Joe "Blind" Paterno


College football coaches are involved in more corruption than even the media is aware of. For example coaches secretly bail their players out of jail to prevent public attention and suspensions (cough.. UT..Cough EVERYWHERE). Boosters hand out money to star players like it's candy and buy athletes cars/jewelry/ect. Why? Because these athletes are the biggest instruments in a multi-billion dollar corporation. For years it was obvious what was going on but oblivious America thought it made sense that these poor inner city athletes drove Escalades. But now something totally contrary to previous scandals has presented itself in Pennsylvania. Joe Pa had knowledge of his pedophile assistant for apparently a decade without bringing it to light. He was fired today as he should be, though I feel this is not the way Paterno's legacy deserves to end. In a sport that's attitude is win now, fire quick mentalities, Paterno has managed a tenure with Penn St since 1950. He's brought glory to his program with 400 wins and not to mention two national championships. Penn St. stuck with him through thick and thin so obviously the details of this perverted situation must be terribly disturbing for a legend to be fired after 61 years of glory. Too bad to see it end like that for you Joe, I know you would of hoped to go out on top.
