It WAS Joe Paterno's decision to make, Tom Sawyer, what don't YOU understand about that?
The man was an icon around Penn State and could have stopped his pervert of an assistant coach in his tracks. Instead, he casually passed the information along the chain of command.
What about the 10-year-old boy who was scarred for life from the sexual molestation? The news that spread around the country about this scandal was good for only one thing: It helped to out the pedophile from Syracuse University.
You can almost bet there are other cases out there to be uncovered.

Joe Paterno was fully informed of what happened in the shower with his long-time assistant coach. He had an eye witness in another coach.
Instead of casually passing it on to the administration through the chain of command like he did, he should have come forward immediately and did something about this atrocity in his own team's locker room.
He did not, and that's why he has been maligned and fired. Think about the innocent 10-year-old boy. He is scarred for life.
