Question for those supporting the Death Penalty for Penn State
Posted on 7/12/12 at 3:28 pm

Do you think the Catholic Church should have been shut down? Or at least just the parrishes where kids were abused? If not why not?
Why is it not good enough to just punish Sandusky and his enablers? No kids will be saved or protected in Penn State FB is shut down and a lot of people not even associated with Penn State (like other B1G teams for starters) will get screwed. Along with athletes at Penn State that clearly had nothing to do anything.

are the cathloic churchs where this happened part of a voluntary membership organization which can dole out such punishments as they see fit...like the NCAA can?
No, they aren't. But thanks for a bad analogy.

I don't think the NCAA has authority over the Catholic Church. You're thinking of the NAACP.

Who would shut them down? There's no NCAA type of association with the catholic church that I know of.
I'm catholic (well grew up catholic and still go to church at Christmas) but wouldn't be too bothered if they had shut some parishes but wouldn't it have to be the catholic church shutting them down not some other entity?

I'm not in favor of the Death Penalty for PSU but... considering even the present Pope may have been involved with the child molestation scandal I can see arguing that the Catholic Church should be viewed as at least as culpable in their scandal as PSU was in the Sandusky scandal.

Shutting down Penn State football will benefit no one other than media members like Nancy grace who feed on publicity over terrible situations like this. All football operations personel that served during the scandal have been removed. Penn st needs to move on the best they can and start over.

See people are so stupid. This was one man who was a former coach who was a sick pervert. That's 90% of it there. If he wasn't a former coach, and was a former security guard at the stadium or concessions clerk or some shite, this never would have come up.
This has nothing to do with the Athletic Department anymore. They Penn State athletic department (current coaches, players, personnel) didn't touch these boys. They didn't cover it up. Buncha damn idiots want to punish the whole school, student body, and community because of the action of a 10 or so individuals. Idiots.

This. People keep digging for a scandal just so they can keep overdramatizing it. I mean seriously. All the parties involved with this case are either going to jail, dead, or out of their position. Leave well enough alone and start focusing on the real problems in the world.

You couldn't be more wrong. I can assure you, PSU Board will be overlooking every action with a microscope, to the point of being a distraction now to ensure their good name is restored.

To use the correct analogy, the Catholic Church would act as the NCAA on individual churches. Yes, the Catholic Church should have punished the individual churches that allowed this behavior. The effect would be the same. The players, coaches, admins, would find other places to play and work and the people who attend church would find another church to attend. Religion and football do not end with closure of one facility, it just goes in a different direction.
The NCAA MUST DO SOMETHING. They will lose a lot of credibility if they do not. You can not punish a program if a coach decides to ignore a player receiving illegal benefits if you do not punish a program that allowed a culture of child molestation to take place in the football facilities of the university.

Fine them $10,000,000.

Lol you think that the PSU Board of Trustees, President, Athletic Director and Joe Paterno were encouraging Sandusky to use the football facilities of to molest boys? Damn you are stupid. Hell even if they did, that's not what the NCAA governs.
They govern the rules of play and player conduct for sports. A former coach molesting young boys is not now nor has it ever been in their jurisdiction. They have no card to play here. It's a legal matter outside of their control as well it should be.
Seriously, learn something before you make an arse out of yourself with your teenage emotional reaction.

So then how do you feel about current NCAA punishments for schools who have players/coaches that commit violations? Are you outraged that guys who didn't participate in cheating at those schools are punished with post-season bans and etc?

They don't like these questions, by the way. Gets in the way of the bloodlust.

I know I am. And I know that H-Town and I discussed this with another group of posters in an earlier PSU thread.
