My misread...
As to Sandusky and other kids, it was widely reported that his foundation Second Mile continued to bring kids around the program (gamedays, campus trips etc).
Sandusky is Creepy Article </div></div>
Yh the dude was creepy obviously and a pedophile but who says he did it in front of Paterno. I have been an athlete and been sitting there and a coach sit next to me and slap my on the thigh (notin a creepy fashion lol) but if there was another coach there I am sure he didn't sit there and stare at us to see what continued to unfold or he was doing something else and did not notice...or like i said who says that he even did that in front of Paterno??? Doesn't mention that in the article. </div></div>
Are you really this stupid.
Paterno himself has already admitted he knew what was going on and should have followed up or done more. So it really doesn't matter what fantasy you have in your head about him not actually witnessing the act or any other puzzle pattern you are using to absolve Paterno of guilt.
That article was used to show Sandusky continued to have access to the football program with underage children after the incident in question.
So again, for all the Paterno fans prognostications that he was a man who taught practiced excellence, he failed in the most crucial situation of his life....but fear not he won a lot of football games YAY!
</div></div>
So when you don't agree with people you call them all stupid? Joe Paterno never said he knew what was going on...way to comprehend. Again people have selective hearing. He stated that even IF he knew what was going on, ie if McQueary told he that he actually saw what was happening, he wasn't sure if he would have been able to comprehend it because he couldn't fathom it.
Please learn to read/comprehend what people actual say please before referring to things as fact.
