horrible thing to say about such a good man, this statement obviously portrays your ignorance to the subject.

Yes, he was very good to go along with covering up the fact Sandusky was raping and sodomizing children in the Penn State locker rooms, and never reporting it the actual police. Originally Posted by Clevername

A. He never witnessed it himself Originally Posted by Joyride

He became the scapegoat in a huge fuckup by the athletic department of the university.

Reading some of these comments on here (I think you know which) says a lot about society today.
RIP Joe Pa, from a Nebraska fan.

Stop putting someone on a pedestal for winning football games. His moral compass was fucked. Considering he has children it's hard to believe he didn't know the right steps to take to keep other people's children safe. Great people die everyday, I don't consider Joe Paterno one of them.

RIP JoePa, Class of 2007 Will miss you. It's a shame really, after reading these comments how some people don't read news reports at all. I knew once he became the scape goat he wouldn't make it till next year.. then the reports of cancer came up and that just confirmed my thoughts.

He didn't just win football games, he turned thousands of 18 year old kids into men... prepared them for life after football by putting them on a path in the right direction; gave millions in his own personal money to build the library that effects the 45,000+ students at PSU, charitable contributions over 40 years, and much more.
He openly admitted to making a mistake and wishing he had done more, but one mistake cannot, nor will it overshadow (for long anyway) 61 years of his legacy.

Sorry, it's just my opinion, but standing back while a handful of boys were molested far outweighs helping thousands. Had he done the right thing his legacy would be that much more memorable. You'd be saying "RIP JoePa for turning boys into men and putting men who molested boys behind bars.". Originally Posted by Heilige

He will always be remembered for his part in covering up children being raped at Penn State by the majority of sane people, who don't care that he won dopey football games. Get some perspective for fuck's sake. Originally Posted by Heilige

Everyone here is either going to say "RIP JoePA" or "LOLCHILDMOLESTER" (because they didn't read the full news report) or "LOL GUY THAT KNEW ABOUT CHILD MOLESTATION AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!"
I don't see how any new contributions can be made to this thread. Can we close it, please?

PSU lost a great man.
To all the morons posting about what he did/didn't do: Grow the hell up. How many times must you be told he heard about it 2nd hand... He did what he thought was right and I support JoePa for what he did. (i said this now some moron will go and say "you support a molster?" JoePA didn't molest anyone...)

Just gonna close this since there's a thread on Joe Pa in the Sports forum.
