Joe Paterno, Fired. Riots ensue

End of an era, don't you think?

I'm not privy to the legacy of Joe Paterno. Why would him being fired be considered the end of an era?

It's sickening the amount of support some of these kids are showing a man that protected a serial pedophile. Like they said on ESPN, 10 years from now, those kids are going to ask themselves what they were thinking.

He had the most wins of any coach in college football history. He's been the head coach at Penn State since 1966. Whenever sports fans think Penn State, the first person to come to mind is always Joe Paterno.

Well, I guess it is the end of an era. Adios, Paterno.

I'm a sports fan..I know I'll always think of him as "child rapist enabler" first, "great coach" distant second.

It's interesting how fast we can lose trust in someone and how slow we can gain trust in someone. mrmusicman247

The man did everything he was required to do and he was fired for it

Sickening

When the announcement came that Paterno would not coach again at Penn State, students gasped and hushed. Women began to weep.

This must be taking place on a different planet than the one I live on :roll:

I don't understand the sarcasm?

He did what was required on every single level

He was told of something wrong and told the people who's jobs are to deal with it

That was the end of what he needed to do, he's the *#&@# football coach and that's it.

Though I find that knowing what is going on but telling the dude to keep it off campus makes Paterno disgusting.LJS9502_basic

It's not worth debating Jaysonguy...he posts in Sports Games Discussion all the time and he always goes against whatever the popular opinion is no matter what. I'm not sure he actually believes most of the things he posts.

1. That never happened with Paterno

2. He told the people in charge, it was their job to call the police

Again, he is the football coach

And you think of me.LJS9502_basic

he made the wrong career choice, the bishop of kansas city robert finn got to keep his job after being indicted this year for covering for child molesters

Older women that hit on young boys are known as cougars. Older men that hit on young boys are known as Nittany Lions. Oh snap!
