Joe Paterno’s Sons Issue Statements After Urban Meyer New Hits
Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports
After the Urban Meyer news dropped on Wednesday, Penn State assistant Jay Paterno and his brother Scott made statements. We still don't know what Joe Paterno knew regarding the Jerry Sandusky situation at Penn State from years ago, but both of his sons say we shouldn't rush to judgment just yet with Meyer...
quote:

We should wait for facts. We should drive a stake in the ground to defend due process. We should shed our implicit bias against people we dislike being accused. We should have courage to stand against the virtual mob gathering for a virtual lynching before we know the facts.

And for those who need a refresher course: Published allegations do NOT automatically equal facts.
His brother Scott also chimed in...

He’s right about due process. After due process, it is factual that Joe Pa was a piece of shite.

I hope I never make a decision so bad that Joe Paterno's family feels the need to jump to my defense.

The right thing to say would have been... "See? we're not the only ones up here in the North that do this shite."

Ironically the facts have made it worse for Joe Pa.

While they are correct on due process must happen, it was proved from the very beginning that Joe Pa and the Penn St administration knew for years. In this case, while there is no doubt that Meyer and other coaches had to know, it just hasn't been proven without a shadow of a doubt yet.

This fricking guy. Not the same situation at all. Urban knew. Paterno also knew. He’s more concerned about his fathers legacy than kids being fricked in a shower by a grown man. Gtfo with this shit

I see the Paterno family is still in damage-control mode. But nobody's buying it.
