do you believe Paterno had a moral obligation to do more for the kids?

you seem to think that Paterno has some sort of god given right to his job as the head ball coach of a major university :confused: ...while I appreciate your experience I just don't get where your coming from... personally, at a bare minimum, I'd fire him just for having a guy on staff for...

fair point...but I think you, and other posters that are critical of the grand jury process, are talking apples and oranges as it pertains to the Paterno situation...the Board of Trustees never said Paterno is guilty of a crime based on the grand jury report... and, notwithstanding the inherent...

of course your not carrying the water for "Joe" ... most people see what is going on... Paterno, the "leader" of this campus had knowledge of the molester Sandusky committing his crimes on campus no less...and, Paterno didn't have the moral courage to go to the police... it is really not that...

I hear tons of complaints about JoPa (who I see as someone stuck in the middle of a rotten situation), but comparatively few calling for the swift collection of evidence and trial of the man responsible in the first place! that's pretty weak...leaders don't get stuck in the "middle of a...
