Paterno was fired from his position but was never charged with a crime. At the time, Paterno notified the university's former athletic director, Tim Curley, but did not call police.Ī week before Paterno died, the coach testified before a grand jury in 2012 claiming that he 'had "no inkling" that Sandusky might be a sexual deviant' until he heard the allegation from McQueary. The report has cast doubt on the denials made by Paterno that the legendary coach was unaware of the abuse before the 2001 incident. In front of your grandmother.New light has been shown on the Sandusky (pictured in 2015) sex case revealing details from whistleblower Mike McQueary, who reported to Paterno that he'd seen Sandusky showering in a locker room with a young boy in 2001 And before you can do that, you have to be able to say what it is he did. If you are going to defend Joe Paterno, be prepared to defend the actions that led to his firing. And we may never know how much damage this bastard went on to perpetrate on young children to whose care he was entrusted. What did he do? He told his boss…who said do nothing. Did he haul the staffer out back and, as hopefully all of us would do, beat the living daylights out of the creep until he was just simply dead? No. Did he report the staffer’s activities to the organization through which said staffer was meeting the kids? No. Did he report the staffer to the cops? No. A man knew about one of his employees *raping children*. That’s what we’re talking about in this case. Students of Penn State University are actively engaging in the criminal destruction of property to express their outrage that officials have fired a man who did very little to nothing to stop one of his high-level staffers from inserting his penis into the anuses of little boys.īefore you express outrage at the shitcanning of Joe Paterno, the university president, or anyone else involved in this sad, sickening commentary on the state of this once-great society, you should have to read that statement. So let’s look closely at it, read between the words, and fill in the blanks. as I was getting ready to head out to work. I’ve spent a little time over the past few hours thinking about that simple sentence, uttered this morning by some moronic talking head on the T.V. Hemingway is important, when we begin to dissect the sentence above, because with Hemingway you’re supposed to “read between the words” to find the nuanced meanings of the things unsaid. In fact, one of the most often comments I receive from critique groups and rejection letters center on comparisons between my writing style and that of Ernest Hemingway. I’m a writer whose sentences are at best Spartan. Students are rioting in support of JoePa.
For I assure you what is currently unfolding on the campus of Penn State University would make even Voltaire blush in embarrassment for the unlikelihood of it all. We should forego most of the gory details about this and get right to the absurdity of it all. An outright scandal that has, to date, brought down the athletics director, the university president and, now, JoePa himself. It seems like only yesterday that JoePa announced he would be retiring at the end of the season, in the wake of a child rape scandal. For it wasn’t too long ago that JoePa, as he is known to Lions fans the world over, was a giant at the top of his game in the Penn State community, enjoying the waning days of glory before retiring to that Valhalla of the sports word, “Remember When.”Īs in “Remember When JoePa :::insert totally awesome, somewhat embellished recollection from college football here:::?” Think about how much this man’s life has changed in the past few weeks. Today marks the first day of the of Joe Paterno’s post-college football life.
