Joe Pa actually dead

[Formerly Snayke]

you may disagree, but you can't tell them that they can't express those feelings.

 

Well of course he can't tell people that. What a stupidly obvious thing to point out.

Sulley has it correct.

 

He was arguably the most powerful person in central PA and he fired Sandusky who was his heir apparent after it became known what he was doing. I have to believe he was complicit in a cover up, and for the life of me I don't know why.

 

I'm not happy to see him dead, but I will always believe he's almost a guilty as Sandusky. Jo Pa had the power to do something and didn't.

ding, ding, ding. I am a winner.

 

Truffle you are embarrassing yourself, here. If this was somebody else you know you wouldn't feel the need to "set the record straight".

He was a football coach, not a messiah (which yes, I know some PSU people would have you believe). What happened sucked but really? He didn't rape kids and it's hard to put yourself in that kinda situation and say you would have acted immaculately.

Larry Brown Sports? Seriously, that's your source?

In honor of JoePa....how I will always remember him.

I'd like to think most of us would have decided that the guy raping little kids needed to be exposed, and dealt with.

I would think that many of us on here would go to the cops instead of our supervisor, but maybe that's just me.

That's what I meant, the fact he didn't go to the cops is just amazing to me. The man had a boy himself. I just don't get how he handled it the way he did.

[The R-Train]

Really, what's worse? The people who are mourning JoePa's death solely because he happened to coach their favorite team, or the people who are laughing about his death because he didn't do as much as he could to prevent the rape of children. I'd say the former are much more despicable.

 

And for the record, I always think it's silly to mourn celebrity deaths. I don't think I've cried over a celebrity death since Owen Hart and I was twelve years old then.

You've apparently missed the several people who've asked others not to express such feelings.

Should've realized arguing with know-it-alls on the internet goes nowhere. Enjoy your party

Immaculately? Perhaps not, but I am 100% confident I would have made damn sure the guy raping 10 year old boys on campus got exposed and stopped.

Do you really think people are upset just because he didn't act "immaculately"?

At 14:27 is my favorite JoePa memory.

this is implying that YOU might not have said anything and YOU believe others wouldn't have either. you are from the moon.

[bcl412]

I don't like the "you don't know how you would react in that situation" excuse. It's nothing more than a rationalization that protects the person who's mistake messed up lives.

 

He was put in a tough situation and messed up (and that's the best case scenario, worst case is he covered this [expletive] up). His consequences are/were no where near what the Sandusky victims have to deal with the rest of their lives.

[Magnetic Curses]

i think it's weird when people excuse his behavior as "human" when he did the opposite of what a human does in that situation.

[rocket]

guys joe paterno never even heard of a man raping another man, cut him some slack he was OLD and man rape wasn't invented until the 90's

[Magnetic Curses]

i love how ESPN is running an elegy for paterno from sandusky on the banner of NFL countdown.

[erik316wttn]

I'm not going to throw the guy a parade, but I'm not going to spit on his grave, either.

[Magnetic Curses]

no one asked what you think

[erik316wttn]

And I'm supposed to care.....why, exactly?
