It appears that statutory rape did occur in some cases. But the claim that the molestation/rape occurred with "young boys" is misleading. Some of the grooming started as young as 8 years old, but the "boys" were generally older (12 or older)
His shitty pseudo-analytics posts slid by relatively unscathed in the glow on an NFC. And they he dialed up that gem.Single worst post in BWers history.
I got rationally angry in that thread when baboo and artsandletters started that nonsense.
When the sandusky scandal first broke several years ago I thought it would completely destroy the cult of joepa. instead, it just galvanized those wierdos to the point of no return. nothing will change a PSU fan's opinion about joepa, nothing.
Exactly. But hey - the football fans are happy, Joe Pa still has his wins. Who cares if the reputation of what is (once was?) a fine academic institution is forever tarnished.My boy brought up Penn State as a possible school a while back. Shut that down instantly. I'd rather him go to St Joe's. (not that either are happening)
That post is several orders of magnitude worse than "I won't miss them" (the baboo post above that is)

What's amazing to me is that we now live in this over zealous PC society where every perceived slight, real or imagined, if met with requisite # and feeding frenzy. However, in this case where you have actual victims and crimes of the worst kind it's met with a kind of yawn. More people were pissed when some idiot poached a lion half a world away.
This is sort of like a colin cowherd hot take. Conflating completely unrelated issues to manufacture some "narrative." There was/is outrage everywhere over this... you are really reaching.Agree, I didn't communicate well. What's amazing to me is that anyone who defended the hunter or the faculty at Missiouri etc... were made out to be the worst of the worst. However, when someone defends what I consider a real/awful series of events (that occured over 20 years) at PSU it's met with a sort of...well, that's just a Penn State grad being a Penn State grad/defender response.
You are missing my point. What I find interesting is the reaction to those who defend the university or joepa. If you defended the lion guy the pc police would kill you. It was over a lion. This is far worse and I find the reaction to those who choose to defend psu interesting. It shows what we are willing to accept in support of our sports hero's. We don't even bat an eye in the sense that we just lump them into defenders of the program etc....it's noted in this very thread.

Are you going to manage what we can and can't talk about now?They're blind zealots and few are ever going to change. Why do you guys even waste your time talking about it? Especially, since it brings out so much venom when doing so.
