Football Penn St ex-coach, others charged in child sex case

Wow I had no idea the GA, Mike McQueary, was the red head assistant that has been on Penn State's coaching staff for years. Absolutely sickening that he saw Sandusky assault a little boy and 1) continued to allow the guy around the program, and 2) continued to work at PSU despite the fact they turned a blind eye to a molester.

Disagree.

If I had a good job and saw some sick **** doing something...and then reported it to my superiors...and the superiors did nothing about it...I'd still be disgusted but I wouldn't necessarily walk out on my job. Especially if it was a good paying job.

If anything, McQueary is one of the good guys in this entire mess. He did more than anyone...it's not his fault his BOSSES squashed the entire thing. He told his dad, and then JOE PATERNO...after that, it's not really his call to do anything else.

What was he going to do? Call the police and turn it into a G.A. vs. Legend "he says, she says" battle?

He should have called the police immediately.

Absolutely, this isn't a judgement call situation where there might have been a misunderstanding. A GA sees a grown man humping a 10 year old is as clear cut case of nuthooks as it gets.

Yes. Though career suicide is something easier said than done.

I'll take the risk of career suicide every time over a lifetime of guilt due to not reporting something like this.

How many kids were victims because no one spoke up or went to police?

Yeah, I just can't buy being scared about your career as an excuse to not speak up in this situation. This is not something like scrubbing the numbers in the accounting department or talking crap about some fat chick in HR. This is serious, life-altering stuff.

I know it's crazy, but you're asking a lot of McQueary.

I've read plenty of Enron case studies. A lot of people know they're doing the wrong, hate that they're doing the wrong thing, but are you willing to throw away your entire future to blow the whistle? That's a lot to ask of a guy. It makes me sick too, but the decision is a hell of a lot harder than people think.

I'm a huge Joe Pa fan, but his situation is a little different. He's in a position of power. He owns that University. I hate that he made the completely wrong moral decision on this one.

You're pretty ****ing sick dude. All bets are off and reputations go out the window if I walk in and see some old ass dude violating a small child. Doesn't matter who they are, I'm calling the police after I pull myself together. Jesus man..

You're entitled to your opinion. So am I.

He's one of the good guys? Are you ****ing serious? Out of all the crap I've read on this board, your post would definitely be the dumbest ****ing thing I've read if you seriously believe this.
