Just a reminder that the Penn State football program enabled a child rapist for

The current coaches, players and fans had nothing to do with that

They honored Paterno at a game last year and they deny anything happened.

The only thing I ever saw that implicated Joe was an e-mail that wasn’t

He knew before the 2001 incident. Two weeks ago a new report came out reporting

Read the Freeh report. Pretty damning

I am very skeptical about the Freeh Report. It was put together hastily and IMO

Here is the problem. An assistant coach, mike mcqueary, saw Sandusky rape a child and reported it to Paterno. He

Hastily? Engages in November, released the following July

BlackBart

OK. My memory is fuzzy. Not hasty.

gwalker

9/23/17 10:23pm

Also Paterno passed away when the investigation was ongoing

BlackBart

Or could be that it was convenient to try to pin blame on a guy who wasn’t

gwalker

I'm not personally convicting the guy and I doubt Freeh's client

BlackBart

You need to read the report. He knew. He knew and let Snadusky take a kid with him to a bowl game.

And they constantly whine how hard the NCAA was on them despite the punishment

One of the big dilemmas in college sports. USC reaps the benefits of foul play

I view it more political. USC's actions were incredibly minor compared to PSU

BlackBart

And now his son is accused.

Ugh. That probably man's the son was abused.

Ragnar Danneskjold

Son confessed iirc. Guilty and awaiting sentencing.

True but what more do you do about it?

I just want us to be aware. People are forgetting and that's wrong.

Better than nothing. Some on here still defend him/PSU so it helps.

IceCreamButt

9/23/17 9:09pm

Most people - players, fans and even coaches over the years had nothing to do

gwalker

9/23/17 8:55pm

The Penn state program and fans deny anything happened. They are guilty.

SandYFan

9/23/17 8:57pm

That is a false and idiotic statement

Ulysses14

9/23/17 8:59pm

Because you say so? Nope.

SandYFan

9/23/17 9:00pm

Hmmm. Except I know plenty of PSU fans who say otherwise. You live in PA too?

Visit the college football subreddit. Plenty of deniers there.

This is very recent history. It's fair to keep it relevant.

White people used to own slaves. Germans had concentration camps.

The Freeh report has been disputed. Look, not saying he is innocent or guilty,

Again, McQueary testified in court that he saw Sandusky raping a kid in the shower. He told Paterno. Paterno did nothing

Disputed by PA politicians and those connected to the university?
