What the “Death Penalty” will do is provide an incentive.
The people who suspected Sandusky had plenty of incentive to keep their mouths shut. Next time, seeing what happened to Penn State, they’ll have incentive to speak up.
That’s the theory, anyway.
a mass punishment full of sound and fury, signifying nothing
However it will send a lot of teenage football player talent and coaching staff to Georgia, Alabama, USC, Ohio, Tennessee and elsewhere.
O the humanity
I would personally like to see PSU (and then all of the NCAA schools) required to institute a mandatory course required of all adults and students, about homosexual deviancy and pedophilia, how the hawks move on their victims, what causes it, the damage it causes, and the responsibility to report it. Every member of faculty and every student over 18 made a mandatory reporter. PSU required to fund a sex crimes investigation squad in the local police
Yep, when you hang a horse thief, you don’t necessarily do for the one horse, you do it dissuade anybody else thinking of it in the future.
It makes as much sense to punish the innocent at Penn State as it does to take guns away from people who don’t murder.
Actually, if they were Penn State fans, the penalty will encourage them to keep quiet. After all, they wanted to stop Sandusky, not destroy their sport teams.
If you punish the people who report the crimes, they won’t report the crimes.
This isn’t like paying off athletes, where the students got something, and the sports program got something. The sports program and the students had nothing to do with this — it was a person committing crime, and people covering up the crime.
If this was an english professor, would they step in and remove all the college of arts and sciences scholarships?
You know, if this is appropriate, why don’t governments all around the country cut off all taxpayer funds to elementary and secondary schools when teachers are found to have been having sex with students?
Why are sports the only thing where we think the sports should be punished for the actions of the adults?
I guess I better add that I feel for the victims, Sandusky needs to rot in jail, and those who helped cover this up should be prosecuted and share a cell with him.
Because I’ve seen other threads where if you don’t say that, people assume you are supporting the rapists or something.
