Penn State vs. The World
As I sit glued to my couch, watching the media coverage of the Penn State scandal, multiple things have become very clear to me. But before I begin my rambling bullet statements, I must let you all know that Joe Paterno is the second favorite white person in my household behind White Jesus. Both of my dad’s brothers graduated from PSU. I have family members in the school now, and I myself nearly went to study party at University Park.
Paterno should have looked into the case further. Penn State should’ve removed the molester in question from campus permanently. But what bothers me the most about this situation is
- Paterno is not the monster here. Jerry Sandusky is the monster. Jerry Sandusky molested little boys.
- Mike McQueary is also not getting enough of the media assualt. You watched a grown man molest a small child….and didn’t physically stop the situation? What!?
- Damn you Penn State. The fan jokes against us are about to get real.
- The NCAA is basically saying, “Hey coaches, molest little kids…but if you buy one of your athletes some throwback jerseys, you have to give up every win in the last ten years!”
At the end of the day, I agree that Paterno should probably step down sooner than later, and that he could’ve definitely done more when the issue was brought to him. But to place all of this blame on him is crazy. CRAZY!
