“When you make college sports a religion..........”

The answers are pretty clear, if anyone dare to look for them.

Aug 23,2011 - Penn State ranked LGBT friendly
For the 10th year in a row, Penn State received a five-star rating — the highest score possible — on the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender-Friendly Campus Climate Index.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State recently aced the LGBT-Friendly Campus Climate Index with a five-star rating, one of only 33 universities out of 300 participating to receive top honors.

“The initial form was very complex and took a long time to fill out,” said Allison Subasic, director of Penn State’s LGBTA Student Resource Center, of the 50-point self-assessment questionnaire developed by Campus Pride.

LGBTQA community grows, thrives
In August 2010, Penn State was recognized as one of only 19 universities in the United States to receive a five-star rating on the Campus Pride Climate Index for its LGBT-friendliness and inclusiveness.

Shane Windmeyer, executive director of Campus Pride and the index’s creator, said his organization is focused on building safer and more LGBT-friendly campuses.

The AGENDA is far more important, than those damaged by it...

Sports at all levels right down to high school and youth levels has become a religion.

An infallible one to many.

I’m not taking a position on Paterno, but you’re observation is dead on accurate.

Sorry to disagree, but...

Growing up in the South, football WAS/IS/And ever shall be, a religion.

Hell, I knew a woman who told her daughter to break up with the daughter's boyfriend because he did not wear a tie to the Auburn vs. Alabama football game in 1965.

What is missing is no respect. For anything. And no self discipline.

Football, or any sport, was a contest where you respected your opponents. There never was a "taunting rule" because teams who were bitter rivals still respected each other.

Schools used to teach right from wrong.

Schools used to have Bible readings and a prayer every morning.

Schools used to have their sports teams gather in a large huddle and say the Lord's Prayer before games.

But most importantly, if you were doing, had done, or were thinking about doing something wrong, your contemporaries and school authorities held you accountable immediately.

They did not report to someone else, they immediately hit you with a "What the Hell do you think you're doing?" and trot you off for immediate punishment.

Football as a religion is good, but only if your moral compass isn't totally missing in action.
