Is Paterno forgotten?

[Rob's al Ghul]

His name and #88 who use to play on the Colts names are never mentioned

This gentleman?

 

[PS5 Pro]

forgot that nikka existed till this thread..

But Real Talk, Paterno isn't and never was the problem. The university used him as the scapegoat.
Once his bosses learned of what was going on, its up to them to determine.
People are like Joe should of walked out on the university? He could have, but he wasn't part of any coverups I know that much. Just the university that still has football. I will root against Penn St. for the rest of my days because of that exact fact. That they guilty and tried to act like it was Joe

You can't be serious bruh. Lets do a quick recap.

Some other coach peeped Sandusky in the shower, dikk swangin
That coach runs to tell Paterno?
Paterno tells his bosses.
His bosses (The university) decides to cover it up. They didn't go to Joe and be like "Hey joe, how do you suggest we cover this up"
Joe didn't see what went down in the shower, he only heard. He was the football coach and nothing else
In wake of Joe Paterno's death and Sandusky sex abuse scandal, a power struggle spread from Penn State to state capital - ESPN

Once the shyt hit the fan, it was clear that not only did the University cover it up, but also the local police department. Thats how deep the coverup goes. Somehow when its all said and done, Sandusky is in jail and forgotten. All the blame gets shifted to JOE which is easy since he was bout to die soon anyway
Meanwhile, the school gets a fukking fine, a fine and the Football team continues with the only penalty being "Uh, you can't go to a bowl game"

Here we are years later, and you still looking at Paterno like if he orchestrated all this
The outrage goes in a pecking order. Sandusky, Then the University for there role. Then "maybe" Joe if you want to. He could of quit after that, left his life work behind, maybe would of got merked by the police who decided to cover it up. They wouldn't like somebody snitching like that, just saying the possible reasons for why. If I was him seriously? After I told my superiors I would of started drawing up some plays for the upcoming season because that is my job
But there is no outrage to Penn State. Its already forgotten. And they put the blame on the man who created that school basically. Peep this from the article which should be well known since its common sense imo..

The untold story, though, is about bare-knuckle Pennsylvania politics, old grudges and perceived slights. It involves a stagnated child sexual abuse investigation that, to some, took a backseat to higher-profile cases and a gubernatorial campaign. It involves a head football coach who knew too little and, still, failed to do enough. It includes a passive school board of trustees that for months ignored a lurking controversy and then, under pressure to preserve Penn State's reputation, quickly fired its legendary coach without ever talking with him.

fukk state penn and them hoes from Penn St

We are in a thread about Joe P being forgotten but you're making statements like:

and when exactly did the blame of sandusky raping children get shifted off of him? he has been rightfully vilified in every which way.

If I was him seriously? After I told my superiors I would of started drawing up some plays for the upcoming season

well then youre an idiot and morally deficient. this is the exact issue people have/had with paterno. not only did he pass the buck and largely turn a blind eye, he allowed sandusky to have access to his football facilities until the charges were dropped on him. that is fukking deplorable and something he absolutely had control over. hell, sandusky was allowed to hold children overnight camps at PSU after said incident.

i mean.. he made THIS statement after the story broke and his involvement was brought to light.

"The kids who were victims or whatever they want to say, I think we all ought to say a prayer for them. It's a tough life when people do certain things to you."

that is so fukking insensitive it hurts my head.




paterno, along with the 3 university authorities who were notified of child rape, allowed a child rapist to continue along his way, and continue to have access to their facilities.

not only that, but the report that was issued in regards to the child rape heavily inferred that paterno had swayed those said university authorities to NOT notify the police and sweep this under the rug. he clearly holds more blame than those authorities, he had more sway, power than any of them.

and no, the university was not just fined and forgotten about. the NCCA fined the PSU football program $60 million, issued a four-year ban from bowl games and vacated all of their history from 1998-2011. they also had 10 scholarships cut for the 2012 season and 20 scholarships for the following four years.

the stigma will never leave that university. so fukk outta here with that.

joe pa earned all the hate, criticism, etc., he has received.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Happy Valley wants the rest of the world to forget so that they can worship joe pa in peace. I'm sure that statue will be back up when they feel they can get away with it without too much criticism...

if you would just go back to drawing up plays, that says a lot about you as a human being. letting a man bring kids to the penn state facilities as recently as that summer before this even became known, after a whole decade + knowing him fukking with children since 1998 is disgusting. theres no debating otherwise. everyone from top to bottom who knew anything about this is a piece of shyt who deserve blame. if this was any other coach everyone would call for them to be fired, but because this guy won a ton of games he gets held in a different light? you cant even use the argument that he no pull in that community, he was penn state, he could do whatever he wanted, but instead of outing a man who was accused of molesting a boy and having that piece of shyt thrown in jail, dude covered for him. he was selfish and only gave a fukk about his own legacy. even though if he did have him put away it would only help support that he was a man who cared about more than just winning and losing, like he tried to portray for so many years.

the biggest decision of his life and he dropped the ball. him along with every other person in the university/police is the lowest form of life on earth. because of selfishness, more kids innocence was taken away and will probably do what was done to them down the line. they'll never be the same again.

the argument of "He told his higher ups, he did his job. what else do you want him to do?"

how about going over their heads as opposed to still seeing that piece of shyt everyday for the next 15 years? why didnt he? because he doesnt give a shyt about anyone but himself. the idol worship in this country is just sad. even with something that should be clear cut as kids being fukked in the ass, there are still people making excuses for him. i dont know if there is an afterlife or none of that but if there is, hes there.

this dude seriously just said if child rape in his football locker rooms was being reported(by a man you already know to be a predator)he would tell his higher ups and just keep it moving.

let that soak in and marinate brehs.

we either have a man that would harbor a child rapist or someone that trolls message boards about child rape.

And I grew up as a Penn State fan. I'm not oblivious about what happened though.


fukk it, I'm still rooting for the Nittany Lions and for them to give Michigan that work this season

Well let me give you my position and you tell me if I'm off...

My previous comment about "drawing up a play" I knew you guys would take that comment and run with it
I didn't mean anytime from that point forward if you asked about the case, I'd be like "sorry, gotta draw up a play!!!"
In hindsight, you guys got all the answers. So much so that you not even being realistic to how everything initially went down.

Once again, Joe isn't the police, he isn't an administrator. He's JUST A FOOTBALL COACH.
His job isn't to get to the bottom of something like that, thats what the school does. How many cases of rape happen on college campuses on a daily basis probably? You think the HC of a football team at any school is in charge of how those cases are handled? So they why is Joe Pa all of a sudden thrown into this equation?
Because he was told? What was he told? The guy who seen it didn't clearly say "Sandusky had some lil nikka bent over and red rover came over"
It was something more to the affect of "it didn't look appropriate" or some shyt like that. JOE then went thru the proper channels by actually reporting it. He didn't sit on it, he did what he was supposed to do at that point.
Whats he supposed to do next, stand in the Deans office and be like "OK, how are WE gonna handle this"
What did he do at that exact moment, can you tell me? Did the school who is the main ones coverinig it up and then pushing the blame on JOE. You think they didn't tell him "thank you, we'll handle this" or you think they was like "Joe, we gonna cover this up. Don't say ANYTHING"

You gotta remember, at this point and time Joe didn't know for sure who was right/wrong. If what dude seen really happened or maybe he's lying? All these things are possible, its not Joe's Job to do anything more than what he did. From that point on, the U waited? Ok, I'm not really an expert on this case anymore. But If I recall, eventually they did talk with the Police and the Police HELPED in covering it up.

Was JOE aware of this, was he sure he was guilty and the U covered it up or did they do a "bullshyt" investigation and found Sandusky not guilty from there "bunk" findings? If that was the case, Joe should of been drawing up plays until more came to light. Once shyt got out like it did, more allegations/etc. What I clearly saw at the time was the University was looking for a scapegoat. They fired Joe because THEY DIDN"T DO THERE JOBS which = bullshyt. If they fired him for covering it up? Ok, Thats never been the story by anyone. Just doing that moves attention away from the University. His reply you wrote "the victims or whatever you wanna say" sounds like an 85yr old man in the middle of a shyt storm that he didn't have anything to do with. Thats what I saw. I don't believe Joe was pro Sandusky, I feel that info was purposely left the way it was so they could "attempt" to shift blame. Is there proof Joe knew for sure Sandusky was guilty before all this blew up? If so, ok. If not, Ok again.

Thank you all for coming out, God bless you, Good night

Your a piece of shyt man ... Don't you have kids ??? I hope your trolling or if not you deserve a spot next to paterno in hell . He was the real leader of that school that's why the nicca didn't retire when they want him too. And they had prior allegations against Sandusky too !you think he mysteriously went from his successor to the bushes for no reason ?
Paterno made his name being some super moral coach who didn't do the same things other schools did and held everyone responsible for themselves . Would he have been ok with doing the bare minimum if it was his grandchildren involved in the incident ?

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

I don't know what to say to you guys. I loved Penn State growing up my entire life and I still do. My dad is an alum and now I'm an alum. And there's tons of stories like this all over PA and the east coast. Joe Pa was the coach for my entire life. These feelings don't die hard.

I still remember Kerry Collins, Kijana-Carter and Kyle Brady destroying shyt when I was a little kid.
