    He made a mistake recently, but did so much good for so many people. This is a sad day for sure.

    Yeah, his good FAR outweighed the bs that just happened recently. Jopa did soooo much good for the university and had a huge positive impact on many adults and students lives. Sad :cry:

    I mean you are joking right? He let kids get molested. I don't care how many games he won. I don't care how many dollars he gave to Penn State. I don't care how many football players say he was a great man to them. HE LET KIDS GET RAPED IN THE SHOWERS OF HIS OWN ATHLETIC BUILDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there. There's not much more than this (Live at Garden)

    :clap:

    I'm going back and forth with my FB friends about this and I am disgusted by the celebration of this man. They wouldn't be saying the same thing if it happened to them or someone they know.

    Have some respect. This guy didn't rape or molest any kids. His good FAR outweighed the one blemish on his record, believe me. Its sad that someone like jopa can give more to an institution than most people but d bags wil use anything to tarnish someone's great legacy.

    I agree.

    Yeah, he stood over Sandusky and LET him rape boys, right?! :roll:

    This isn't the day to falsely accuse a coach of rape when he had nothing to do with that act.

    Jopa helped hundreds of people by doing so much good and I'm thankful for him. It's amazing how you people rag on him for 1 thing that you think he did wrong(and that's questionable because he did go to authorities).

    There is no way you can't look at Paterno as a legend and a huge difference maker in many young adults lives.

    What he DIDN'T do also made a huge difference.

    He had no problem interfering to get his players out of trouble, he could have/should have had an investigation started immediately. He didn't.

    You hear a child is being assaulted, call the fucking cops.

    The point is that this is not the day for people to bash a legend, that's all.

    I'm not bashing.

    However I don't think (due to his action) he was a man to be honoured.

    Well I do and so do many others on this day. Can you respect others that are close to the psu community?

    I'm sure people will be upset when this current pope dies. Again, the man deserves no respect for his role in the coverup.

    So. Those who honor thy gospel according to football, honor Paterno on this day, RIP.

    However, those who honor honesty and ethics, well, they're not honoring Paterno.

    I will never understand how much of a religion sports is to people over how we should treat each other, especially children.

    I guess you don't know who Joe Paterno is, do you? I'm not going to get into a back and forth but please do some research and you will see what makes Joe Paterno a great man. It's more than sports. It's all the good things he has done for so many over the years. This far outweighs the bad(even tho he fulfilled his responsibility by reportung the abuse).

    Sorry, no it doesn't. He could have gone to the police, but chose not to. Going to the school authorities does not make him a hero.
