you are so irretrievably clueless. You can't tell the difference between rooting for a school and rooting for a pedophile, but here you are trying to give someone a hard time for not caring about the difference between schools that happened to be the location of some bad behavior.
hell, as long as you're making shit up, why not throw your pet racism in there.
The school covered it up, too! It's not JUST one guy that created that legacy. It was at all levels. That whole institution should have been closed. And, of course, here you are passively defending the shit because it casts your teammate in a bad light. There's no bottom. Carry on!
at the time it all happened, I was trying to point out to hysterical idiots like you that it was a police matter, and not an NCAA one. The NCAA has no rules against pedophilia simply because that sort of thing is not what the NCAA exists to police. So, the one individual who was actually a school administrator and who turned his back, is who in the school (other than coaches Paterno and Sandusky) should have gotten run through the courts and then whipped mercilessly forever for not stopping the disgusting activity.
no problem, homo. I was just joking but the joke wasn't for you, it was for people capable of recognizing that.
I really don't care what you were trying to do then, or now.
Thanks for the clarification. Why? Is it simply economics where the big, monied programs would have an unfair advantage from a personnel standpoint?
I think the whole thing is pretty overblown, but sending scouts to other games is weird to me. I'm firmly against sign stealing though and I think anyone in baseball should get thrown at when they do it. Not really sure what the football equivalent would be. They could just make it irrelevant and put communication tech in a QBs helmet like the NFL.
really? Then why did you make a point of saying I was just supporting my 'teammate'? That would be the now, and my rebuttal was pointing out the then, well before there was a 'teammate' to defend. I know this is pretty heady stuff for to follow, maybe you should just stick to mindless virtue-signaling.
there you go just making shit up again. That's what you have to do because you never have an argument otherwise. The school did not help cover things up, and I would love it if you identified the few who you say did. I'll gladly help you castigate them.
If there was a question of whether Dean handled it properly once he was informed of the possibility, the average human being who was a fan would defend him because he would seem to be above any wrongdoing. Paterno reported the rumor that he heard to the right authority, and then washed his hands of it all. His 'crime' was in not following up to make sure nothing was actually going on. I was at the top of the pile calling for his head, not that you care about then or now or anything but your opportunity to virtue-signal. VERY few people even knew that Sandusky MIGHT be committing horrible behavior.
I've always had difficulty with this entire series of events. It simply can't be justified at any level and I don't know what Joe Pa knew or didn't know specifically. I do know a couple of people that played for him and, to a man, they would do anything they could have for him and also attest to his values and virtue. Thus, it's a conundrum for me. That being said, I highly doubt that anyone who was actually associated with the entire situation is still there. Thus, I can't really hold the actions (or inactions) of individuals against that of the institution. I just hate them now due to my s-i-l and her zaniness.
The success of PSU is forever-attached, and it was well-earned, to covering up multiple child rape. So... if you can manage to say "meh, it wasn't that bad, because blah, blah, blah..." Be my guest. That's your choice. Justifying and rationalizing is what human beings do best.
It reminds me of Malcolm X when he realized the "honorable" Elijah Mohammed" had really betrayed him. He would have died for the man. And, then, he found out he had been betrayed. He didn't have the capacity to process that. He found it, eventually. Of course, he was murdered himself.
of course it's forever attached, because there are far more mindless idiots out there who don't bother to inform themselves of the facts, than there are those who can actually think and care about the truth and aren't looking for a reason to signal their virtue.
No... actually you've done your damnedest to deflect away from that and minimize what happened. You even tried to claim that UNC fans would do the same with Dean Smith. You keep doing it over and over. I forgive you, sweetie.
I guess you just have to lie to fuel your combative homosexual delusions.
stop trying to divide his attention. But you are exactly right.
I grew up playing baseball too and in my area it was understood that all bets are off if you tried to steal signs. You can do it, but don't expect to get it for free.
and for the people actually guilty of that, it did. But let's try to make it more sinister and far-ranging than that so you can virtue-signal some more.
It means don't be surprised if all of a sudden the other team's pitchers start having issues with their accuracy.
like I only have one root cause of my problems. The problems I have, one root cause isn't nearly enough to explain them all.
If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying!
Michigan is supposed to get on a plane at 1:00 PM to fly to Happy Valley for tomorrow's game. The BIG is supposedly responding to Michigan in the "early" afternoon. I predict a court filing by Mich., asking for an immediate injunction against the BIG if it's anything that derails this season. Their whole game here will be to delay all of this until after the playoffs and let khaki boy ride his horse back to the NFL.
