I’ll repeat what I said on another related (not a duplicate) thread:
I grew up in PA (south central) and never understood the near-idolization given to that man. I always thought he looked kind of creepy, could never figure out why. When it became clear he was at least complicent with Sandusky’s evil then I knew my instinct about the man was correct.
So you all can debate about whether Trump meant bringing “Joe Pa” back from the dead, or restoring his statue on campus, or even bringing his “spirit” back to PA it’s all irrelevant. The man was a jerk to cover for his assistant coach like he did. Period! He deserves no such adulation and respect!
Just goes to show to me again what character Trump has quite frankly.
Go ahead flame away, as you desperately try to justify your idolizations of either or both men.
Paterno had a lot of people who liked him across the land. He was an icon to many.
Just because you think lowly of him doesn’t change the fact that many more thought highly of him. And his fans are not stupid people.
