How many threads are there condemning the fiend who actually raped these little boys?
There are far more threads condemning Paterno.
Why is there more hatred for Paterno than Sandusky on FR?
Just wondering?
The hatred for Sandusky is implied, there’s no debate about his guilt, so there’s really nothing to talk about....the waters are a bit muddier when it comes to Paterno.
Sandusky is the criminal, Paterno is the PUBLIC FACE of the organization that enabled, and covered up for, the criminal....
And if the perp was an assistant who was only with Paterno for a year or two, that’s one thing....but Sandusky was with Paterno at Penn State...FOR THIRTY YEARS!!!
I hate Sandusky more than Paterno, but not much.
If anyone who know about the fiend had done something to stop him years ago, many boys would not have been raped. So anyone who knew and did not stop him shares the guilt. It’s really simple.
This thread is about those who let it continue.
Because we deal with one, doesn't mean we are condoning the other.
It is Paterno's continuing status as an icon despite the moral failings in something correctly held to be within his sphere of responsibility which gets people angry.
Cheers!
