Your comparing blowing the whistle on financial improprieties to blowing the whistle on a child molester? |
It'll never happen but everyone involved who knew this and didn't report this should be arrested Joe Pa included.

At first, I just thought Paterno acted wholly inappropriately given that he had to know what was going on; however, reading McCreary's grand jury testimony, it certainly appears in fact Paterno perjured himself if Paterno told the grand jury what he claims he did.
Prediction: He won't make it to Saturday as head coach. |

I know it's easy for us to stand on a soap box from afar and judge the guy. Personally, I think it took a lot of courage to say anything at all. Again, it's despicable that the PSU administration sat on it. And it's despicable that JoePa, a guy in a position of power, didn't do anything about it. You're asking a lot of McQueary. He pulls Sandusky away, and everything he's worked his entire life for is taken away from him. His entire life. |

What a kick ass decision by "one of the good guys" |

There is so much wrong that happened in this mess its mind boggling. How it took this long to come out is shameful and disgusting.
Lots of jail time should be handed out to many people. |

Scary shit. Being afraid to turn on authority is human nature. I'd like to believe I'd act differently, but it's easy to say that from the sidelines. Let me ask you this. If you studied to be a lawyer. You spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on tuition, education, etc... Spent endless nights cramming for the bar. You land a great job. You work your ass off and finally earn some respect. You catch one of the partners doing something wildly inappropriate. This partner's a powerful guy. If you say a word about it, you not only lose your job, he can find a way to get you dis-barred, and he'll make sure to let everyone he knows to make sure you never get a decent job ever again. You've got a family and kids. You've got 30 years ahead of you. Now we're no longer talking about losing $100,000 a year, we're talking about losing $3 Million (over 30 years). I'm a pretty ethical guy. But I believe if I saw a guy murdering someone on the street, my first reaction would be absolute fear. For my own life. I hate that that's the case, but I'm trying to be realistic. I think grilling a young, impressionable kid for not turning in probably the 2nd most powerful guy not just on the team, but even on campus... that's not as easy as we make it out to be from the sidelines. |
I'm not sure which is more ridiculous.
You trying to defend McQueary, or thinking the guy would be blackballed from college football or any other job because he turned in a child molester. |

His career will likely suffer a lot more now than if he had reported it and stopped it. I'm sure he would have had trouble at job interviews "I'm the guy that was fired because I reported the coordinator was molesting children in the team shower. I'm sure you don't want someone like me on your team and that you'd prefer Joe Po and the rest of the staff that turned a blind eye to such a thing." |
