This just doesnt feel right...

You should work for ESPN. You're pretty good at sensationalizing. Expecting people to feel sorry for JoePa at this point is pretty stupid. If the whole world were against me because I failed to go to the police after learning of an employee raping a 10 year old boy, I wouldn't be expecting compassion.

Even if you expected it you would deserve none.
 
Yes, probably should. I was commenting on the topic of this thread. The children have my compassion and the compassion of millions of others ...plus the millions of dollars they will receive in the impending lawsuits. Go get the pitch forks murder is in the air.
 
I guarantee you would, but lie to yourself I guess.

Right. But then again, if I were stupid enough to turn a blind eye to a child molester, I suppose I might be stupid enough to expect people to feel sorry for me for getting my a** kicked to the curb. He's getting what he deserves. I'm not going to feel sorry for him over that.

Oh for the love of God. Just because we don't feel any pity for him doesn't mean we want someone to kill him. Seriously, get a grip on yourself or gtfo.
 
Bash me all you want, and im expecting it, but i truely feel that JoePa does not deserve this and that he should coach on saturday. Joe is not the criminal here but many are treating him like he is, and the real criminal is being lost in all this. Im afraid this will be to much for Joe and will break his heart.
this just isnt right for a man like him, id be out there with all the students right now if i could.

Part of me understands this statement. The parent in me also knows that this is horrible. Unfortunately, PSU knows that Joe Pa had knowledge of a crime. Didn't take proper action so he must go. It's really that easy. I understand he is not the criminal, but his judgement or lack there of put the university in a very bad position where they had to seperate his name from the program due to the fact he is going to be brought up several times as the trial goes on. I am saddened that a coach that has done so much for a sport I love ends a very good career this way. I've now read the indictment and it does make it difficult not to agree with this decision. I wish Jo Pa had gone to authorities instead. I too feel bad in a way that this whole thing has really lost sight on the fact that some serious crimes took place involving defenseless children. Very ugly. I feel sick as I watch this unfold and honestly think PSU has made the right choice.

Holy cow, I couldn't have said it better. Joe Pa has been gone for a long time.

That would have been a good idea. Child molestation gets under people's skins a helluva lot more than just about anything else in this world.

Hardened criminals in prison have no love for pedophiles. Sandusky should probably just off himself, and save himself the pain those inmates will inflict on him. Here's hoping he does not take that route. He needs to be on suicide watch at all times. I would hate for him to miss all the fun.

Ok I will show compassion and if any of you are ever in a situation where the whole world is against you .....and compassion is craved then I wouldn't expect it. Just go outside and get your pitchforks ready because I see from your posts murder is all you crave so go kill them all.

You two are

1) young
2) not in management
3) not experienced in the ways of life
4) not serious
5) all of the above

Joe Paterno failed his program and his university terribly by the way he handled the initial reports. Worse, he failed to aggressively look into a report of a child rape in his facilities and possibly prevent the victimization of other young children.

He deserved to be fired. He will be fortunate if that is the worst consequence of his inaction and apparent attempt to cover up to protect his program.

Instead of making dumb posts, sit back and see what life lessons you might learn from this.
 
By not notifying the police, he aided in the rape of these children. He will be lucky if he isn't prosecuted himself.

True but HE did what was required by his JOB to do...sure morally it sucked, but really there is nothing the police can do about it. Really once he told the AD it was in the AD's hands to handle it.

However after all he has done for the university, the way he was told he was fired was kind of a joke IMHO.

It was a joke, but people that are a joke get treated like a joke.

This actually feels totally right, McQueer and Joe Pa knew about this from the beginning and failed to protect the university, themselves, and ultimately the kids who were left to no protection. I believe this was the right step and anyone who doesn't is not seeing the full scope here. The guy flat out allowed a pedophile on the campus as late as last WEEK!?!?! Are you kidding me? Berg you have been so wrong on this whole subject this entire week, just go away. No one should sympathize with Joe Paterno or anyone else they tie to this case. Sandusky raped little kids on University property and people know about it and didn't report it outside the program. Try to defend them some more and you'll keep getting the same responses *******.
