    by those continuing to define and sensationalize their narrative" :fp:

    Why did they need that last part? :fp: That's the indication of where their heads are really at. It's still about them (the Letterman/Penn State/etc. - it's being sensationalized!!! The blood thirsty punishers are the bad people! They've forgotten what it's about!!!! Deflect. Deflect. Deflect.). Nothing's being overshadowed. Nothing's being forgotten. They don't need to worry their little brains about that. It's sort of like wanting Sandusky put away forever. That doesn't change the children's stories. They are so myopic. They and the Paterno family should learn to just shut up.

    You don't get additional creedance because of your (obvious) opening stanza. The rest of their diatribe still reflects what they think.

    Man, they took down the wall behind where JP's statue stood. I gather this will be a NEW beginning for this school.

    Good for Penn State. Maybe, now the apologists will start to get the message. This isn't about them.

    I'm starting to think the cult-like culture in Creepy valley will never change. It's really good to see the Penn State Letterman support child rape.

    Did you miss this part of the article?

    "On behalf of the Penn State Football Letterman’s Club, our thoughts and prayers continue for the victims and their families in the heinous criminal acts of Jerry Sandusky, Joe Paterno and any others that contributed to the cover up. Their lives have been negatively impacted forever and it is important that their stories are not overshadowed by those continuing to define and sensationalize their narrative"


    Didn't read the whole article, but I'm sure it's got some idiotic stuff in it, but add the bolded part to this quote and that would be acceptable. Too many(1 or more) PSU defenders are trying to sweep what Paterno didn't do under the rug. Fact of the matter is, if Paterno said "let's fucking hang this creep" in 1998, nobody else gets molested on his watch. Simply put, he didn't, so as the head honcho/God in those parts the blood is on his hands.

    Let's face it, there's no punishment to fit the crime of raping kids, and I think it would be pretty hard to figure out a good one for a person that enables that. However the legal system, the NCAA, or some vigilante decide to punish those involved in any way is probably not enough.

    Kids had major advantage taken of them and people are seriously complaining about wins and losses. I just can't believe that.

    Heard someone with their heart in the right place say they should keep the statue as a reminder of all this sick shit. I say they should've kept the empty space as it stood without the statues.

    DewieCox,

    Read the article. It will take a whole 2 minutes at most. Show me where they support child rape. Show me where they support Joe Paterno.

    You don't have to support child rape to make idiotic statements like this. Maybe no lettermen knew what was going on, but that still doesn't mean they were "doing it the right way". After all that has come out, I think a reasonable person would say they were doing it any way but right.

    This is fucking mind boggling. How the hell were the Letterman not doing things the right way? Sure a fight here of there, one sexual assult accusation but as they pointed out, they have some of the highest academic standards in football. The Letterman are speaking for the Letterman, NO ONE ELSE. What is so hard to get about that? Adminstrators did nothing the right way, the players almost always have. None (Edit: Or one) of them were involved in this scandal. Fuck.

    Edit: And just point out, the whole point of this was that they don't want their names being dragged through the mud for the actions of others. Especially considering that academics were cited in Emmert's comments.

    Good for them, sorry about their luck playing for a scum bag. They come off worse and worse every time one of them comes out complaining about vacated wins and other meaningless crap. How else are the lettermen really being punished? They're not having they're diplomas taken away, they still have all those great memories of playing football. I would think there would be more lettermen in the 98-2011 era come out disappointed that they were any part of such a farce.

    This is from a player's perspective. What exactly did the crime and coverup have to do with the players?
    Did I miss something? Is everyone saying all the active players for 14 years knew what was going on?

    I'm sure the PSU players conducted themselves like players at any other college.

    This statement was mostly in response to the academic comments Emmert made. Of course they are all disappointed and embarrassed, everyone with an ounce of a connection to the University is. But it is also okay to be disgusted with the actions of others but proud of what you acheived and wanting to be recognized for that.

    They were recruited and played for people that were at the center of the coverup. I agree, it's an awful stroke of luck for them but it is what it is. They only hurt their cause by taking the stand they're taking. They shouldn't be directing their anger at anybody but the perpetrators of these heinous crimes.

    Don't think you did. I don't think anybody is saying anything about any players knowing what was going on. I have my doubts about that too, but til those facts come out I can't really condemn them.

    I don't think people are gonna forget what the players did on the field. They might not have the hardware or titles, but fans and players alike are always gonna remember what went down on the field and the feeling of triumph or heartbreak that goes with it.

    Also - Anyone who heard about Sandusky abusing a child and didn't immediately call the police is a cowardly piece of shit.

    I wonder if the West Baptist Church will protest Penn State football games saying "God Hates Child Molesters"

    Or does that too appropriate for them to do?

    Right here is why I hope the football program never recovers. For the sane fans who understand that this is the punishment for your universities crime and you deal with it, I do feel bad for you, cause you actually understand there are things bigger than football. To this fn moron and those like him, enjoy watching your greater than anything football team suck ass!
