No it isn't. I'm still of the opinion that it was more a problem with the administrators then Paterno but regardless ignoring history doesn't make it better. Remembering history fully will prevent it from happening again.
Wow, are you a PSU alum?

Surprised they want to deal with the media attention from this.
Water under the bridge baby. JoePa was just unintended collateral damage in cleaning up that little situation. Dear lord I wish we had pirate jimlad back.
No but he didn't rape them. Sandusky is the one that deserves the outrage. Paterno should have done more to stop it but he didn't rape the kids.Ya we should unless you condone rape of kids.
If you are the head of an organization, and you knowingly allow someone in your organization utilize their position in your organization to molest children, that makes you scum.No but he didn't rape them. Sandusky is the one that deserves the outrage. Paterno should have done more to stop it but he didn't rape the kids.
A court hearing document was recently released that basically said a victim confronted Paterno about it, and Paterno said he had a football team to run.Was it proven that Paterno knew of the crime? If he honestly never knew he was employing a pedophile I could understand.

This, and JoPa's big thing was doing things the right way or something like that. Lo and behold he didn't do things the right way in 1974 when it was tough, but the right thing to do.Or even one single stinking thing. For example:
1. Call the police.
2. Stop publicizing Sandusky.
3. Fire him in 1974 when he first (for now) found out.
4. Refuse him access to Penn State facilities, including showers, bathrooms, weight rooms, fields, and the office he maintained for decades.
5. Turn his back while parents let justice be served. He liked turning his back, after all.
Or, just do absolutely nothing, keep winning and making a fortune the JoePa way.
There's no limit to ways this scumbag should be dishonored. There should never be another moment of honor for a man that willingly enabled a known pedophile again.
He knew it was happening. He didn't stop it, although he was certainly in a position to do so. He was complicit.No but he didn't rape them. Sandusky is the one that deserves the outrage. Paterno should have done more to stop it but he didn't rape the kids.

Yes, indeed. Just as we should celebrate Hitler's oratory and charismatic leadership and not worry about the Holocaust. *jimlad*I know this isn't a popular opinion but we shouldn't ignore his accomplishments just because of the scandal.
