JoePa Fired/What is happening at Penn State?!?!

[Wesley]

KFc rumors start en masse.

 

[Doc]

This whole ugly and disgusting thing is a failure on every persons part that had any responsibility at Penn State.

Penn State Scandal Timeline: Key Dates In The Jerry Sandusky Sex Abuse Case

This timeline shows how many times the ball was dropped and people did not do their jobs. It is sad that Joe Pa has to end his career this way, but it is much worse what happened to these children who are now young adults. To think they had to live their lives with this is unconscionable.

My question is this, how in the HELL was Sandusky allowed to work at Second Mile after every report of sexual assault?! HOW?!!! A failure of responsibility and oversight.

I think he founded 2nd mile. It'd be awful if somebody in that organization knew what he was doing.

The reporters are being ****** bags..

No joke. These are some of the dumbest questions I've ever heard. These reporters don't understand that they aren't going to get the hellfire quotes that they're looking for out of this guy.

Not only that but they are interrupting him as he's answering questions.

 

[Cy4Patriots]

The school is going to riot. The media is a joke.

 

[alarson]

Not sure who the guy is answering all the questions but I feel sorry for him ... getting drilled.

Honestly, he's making things worse by giving these reporters (seems like one or two in particular) a soapbox.

And the questions about rioting, really? I put the blame on those guys if something blows up there for fanning the flames.

 

[CtownCyclone]

Wow, that guy is pulling no punches on the "great public relations answers".

 

[CycloneDaddy]

I do to, but he is handling it well.

Now that I know that he is the CEO of US Steel I don't feel that bad for him but the reporters are out of line with some of their questions and tone.

 

[Cy4Patriots]

Some of the reporters at this press conf are openly hostile to them for firing paterno.

Yea, they're idiots. The guy is just answering the best he can.

ITS FOOTBALL PEOPLE.

Saturday will be weird not to see joe on the sideline

Isn't that just a prerequisite for being a reporter?

 

[cdfree]

Why doesn't someone ask when the board members knew of the rape?

 

[alarson]

Wow, the guy ended with tinfoil hat talk that this is all a big scheme to get paterno.

 

[Doc]

"one of those sports events where you'll always remember where you were".

Shut up ESPN.

 

[jsb]

Some idiot sayed the board had been gunning for Paterno since 2004. Like they were just waiting for the sex scandal to use that to fire him, the president, the AD, etc.

They must have let students into that mess because that was crazy.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

In my whole life I have never seen anything like this. This is truly unbelievable.

 

[clone319]

I wonder what kind of asinine statement Scott paterno will write up for his dad in response.

 

[MLawrence]

Isn't that just a prerequisite for being a reporter?

As some one who may be reporter someday... Gosh I hope not. That was complete circus in there.

 

[SvrWxCy]

FIFY

You sir were correct, this thing is a circus... There are definitely reporters that are eye-deep in the kool-aid, but at the same time it is a bit sad to see a guy that has been so distinguished on the football field go down like this.

Has Joe Pa been on the sidelines at all this year ... everytime I see RapeU on tv he is in the pressbox.

Yep people want to lay blame on PSU and rightfully so but there were opportunities to stop this way before. PSU is going to pay for the whole system not working.
