When we play Penn State..

[David Harding]

When we play Penn State, this is what we'll see.  USCHO reports on the Penn State Board of Trustees approving the design of Pegula Ice Arena, their new hockey faculty.  Eleven renderings of the inside and out.  "Hockey Valley"  The Penn State site has a similar story with different quotes.

The more difficult task for PSU is to decide what to do when Paterno dies.

Unfortunately they are going to have to do that sooner rather than later. Paterno passed away this morning. ESPN story

Shame he had to go out this way.  Hopefully people will remember the good as well as the bad. RIP Joe.

They will. Its hard to negate the fact that he played a major role in making PSU one of the ten best state universities in the country. One act does not define the life of a man, especially one who did as much good as Joe Pa. RIP.

But maybe two acts will?::uhoh::

Some people would wonder when and how much it's ok to joke about this.

The onion doesn't:

One act. An act that was a cover up of the rape of a minor that enabled the rape of many more. Fuck Joe Paterno and his memory. I don't care how much money Penn State was able to raise off of the sham that was the Paterno Way.

Onion's videos are uniformly good. The print stuff is sophomoric.

Countless students got a world class education because of what he did for the university. I understand that he failed his duty and I'm not trying to excuse him of that, but many people are better off today because Paterno coached at Penn State. All the good he did does not cancel out his failings, but his failings do not cancel out the good either.

He didn't fail his duty.  His supervisors failed THEIR duty.  He reported the incident to his supervisors and THEY covered it up.  And that includes the current governor of PA, who was the local DA at the time.

It's like this:  you reprimand and discharge the soldiers that abused the prisoners at Abu Ghraib.  But you ream out the generals who tried to cover it up.  But you expect the lesser officiers in between to use the chain of command to fix the problem.

I have a feeling you'd have a different opinion if it was your son getting sodomized.  Joe Paterno was an extremely powerful man in that community.  When he became aware of what was happening he should have put an end to it immediately and personally.  Don't give me this chain of command crap.  Joe Paterno COULD have and SHOULD have done more.

Why do people argue about this on the internet?

More than most, it's a subject on which one's opinion of the man and his legacy will not change.
