AD...you’re JoePa - you can do whatever the heck you want.
They are ALL responsible.
>> “They are ALL responsible.” <<
.
Yes, and they all should spend the rest of their days in solitary lockup.

The unspeakable element for folks like Rush is that the majority of the victims of this and other devils associated to the this scandal were black children. The media cannot allow that discussion to surface because of the riot implications, and we know barry bassturd is just looking for some trigger to launch the race war he so desperately needs to remain in power.
Speak for your self.
WE YOU ARE PEMM STATE.
And you can KMA about football or aplogists or anything to do with Penn State.
Got your number and I ain’t buying, regardless of how naive I am. I ain’t THAT naive.
You don’t know a thing about Penn State or the Alumni. You only know about the media perception. And you don’t know a thing about college football. KMA
If it comes out that Paterno knew and covered up, I will be shocked and I will apologize to you.
I have no doubt there’s a huge coverup protected by the homo agenda/activists, including politicians. This is only the beginning.
Save it. I know football. I once thought he should have retied more than a decade ago. Then I saw just what he was all about and Penn State wouldn’t be the team they are without him, The media hates him (one of the reasons I like hin0 He’s coached this team for over 4 decades and he did something right even if the media and naysayers refuse to admit it.
You can save your football crap cos I know football and I ain’t buying it :)
Lose a whole lot of that nonsense and then we can talk football.
I totally suck with typing.
But this was sooooo important. RME.
Did I type that all correctly? Let me know.
WE ARE PENN STATE.
Better now? ;)
it’s not like Penn State is the catholic church or anything...
following the ‘logic’ seen on this thread, the pope would have been discommunicated during the 90s, as the information of the abuses were sent to the highest levels
of course with the church, there were numerous (tens) of priests diddling the boys.
then again, the church is nothing like public school... which dismisses roughly 700 ‘teachers’ nationwide every year for molesting kids. why people aren’t calling for Arne Duncan’s head (or any of the past DoE secretaries over the last 15+ years) on a platter is beyond me
I bleed blue and white. [...] I cheer for Penn State [...] You have an agenda [...]Ahem, who is the one with an agenda?
You have ta graduate assistant (now an assistant coach), head coach and athletic director ALL KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED NOT BRINGING IN THE POLICE. Not only did they not bring in the police, they kept Sandusky around. Sandusky was on campus in the weight room a week ago! Sandusky was recruiting for the upcoming class.
I can't imagine that Rush would be concerned about being fired for talking about either the homosexual or racial angle (if there is one).
I'm at a loss to think what could put his job in jeopardy.
I meant to ping you to #59.
