YES...it was immoral of him not to. If had done so, further child molestations & sex abuse incidents conducted by "Sadistic Sandusky" would have been non-existent.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! He should have gone to the top of the chain if that is what it took. Guilty! All of them. The story now says that children were passed around. Give them the broom!!! Anyone that turns a blind eye to this should get a taste of the medicine.
ReplyDeletei think he had a moral obligation. not a legal one.
ReplyDeletebut then again, not everyone has the same morals.
word verification: SCRUM
"it was very scrummy of Joe Pa to not go to the police when the administration at the school chose not to."
Absolutely, and he deserves whatever repercussions come from his turning a blind eye.
ReplyDeleteActually, He did and the higher ups did nothing about it!!!!!! They wanted him out and they got what they wanted! So, instead of blaming Joe Paterno - Where were the parents and they had to know that something was going on - So, let's ruin a man's career and reputation before we find out the whole story!!!!!! I blame the parents and the kids for not speaking up!!! God Bless you, JoePa!! We will always love and respect you!!! WE ARE PENN STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeat Nebraska on Saturday!!!!
11:33, you blame the parents and kids for not speaking up?
ReplyDeleteYour comment just made Penn State and the fans look even worse than they already do.
McQueary should have been the first one fired. To think he is still on the payroll is just awful and disgraceful.
ReplyDeleteI don't think using Joe as a scapegoat does anything but make Penn State look desperate.
McQueary - you are the coward.
Of course, he knew the monster RAPED little boys! Shame on Joe Paterno.
ReplyDeleteshould the kid be kicked out for not reporting it? he was more involved than paterno. he reported it the way he was supposed to.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Happy Valley's not so happy anymore, but that's what they get.
ReplyDeleteYes. Roll Tide!
ReplyDelete11:49 hit it on the head
ReplyDeletethey guy that saw it should have went to the nearest phone and called the cops
YES
ReplyDeleteWhere did all of you get your information? I pretty sure I do not have enough information to make a definitive response.
ReplyDeleteWhen McQueary told Joe Paterno what he saw Joe should have said "lets go to the police and tell them what you saw and I will go with you"
ReplyDeleteMcQueary saw the incident, he was the eye witness and should have contacted the authorities immediately and also contacted those in his chain of command
ReplyDeleteJoe should have contacted law enforcement regarding this matter,but I don't want to see him serve time for it.This matter is escallating by the day.Massive lawsuits are coming.A blame game of epic proportions will ensue.Penn State won't settle for just firing Joe.Am I safe in assuming that being 80 some years old will give him immunity from incarceration?
ReplyDeletePaterno should have immunity from prosecution because of his coaching record.
ReplyDelete6:18, Nobody is ever granted immunity just based on their age! However he won't do any time because he didn't do anything illegal....he won't be charged with anything.
ReplyDeleteActually, he should not have had too. The one who witnessed the abuse should have done that himself.
ReplyDeleteBeing he did not, YES, Joe Paterno most definitely should have called police himself.
This should not even be a question.
Did you know State college is in the exact geographical center of the State of Pennsylvania?
ReplyDeleteJust one remark about the scandal...Where there's "BIG MONEY", (as in college sports, esp football & basketball) there's exists corruption and usually abuse in the form of rape or sodomy. As for "reporting it, "heads" don't like to be "gone over". This was a ten year old boy, not a college jock @ the age of consent trying to get ahead.(still, contemptible) While there may be a "chain of command"(as in the military...Abu Ghraib) sometimes you have to jump ship, go straight to the top & outside the institution, to the police (in this case). Heads MUST roll, the sooner the better...regardless of whose head...the general or the winningest ever coach. Wednesday, I felt bad for Paterno. By Friday, things were very different.
