And having heard ill spoken of their blessed patron, Paterno the Winning, the congregants of the Cathedral of St. Joe af Pennsylvania rush to defend his sanctity.
I don’t give a flying flip who he reported it to; if they didn’t act, he should have kept talking till someone did act. This isn’t a small financial issue discovered by a low-level accountant at Penn State; this is rape of children and a man who was one of the most powerful and respected men in the state. He could have gone to Child Protective Services, he could have called the police, he could have contacted the press, but the old coward cared more about a game than he did about kids.
His death made me think one thing: I hope there’s a hell, so he can burn there.
And you are part of the problem. “They won those games!”
Who. Cares. The Penn State culture that treated a d*mn game as the greatest thing in the world enabled a world where “he won games” is an excuse for failing to protect children who were being raped.
Penn State and Paterno deserve to be shamed, for eternity. Never, never that pathetic coward’s name be mentioned again without a reminder of what he failed to do.
