Penn State sanctioned for the child molestation incidents.

That this creep had the audacity to do this in the locker room makes it seems like he had cart blanche around there. Just a disgusting human being with no remorse....sick

When you put it that way; it starts making more sense to me! Thanks! :thumbup:

Well folks here's the right answer:

While it is true that there was one perp and a few enablers who chose to look the other way.
It was who those enablers were.



JoePa had so much power at Penn State he could have gotten anything he wanted.
If JoePa said he wanted all the buildings painted Fresca Pink they would have been painted.
He could have cancelled Sandusky's contract at any time.
He didn't.
He wanted to keep his well oiled win machine cooking along.

All this point to problems in the culture of the institution.
It was okay because Penn State had a winning team & coach.

The problems were institutional.
The only way an institutional problem can be addressed is by finding a way to correct the wrong thinking the pervades the culture.
Fines and sanctions will do that.

I applaud the actions of the NCAA.
It sometimes takes tough & bitter medicine to make an institution healthy.

One thing I don't understand is why no one is talking about what mccreary did. yes he did report it to Joe Pa but when nothing happened after that what did he do. NOTHING. Why is he not also being crucified over this. If he had gone to the police when this happened think of the number of kids tha would not of had to go through what they did.

I'd like to suggest that you reach your own decisions after you read the Freeh Report. I'm working my way through it now, and it's very lacking in facts that point the finger at Paterno, although other members of the administration are most definitely in a bad light.

Penn State

:agree:

I just can't believe no one informed the police about it when they found out..... They could have gotten the whole mess taken care of back then (including firing Sandusky) and been done with it!

Back in 1998 a boy went to his mother and told her thar sandusky molested him. She went to the police and they claim it never happened. Our governor knew about this because he was attorney general at the time. That is when they should have been investaged. I am not saying that what they did was right. But if they checked further, they would have stopped. Instead they swept it under the rug.

Almost. Actually, following a police investigation it was turned over to the DA (since disappeared and declared dead) who said there was no case and refused to prosecute.

My apologies! I must admit, I haven't paid that much attention to the whole mess... pps:pps: I applaud mom for going to the police. I think if it was my kid, I would have gone to the media IMMEDIATELY after the police (or whomever) dropped it.

I was actually referring to the person that caught Sandusky in the act. Did he report it to the police? If not, I hope the guy has had trouble sleeping at night!!! I can't fathom keeping something like that from the police and not having my conscience eating away at me!!

The whole thing is sick and I hope the law now goes after each and every person that knew about it and did nothing!!! Dirtbags!!!!!

We might even get Fly to agree to shoot this guy.

Actually....I don't agree to this! I think he's right where he should be, caged up, living in total fear of every shadow, noise, whisper....knowing full well that it's coming for him, just no idea when, where or how much it'll hurt before it's over.


The Jailhouse Justice system will resolve this issue....it's just a matter of time! :lecturef_smilie:
