No; it doesn’t. And you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to associate that image with this subject matter. Asshole.
I think they were only sentenceed to house arrest which isn’t very much of a punishment.
I’m not. I actually laughed just now looking at it again, it’s that hilarious to me. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
Is he still dead? Good.
Is Sandusky still in prison? Good.
Only two months??
As Lemmy would say, he’s still an asshole… it’s just that he’s a DEAD asshole now.
It took you nearly two years to come up with that?
Look, Paterno was neither all good nor all evil. He did a lot of charity work, he donated vast sums of money to the university library and many other non-football-related good causes, and as college football coaches go he kept his players on a much tighter leash than most, and all of those are good things. However, they do not in any way excuse or mitigate his enabling - even passively - of Sandusky’s molestation, nor of some of the other cover-ups he is rumored to have engaged in, and he will rightly carry that stain to his reputation forever.
I made the same argument about Teddy Kennedy - both the good things and bad things they did must stand and they must be judged on both without trying to use one side to erase the other.
Only took almost 20 years after it was first reported and almost a decade after indictment, but Graham Spanier, ex-President of Penn State, has been ordered to serve 2 months in jail and 2 month home confinement for refusing to report the sexual assaults to law enforcement. He is required to report to prison on July 9th.
Then, if there be a bit of justice, a little bit of time rotting in hell.
Wow. Incredibly harsh.
:rolleyes:
Here is a story, from ESPN, about Penn State football in the 1970s. It is not very flattering and is rather disturbing.
In real life, I’ve gotten a lot of blowback, grief, and other negative responses when I’ve put forth the idea that one punishment for these sporting scandals, especially those involving major criminal activity, is permanent expulsion of the school from sport conferences. Sure, have incremental punishments, but at some point, those fools have proven they don’t respect the sport or the law.
It’s as much an indictment of the entire legal system as Paterno & Penn State, but the last few paragraphs - damn.
