The kid basically came off to me as taking the fact that nobody was explicitly like "Oh **** if this gets out JoePa might look like ****, better bury it who's in?" coupling that with the most generous reading of every conceivable piece of wiggle room regarding every bit of testimony or piece of evidence and extrapolating them both to a conclusion that is just not supported if you take a step back and are just like "what the ****?" from a wider view.

For example the part where he was like "the '98 incident was reported to child services this is the worst coverup ever"' then proceeds to link to documents that show that PSU administrators knew about Sandusky being questioned around then. The DA declines to prosecute and PSU lets him coach two more seasons before Paterno declined to name Sandusky his successor leading to his retirement, but still giving him emeritus status and access to facilities. At the very least here you have local authorities being negligent and PSU playing with massive, massive fire going forward. They knew that Sandusky was accused of showering with children on campus. This author views that as everyone doing their job. No coverup here, everyone told someone, what's the problem?

Then of course you get into McQueary, obviously a PSU employee, witnessing sexual contact in a shower and deciding to go to his father and then Paterno instead of straight to the cops. He is addressed here:

On one hand he's like "well the dude's testimony is all over the place" then later being like "well he played in the dude's golf tournaments" with the implication being...what exactly? That a PSU employee didn't mind playing golf around somebody he saw raping a kid? He exaggerated the whole thing? Who knows. The little bit about not being graphic in his description to Paterno is just the icing on the cake, like not telling the old man that he saw his ex-longtime coach butt-raping a kid explicitly washes his hands of any follow-up questions. And this is the man that McQueary went to instead of the police.

That's exactly what these cultists do. They have a severe case of cognitive dissonance with the entire situation. So what they do is create gray areas where there are no gray areas and attempt to live in those areas rather than live in reality where Paterno is a POS and PSU institutionalized child abuse. By doing this, they can reconcile these contradictory thoughts and continue living without any moral dilemmas.

Olbermann did another World's Worst in Sports. Once again, PSU is the worst.



FF to 2:31

Get em

Brutal.

Olberman GOATing

That was great. Is there anyone else in the mainstream who brings as much heat on psu?

Interesting similarities in the "Why would you want to say something that upsets the crazies?" argument - between PSU apologists and Islamic extremism apologists.

That was awesome.

I note two things when watching the initial reactions to the announcement of the penalties.



First off, they were sad when it was announced that money was going to help victims of future child abuse victims. Oh gn0es, a university with an endowment of $3 billion is forced to give $60 million to people less fortunate than they are. How shocking.

Next is that the biggest negative response to the penalty came when the wins were vacated. The limited interviews they have show students focusing on that point and contending that it was unfair. They said nothing about any other penalties or that money was being donated to help others. This goes to show the cultist obsession with Paterno that still exists despite the method in which he washed his hands of child abuse occurring within the Penn State football program.

This is what happened when the bowl ban was lifted:



Personally, I can't bare to watch these animals celebrate. Perhaps somebody can give me cliffs of anything notable there.

Then, this happened when Paterno's wins were restored:



The irony of singing the Alma Mater is so thick you can cut it with knife due to this verse:

May no act of ours bring shame,
To one heart that loves thy name.
May our lives but swell thy fame,
Dear old State, dear old State.

Clearly there isn't a shameful act in the world that cannot be rationalized, denied or ignored by the student and alumni body. ****, it says so in the goddamn Alma Mater.

This man seems to be the only major sports media figure with the balls to say what most rational people know to be true. He hammers PSU hard on the 16th and 19th.





KO, you got a new fan!

But you know, I think to myself: How would I have responded if I was still a student there? I think I would have felt the same way, but be less outspoken about it than I am now as I wouldn't want to face such extreme student backlash.

I didn't buy into the cult much like the others. This is mostly due to the fact that I was not born in PA and did not grow up with PSU football like other students and alums. I have no memories of any PSU games before I entered college. My father only watched Notre Dame games and he wasn't hardcore about it. Like me, he was more into NFL football than NCAA.

Anyway, I went to a few games as a freshman and sold the remainder of my tickets for that season. It was too cold and loud for my tastes. HD + heating + friends >>>>> Uncomfortable seat + bone cold weather + drunken strangers imo. I thought Paterno was a **** coach during my time there and was more of a recruiting figurehead than an actual coach. He and his staff refused to change their conservative offense to adjust to the times and quarterbacks avoided Penn State like the plague as a result. I was hoping that he would either be fired or step down but kept going for nearly a decade more.

So yeah, I watched in college but I wasn't bummed out when PSU lost. I mean when they did lose (especially big games), the atmosphere of the campus changed dramatically. At times, it felt like Sunday was a day of mourning for the "tragedy" that occurred on Saturday. It's amazing how much value was put into something that in the grand scheme of things means ****ing nothing. The world doesn't hinge on whether or not your favorite team wins or loses.

But at Penn State, it does because they live in their own little world where football is paramount. They have resisted and will continue to resist any attempt to shatter that perspective regardless of all convincing and compelling evidence thrown in front of them. If Joe Paterno was the one who raped the kids, I am absolutely certain that the cultists would find a way to exonerate him in their minds. They would claim it was a rectal exam or that the kid sat on it or something ridiculous like that. There is no limit to what these people will do to keep reality away from them.

I'm grateful to have flushed out anybody who disagrees with my stance out of my life. They are dead to me. I will never be able to fully detach myself from my university, but I certainly won't go too far out of my way to tell people where I went to college despite the positive experiences I had while I was there.

Lmfao @ The cult saying Joe Pa was just giving the kid rectal exams. That would have been so awesome to hear.

SUB, I bet there's a very very silent minority still at PSU who feel the same way but only talk about it behind closed doors.

Remember, these are people from Pennsylvania. PENNSYLVANIA! Truly a hell-hole.

If I was part of that student minority, I sure as **** would stay silent.

No. KO is the only person I see rightfully tearing them a new one.

Wasn't a huge fan of KO, but he's definitely gotten on my good side.

Super, there just college kids in that video first being dissappointed at their college experience being diminished, then happy they get what they expected back. Not much more than that, most college kids at any college would feel and react the same way.

businessdude be trollin'

One could argue their college experience was diminished when they found out their school had covered up for a pedophile.

"Joe Pa wasn't raping the children. He was just giving them early prostate exams. He potentially saved some of these little boys lives."

That was hot fire. Olberman is a boss.

+1 for KO

Yeah, I'd be a billion times more pissed that my school had become synonymous with pedophilia than I would be about some vacated football wins.

Just my imagination- but it sucks JoePa didn't use his stature to obliterate Sandusky. The majority of the time you have evidence someone is committing crime you send it through the judicial system. But in JoePa's case he could have put Sandusky right in the middle of town and humiliated him in front of his entire cult following.

He does this he becomes a god across America. Instead he's forever beneath being used as a South Park character.

There's an episode with him in it? Which one?
