Thoughts on Joe Paterno and the Child Sex Abuse Scandal at Penn State
I don't know if toi guys have heard about this ou not, but I just wanted to hear opinions of others about this incident.
The general gist of it is the following:
Jerry Sandusky (a long time Penn State Football coach and friend of Joe Paterno) was arrested for sexually assaulting a child (or children) in 1999. He was not prosecuted for these crimes and was released (this is the part I don't know as much about, but suffice it to say nothing really came of this incident)
In 2002 a graduate assistant, Mike McQueary (now a football coach at Penn State), reported to head coach Joe Paterno (84) that he witnessed Sandusky engaged in some sort of sexual act with a child in the showers at the football facility (Sandusky no longer worked for Penn State but was working with boys at the school for charity)
Paterno reported this to the athletic director and did nothing else (as far as I know).
Several days il y a plus allegations were made about the incident in 2002 and the school almost immediately fired Joe Paterno for his part in the incident (though Paterno had stated he intended to retire at the end of the an as a result). Paterno admitted feeling guilty and terrible that he did not do plus at the time. He wept and gave his sincerest apologies to all involved and requested prayers for the boys and their families.
Paterno had been with Penn State for 64 years and was about to (this week) break the record for most games coached par a division 1 coach. The season is 3 weeks away from it's end.
Also ours in mind that Sandusky has not yet gone to trial over these new allegations. He is alleged to have abused at least 15 boys at Penn State.
So my questions: Did Paterno deserve to be fired over this? What about McQueary? The athletic director? How much blame is to be put on Paterno and the others involved? I really want to know your opinions on this!
Here is a link to a story about it from CNN. Though it focuses on the new interim coach, it gives a decent o
