Interesting take:
“Let’s not ignore the timing of the release of the grotesque and shocking grand jury report/indictments, conveniently revealed a week after Paterno surpassed Grambling’s Eddie Robinson on the all-time wins list. A two-year investigation wrapped up just as JoePa placed a bow on his legacy .... Dean Smith, the far more self-aware basketball version of Paterno, retired at age 66. But coach Smith owned the Division I record for victories when he retired. North Carolina didn’t need to prop him up for a decade so he could surpass Adolph Rupp.”
For a contrast, take a look at the way PSU handled a PLAYER accused of sexual assault. His name is AUSTIN SCOTT. He was accused by a female student of sexual assault. Paterno and the football program dropped him like a hot potato. They couldn’t get him away from the program fast enough.
Scott maintained his innocence saying it was simply a college campus “hook up”. Turns out that Scott was telling the truth. His “victim” had a history of making these claims. The entire case was dropped.
Sandusky, the child rapist, is given the keys to the campus after he is seen sodomizing a ten year old boy. Scott is kicked out the door of the football program for having consensual sex with another student.
It couldn’t be because Scott was BLACK and the fiend Sandusky was WHITE. That could never happen at a place like Penn State.
This situation is akin to situation at Japan’s nuclear power plants after the earthquake. It gets worse with every passing day.
Also remember that these type of predators are relentless. Use the iceberg analogy. We are only seeing 10% of his victims. The other 90% are still unseen.
