There are already multiple threads on this subject so I'm not sure why one would want to start another. Especially one based upon a falsehood. Paterno and Sandusky were never best buddies.
There is plenty to slam Paterno for without the need to make stuff up.
It seems like this happens in so many stories. IMO it's part of the reason the country has so much discord. I stated in the other main thread that I believe the child molestion aspects will forever be the opening topic of any discussion on Paterno now and his legacy is ruined. There is no need to try and make things up though.
So your argument is that they weren't "best buddies?" That's what compelled you to respond? To dispell any notion that they weren't best pals? You're kidding, right? The guy turned a blind eye to child rape, and you're here trying to defend the notion that he and Sandusky weren't best pals?? You realize that doesn't matter, right?
The NCAA should do the right thing and strip Paterno and Penn State of all of their wins and other awards going back to the first proven instance of abuse.
Give me a break. Can you possibly come up with anything more ludicrous?
Paterno should be loved by the rw. He followed the creed. Penn State made lots of money and provided jobs so who cares if some poor kids got hurt right?
Actually the NCAA should allow current players to transfer and play immediately at another school IMO. I wouldn't want my kid representing that school on the football field that's for sure.

Ignorant post of the day #2. Odd how that happens when liberals join the thread.

Meh. My college was stripped of all wins and a championship for several seasons because a player accepted money from a recruiter. Having the head of the team cover up for a guy who used a charity to find underprivileged children to rape is...well, I can't find a word to describe how much worse that is. It seems fairly obvious to me that the NCAA should take a stand on this, and that anyone who knew, and aided Sandusky, should spend some time in jail.
From what I understand, this is already beginning to hurt Penn state football with the loss of prospective recruits. It's going to hurt the university further from possible class action lawsuits using this investigation's results as evidence. They also may have lost some money from alumni. Time will tell how hard and long their punishment will be.

If it doesn't matter there was no reason for you to include this in your discussion. He hid what Sandusky did not to protect Sandusky but to protect Penn State.
No, there is no moral difference in the two but I hate when people simply make things up. For you it seems that he did something wrong so the truth is irrelevant.
