Poor choice of words. The deserve a chance to win. Better?
No - that is not better. Again, they don’t DESERVE anything - not any more than anyone else. Much less the victims. The players are not victims. Whether they (or you or other PSU supporters) realize it or not now, they ARE supporting the perverts and those that are covering up the perverts.
I don’t mean any offense to you, but the players and the Penn state fans are NOT the victims, but are just playing into the hands of the god of winning at all costs. The victims are those young boys who trusted someone, and the other victims are those who are appalled at what is happening as if someone got caught stealing a football.
Prayerfully, in time, those who are sticking up for Paterno and others will come to their senses. And then, they will also be victims.
