Is anyone else disturbed by this? It is no wonder that so much is done to protect the identity of whistleblowers nowadays. By all objective measures this man’s career and life was ruined as a direct result of being the whistleblower in the Sandusky child sex abuse scandal at Penn State.
Since that time he has divorced his wife, has not been able to land a job and lives with his parents.
He witnessed the rape of a 10 year old and didn't intervene. He told his dad, Paterno and Penn State officials (over a week later).
Yes, he clearly didn’t do enough at the time it happened. He made a mistake. He has acknowledged this multiple times. However, it isn’t as if the man committed a violent felony. You really think that his inaction warrants his career being permanently ruined? It doesn’t seem at all fair to me. If I had a football program I’d give him a shot. He’s had years to think about this. I’d imagine that at this point he probably feels like he has something to prove.

What 'doesn't seem fair to me' is not doing everything possible - instead of only the minimum required by law - regarding the rape of children.

The unwillingness to forgive in this case is unbelievable to me. The guy SCREWED UP, ok. We get it. It is no excuse but he was clearly pressured by the larger than life Paterno and untouchable Penn State football program. Still though, it’s been nearly 20 years since that happened. Can we all move on from it finally?

I'm with you if by moving on ...it was a life lesson to move on with.
I would hire the guy. He probably has viable skills . Unsure why someone wouldn't hire him.. Unless they are behaving like Sandusky and don't want him coming forth.

Because he's a moral coward and no one will ever respect him. No football program will touch him and rightfully so.

I take it you speak for the entire sports professionals? ( No one? Really?) . It's rightfully irritating when a bystander speaks for the industry.
I tend to think it's a broad stroke to say he's a moral coward. Certainly it's easy to say what 'some' might do . I myself witnessed an event that will haunt me due to the age of the kids. I was suspicious of the matter and did not call the police. Am I a moral coward,? Possibly in that isolated incident. Doesn't mean I consistently maintain ill moral deeds. Anyways I disagree with you.
He witnessed a 10 year old boy being raped. His ass should’ve been at the police station reporting what he saw. As far as I’m concerned, he’s only a step above Sandusky. No one is touching him with a 10 foot pole, and nor would I.
