Sportsball Discusses the Baylor Scandal - #25

Usually they mean student on student.

It's usually student on student, but in general it's a culture of hiding things and not dealing with problems, so I imagine there are students and professors who have been assaulted by students, professors, and administrators without the administration doing anything about it.

As a Temple student, who had a whole bunch of people from my highschool go to Penn State (also known as PW grade 13), I need to clarify something to you. You guys are a bunch of privileged, out of touch children who care more about a damn game than the safety of children. To this day, you guys lie to yourself to justify your bullshit protest and continue to defend Joe Paterno. The asshole knew, and he did jack all about it. He's just as guilty as Sandusky. Sandusky was a fucked up individual, who could argue that he had no control of his actions. Paterno was supposed to be a rational, competent adult, and he let it happen.

Again, as a Temple student, I can related to losing an icon like that. Bill Cosby was our Joe Paterno, and I can tell you that not one Temple student or Temple grad is defending that asshole.

The whole Penn State student body needs to grow the fuck up.

(And let's be honest, Matt Rhule is the only person worth a damn to come out of Penn State).

@DrDudeManJones Let me start by saying that at the beginning of this football season, I watched Temple beat the shit out of our team. And you know what? I fell in love with Matt Rhule more and more as the game went on. I love the guy.

Second, I would never make a generalization about such a diverse group of people like that. Last semester my film class watched the "Happy Valley" documentary and believe it or not, most of the "privileged, out of touch children" spoke out against Paterno. On that day I made the same comment that I did today; Paterno never faced a trial nor were any standard evidentiary procedures followed. Therefore, it is wrong to condemn him. Do I support bringing back his statue and returning him to legendary status? No. But the line that the Freeh Report drew its conclusion from was this: "After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps."

That being said, I encourage you as a Temple student to participate in the social media campaign supported by the student governments of Temple, Penn State, Lincoln, and Pitt encouraging Harrisburg to pass a budget so thousands of students don't lose state funding they desperately need to pursue a degree.

@Goranson

I knew a guy who used teach the English gen-ed there. He said there was a disturbing amount of essays about ending affirmative action and legalizing weed. I knew a girl who went to PSU, she was a militant vegan who would chastise people for eating turkey on thanks giving, she supported Paterno. I ended up blocking half of my graduating class on facebook because their social media post weren't "that is so horrible about those children," it was "why the fuck did they fire Jo-Pa." You yourself are still trying to justify your support of that asshole. So my "generalization" stands, the majority of Penn State students are out of touch. You guys are like a cult. School spirit is great and all, but goddamn you guys need to take it down a notch or two or ten.

As for the state funding....Well, I am not against it, but I don't think Wolfe will fuck us over in the style of Corbett. That asshole Corbett made his mission to destroy education in PA and then had the balls to stamp his name on Temple's new Science and Research Center.
