If you weren't questioning the sanity of the cult before you could start now:



Edit: Paywalled, but you'll get the gist.

Bo knew

Wrong thread, pedofan

I mean no one actually cheers for Pedo St anymore do they?

Lots

bdidd you cant be real.

I think he's just 'kid'ding

I definitely rooted for the basketball team this year but after this latest debacle with the football team, I told myself I was done with them for awhile. But yes, I've justified my fandom for years now. Judge me.

Stull have a 2 outs that covid wipes out this entire community.

Yeah, well I hope you die from it too!

I didn't know anything about the Dr. Robert Anderson/University of Michigan rape scandal until watching HBO's Real Sports segment earlier today. Now I just saw a news headline that Bo Schembechler's campus status has been vandalized (it has been credibly alleged that Bo knew). UM's president won't even meet with a victimized former UM football player from the 70s who has been living in a tent across his front lawn for months now seeking an audience.

Over a 1,000 former student-athletes have come forward saying they were raped by Dr. Anderson. There's a current associate AD who was a trainer I believe in the 70s and 80s who used to laugh at players when they were sent to see Dr. Anderson joking that they would be bending over and dropping their pants soon.

People say PSU's program needs to be "nuked from space". Where is the outcry to nuke UM's program from space? We hear cries of "Joe knew". Where are the cries that "Bo knew"?

Ohio State has a horrible, shameful scandal of their own as well. It’s pretty incredible that most lose that sense of righteous indignation when them chickens come home to roost. It’s basically been crickets.

"Several other schools in the conference are also pedophile-enablers" is an interesting line of defense.

I'm pretty impressed that you managed to not hear about it until now, it was a major story locally for quite a stretch earlier this year. I have no idea about the national coverage tho.

I ain’t defending ****. Shining light on hypocrisy. I thought you were perceptive enough to recognize the distinction.

Ya I mean it's super obvious if what happened at psu happened at another big school fans of that school would have the same reaction of being defensive. All the people who attack Penn state swear up and down that they wouldn't or it would never happen at their school. It's fair to attack those people for being hypocrites even if the finger is being pointed by someone who did the same thing (whataboutism doesn't absolve them for being shitty but doesn't make their point invalid).

The only correct response is to completely disavow your school, never support or root for them again. Anything else and you are part of the problem and deserve any hate you get.

I never made excuses for the criminals or the enablers. I did for a portion of the fan base that were realistic about what happened.

So you're not a pedo enabler; you're merely a pedo enabler enabler.

Nice pedo avatar btw

For anyone who doesn't know, that cartoon in the avatar is the pedophile character from Family Guy. Hilarious!!!

Sick burn on the avatar bro! Expert explanation

it does seem in poor taste whatever the explanation and you should probably just change it

I lost a bet on here a couple years ago to AU guy and had to have it up for a certain period of time. Never changed it out.

I wondered if we had scandal burn out or some schools are really too big to fail.

Like 90% of human beings do the same thing ... cover up, toe the party line, protect the institution, whether it be the school, the church, the hospital. If you don't you get fired or overruled and the same thing happens anyway. It's a nightmare not easily faced and too much is at stake. Right at this point denial clicks in ... and the status quo is maintained, the perps allowed to continue. Tragic state of affairs. Not sure it bears hating on the institution in perpetuity ... once the guilty are gone anyway.

before Jerry Sandusky, there was Todd Hodne:
