Joe Paterno To Step Down At The End Of The Season

Penn State football coach Joe Paterno is going to retire at the end of the season. I think he should quit now or be fired now. I don't think you owe him anything. Yes he has been a coach at Penn State forever, but this is a man who could have stopped almost 15 years of boys being molested and did nothing. In case you have not been following the story, his former defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, has been charged with sexually abusing at least eight boys over a 15 year period. In 1998, a graduate assistant at Penn State saw Sandusky molesting a boy and reported it to Joe Paterno who did not do anything but tell HR. Nothing else. He felt no obligation to follow up or to wonder why a boy was being molested in the football locker room. I don't know why he should be allowed to retire on his terms when the boys who were abused had no say and no support from him.
