It's done. The legacy is over. It's a black eye on sports. Protecting this one will be orders of magnitude worse than the way Wooden has been protected.
agreed.

agreed.

For the GA, this is probably his dream job. He was a QB at Penn State, he probably worked extremely hard since he was 14 to be a QB and eventually a coach at Penn State. As messed up as it may be, your first instinct when you see something that shocks you that much is to look out for yourself. If he physically confronts Sandusky in the shower, he is guilty of physical abuse against a 60 year old man and a legend of the program. Who knows if the kid will testify, and it becomes your word against his.
i see what you're saying, and while some could be that calculating in that spot, others would just react, and at minimum say enough to make it stop, and probably go crush the 60 year old's skull onto the shower floor.
i've been reading this thread since last night, and i have goosebumps at how pissed i am. i am very close to my friend's almost-10-year-old son, so i'm obviously envisioning him in all this.
this is probably the most despicable thing i've ever read. the coverup is bad, but people saying that it's worse than the crime are insane. this guy strategically put himself into a position where he could anally rape 10 year old boys.
then, when it came out, the university not only ignored it, but ALLOWED IT TO CONTINUE.
i don't know what's going to happen, but if everyone involved were shot and killed in front of me, i would spit on their corpses.
dan lebatard made a couple good points though...if someone comes to you with sketchy/choppy info that your best friend of 25 years raped a boy, basically the worst crime imaginable, and your best friend adamantly denied it, what do you do? because going to the cops in that spot, you HAVE to be sure.
then about an hour ago, i began taking my rage out on a co-worker who is a psu fan. he's basically shrugging it off on some 'yeah that's old news', and even left an 'lol' after a text about how psu let the kid go on a bowl trip after they knew..i'm seeing red right now. the .pdf is some DAMNING stuff. even if you don't want to out your best friend, you KNOW he's being accused of raping young boys and CONSTANTLY HAS YOUNG BOYS AROUND.
i hope everyone involved burns. in a ****ing hot grease fire.
