Good Quote from former player

[qdawgg]

Brad Benson, a former Penn State offensive lineman who won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants, was not invited to attend the game. He said he wouldn't go anyway -- and had no problem with his fellow former Nittany Lions presenting a unified front -- as long as they remembered the true victims of this case.
"I sure wouldn't want it be a show of solidarity for Joe," he said.
Benson spoke in anger about Paterno's actions and, more troubling, the reaction of unruly students who toppled a television news van, rioted and attempted arson after a peaceful demonstration Wednesday night turned ugly.
"There are people right now that are supporting Joe. They are rioting and doing things they shouldn't be doing," he said. "I equate these students that are rioting to the occupiers on New York City right now. They're not mature enough to understand why they're rioting. They weren't there when this happened. What are they protesting? They're protesting that someone with a tremendous responsibility failed to fulfill his moral responsibility and other people failed as well."

Dumb - in one case they are supporting someone who did something wrong, and in the other case they are protesting people who have done wrong.

Concisely and well stated.

Refreshing perspective from a Penn State insider.

Sums up my viewpoint on the topic perfectly.

Even so, I'd bet there's a significant percentage that are just there for the party.

Good job by Benson. Much better than his ridiculous used car commercials on WFAN.

You do realize that those ridiculous car commercials are a front to attract attention to his business. Kind of like Billy Fuccillo or from back in the day, Crazy Eddie. The thing about business is that you want people to talk about your business.

I'm well aware of how that works.

I agree.
