After days and several hours of unrest and anger from people around the country regarding the sex abuse scandal that has rocked Penn State, the board of trustees didn't wait until Friday to make a decision on Joe Paterno. The board fired both Paterno and President Graham Spanier late Wednesday night sending the school into a tizzy.While Paterno wasn't guilty of hurting anyone, he is guilty of negligence in not doing something, anything to stop Jerry Sandusky from raping children in his locker room. All he did back in 2002 was notify the school's athletic director and vice president, both of whom were fired earlier this week, and washed his hands of it.
It is not known whether Paterno ever confronted Sandusky, but considering the fact that the former defensive coordinator hung around the complex over the past decade, that included his own office space and hours, made it clear that Paterno looked the other way when it came to Sandusky's perversions.
Paterno had it coming.
Meanwhile the entire Penn State student body is protesting on the campus, chanting "Bring Joe Back." What a bunch of fools. These kids don't understand that this issue has NOTHING to do with football. They are looking at this with blinders to the fact that their beloved head coach concealed, and allowed a monster to walk around his football complex for over 15 years, if not longer.
Paterno will no longer coach the Nittnay Lions, effective immediately. This puts a big crimp in the plans of the current football team, who are holding on to an 8-1 record and face a very good Nebraska team this Saturday afternoon. The stories will continue all weekend for sure.
