Rightfully so.
Life is hard when people do stuff to you. You know, those victims, or whatever you want to call them. Anyway, you all have been great!
lol
It's not that it's too soon. It's that it makes no sense.
Are you suggesting that Joe Pa should've retained his job?
Totally disagree...Paterno should have been the first to go. Taking the info he had and just walking it into the ADs office is just passing the buck. That is his program and his hire. As a leader he should have taken it upon himself to do more. There are allegations of sexual assault and all he does is tell the AD? Ridiculous...he should have followed up daily until it was resolved. Either his friend would be exonerated or he would have been guilty of child rape. That is not something you just sit back and wait on...he should have been proactive. It shows me how little he cares when Sandusky was on campus last week...clearly he did not grasp the gravity of what went on.I am not. Im suggesting he shouldn't have been the first one let go as there are people still employed by the university that did less to try and stop that sick fuck Sandusky.
Joe knew he had to go, and was prepared to do so. Yet out of the 100 or more people who could have and should have "done more" Joe was one of the handful to actually go right to his superiors in the workplace and to the local police force with the information he had, yet he is the media's scapegoat now. By firing him first and leaving some of these other stupid fucks employed and on salary at the university, it shows me the board was much more concerned with distinguishing all the bad press they were getting and fighting the PR battle than they were with the welfare of the children that were hurt.

No one grasped the gravity of what was going on. Did you read all the reactions to this by former players, coaches, etc.. who were close to Joe and Jerry? Everyone said this is a complete COMPLETE shock and Sandusky was always a great man, who was always willing to help out and would be the first one there if you needed him, etc, etc..
Joe knew of one incident in this entire grand "scheme" and with the info he got he went immediately to the AD and scheduled a meeting with the head of campus police and AD where they were informed of everything the GA had told Joe. They chose to do nothing and initiate a massive cover up, lying to Joe in the process about what was done multiple times. Joe's only mistake was not going to a higher authority than the campus police. He should have gone to child services.. yet if the people he told had done their jobs, we'd be talking about how courageous Joe was right now.
Those involved in the cover up and the eye witness McQueary are much more responsible in my eyes, and there are many many others who could have done more to prevent this and didn't.. yet Curley and McQueary arn't even fired? You have to be kidding me.
I also don't believe Joe and Sandusky were friends at the time of this incident either.. after what happened in 98 it sounded like Joe wanted little to do with the guy.

Who is Joe Paterno, and what is a Penn State?
