Message: [QUOTE="Orijinal, post: 2624992, member: 2359"] I hear you. I have refrained from sharing my thoughts on PSU, but I will just this once. What happened at PSU is deeply horrible, abhorrable, and deplorable. I cannot fathom it. About the worst sin you can commit. However ...here's my other opinion...this sin was perpetrated by one man, not an entire community of people. Perhaps some knew about what was going on ...perhaps even Joe Pa himself (and if so, incredibly appalling). But again, the sin was perpetrated by one man, and possibly covered up by a few others, but it is not the offense of the whole Penn State community. Penn State is not filled with child molesters who are actively encouraging and rooting for child sex abuse. Everyone abhors it just as much as everyone on this board does. I hate that every time Penn State gets a recruit the whole school is painted as a [I]current[/I] cesspool ...a molestation ring that currently practices abuse and makes everyone deplorable who touches it. I am also not a fan of this board going all self-righteous every time the name of PSU is mentioned, like everyone is SO much better than the entire institution and they have never done anything wrong in their life OR that SU has its hands clean in every conceivable way. This is how many on this board [I][U]act[/U][/I], whether they actually feel that way or not. I know no one on the board is a child molester or has ever covered up for someone who has, but everyone is guilty of something .. and many things, and that makes us no better than any person in the PSU community who had nothing to do with this mess. I'm tired of hearing about the offense. The past is the past now. The REAL reason I am aggravated with anything related to the PSU athletic department (and why many on here have every right to be aggravated) is that the AD faced no consequence at all for what was a seriously heinous crime and they continue to just improve and get better. That's on the NCAA and it's also on the athletic department for not only getting away Scott free but for thumbing their nose at the small consequences they did receive and for even trying to roll them back. That's freaking reprehensible [/QUOTE]
