OT: Joe Paterno Dead At 85

[humanrefutation]

I'm more than a little disturbed by the love he is getting on all the social media outlets and tv. I have no sympathy for a man who knowingly worked alongside a potential child rapist.

that's how i feel too

Maybe I haven't been keeping up on the deadspinning (I definitely haven't been), but when did this happen? I thought the McQuery incident happened after Sandusky had already retired.

It did. But he said "potential child rapist"...which is silly considering the fact that anyone can potentially be a child rapist.

On the other hand, what he did after being informed...that's another matter for which Paterno is responsible.

The whole thing that he passed the Sandusky thing to his superiors is a joke too since he ran that place.

So little talk about this in the media. Lots of people that don't want to see the truth.

I'll never revel in, nor dismiss the death of a human being as anything other than tragic, but that doesn't mean the man isn't responsible for the deeds and misdeeds that outlived him. It's beyond disgusting that the media and others are whitewashing recent history like this.
