re: Perfect Case in this Article for Why Joe Paterno should resign/be fired

Because he is the face of the program he is responsible. Hes the boss, and anything that goes on under him is his responsibility.



He's not the boss. Someone pays him. Someone can fire him. Someone is there to watch what he does. Just so happens they were corrupt as shite.

Alabama fans have an over-inflated perception of what a football coach is...they think he's Governor/Chancellor/God/Judge and Jury.

This creep wasn't on Paterno's staff in 2002.

Paterno could have done more but to act like whatever he says is the word of law in the State of Pennsylvania is asinine.

quote:

JP not being charged is huge for his defense, and I agree with that.


That doesn't mean what he did is right, and it doesn't mean he shouldn't be fired. All of the people defending him are getting hung up on that.

---

Yep, and that's our point here.

quote:

---

So you are saying JoPa is stupid and this could be his defense against claims he handled this information incorrectly?

---

I am saying you develop a sense of trust once you know someone for a long period of time.

And Ive said before that people keep laughing about, but I think Joe Pa's age does not have his brain as sharp as people are giving him credit for. He's not stupid, but as a senior citizen he may just not give a shite, truthfully. As bad as that seems.

quote:

---

Not what is happening. JoPa says he knew.

---

yeah, he knew. He found out at night, according to the report, and the next morning the Administrators were meeting in his office.

He didnt know it was ongoing, as people keep alluding to

quote:

---

when in actuality, you have no idea how involved or uninvolved JP was in this.

---

Hasn't he made a statement in which he discussed his involvement?

quote:

---

So you would me more mad at Joe Pa and not the actual people that witnessed these acts first hand?


Like I said, people are putting Joe Pa on a pedestal because of who he is.

---

what the frick kind of cop out is this?

He's guilty of a horrible coverup of a despicable act. He should be fired with no pomp and circumstance.

I DO NOT care that he passed the info to 'higher ups'. If you can honestly sit here and say that if someone beneath you came and told you that one of your assistants was anally raping a child in your bathroom and you would only then pass that info to your boss, then you're a sick human being imo.

How the frick do you hear something like that, and then continue to let that person come around your facility as much as he pleases? How does the sight of him not sicken you? This is so open and shut imo.

Also, McQueary? Something's up there. How the frick does he SEE this happen, and then realize that appropriate actions aren't being taken, and then CONTINUE to work there, where Sandusky is still allowed. That stinks to high heavens as well.

quote:

---

But you are acting like JoePa brought in Sandusky and was like "Jerry, dude...you gotta stop fricking the kids here..you're gonna get me in trouble," when in actuality, you have no idea how involved or uninvolved JP was in this.

---

No, Im acting like he knew about it and didnt do enough to stop it. The only thing he, or anyone else, could have done to be in the right here is call the cops. Plain and simple.

quote:

---

He knew and he chose to be quiet. Let go of the man's legend cause at the end of the day he is just a man who chose silence over action and now hides behind "I did it right".

Well I'm glad you know exactly what happened.

You should clearly go call the DA and let them know what you know...would save them an actual investigation. After all, it's your moral obligation.

---

Interesting you have an issue with my statement about Joe knowing yet it is OK for you to make the following?

quote:

---

I'm sure he's been doing that kinda shite for a long time, and it sucks that he used his position and access to bribe the kids (taking them to games, tailgates, buying them shite, etc.).

---

GTFO

quote:

---

Are you saying he may not have known? JoPa admitted he did know of the allegations.

---

I would hope he knew of the allegations...that's difficult to hide I imagine. But they were allegations. As I've said, JP is definitely to blame for some of this (I put him in the "Why the hell would you still let him come around" group). But people are acting like, and even saying specifically, that JP's actions were equal to Sandusky's, which is ridiculous IMO.

quote:

---

He's guilty of a horrible coverup of a despicable act. He should be fired with no pomp and circumstance.

---

It appears he is involved in the coverup, to what degree is unknown. What is known is he knew and took actions that led many to question whether he should be held accountable for that information.

quote:

---

No, Im acting like he knew about it and didnt do enough to stop it. The only thing he, or anyone else, could have done to be in the right here is call the cops. Plain and simple.

this is so clear cut to me that it makes my head spin.

I would expect the cops would have calls from everyone involved in this story minus Sandusky. If for nothing else, than to clear their conscience of it and get it out of their hands.

Joe Paterno gave Grand Jury testimony about this (that's serious stuff btw) and yes Sandusky is STILL allowed on campus. Ummm?
