Pediatric and Penn State go together like champagne and doggy style.
Fine. If you want to engage in mental shorthand and generalize about the school's entire student body -- 99.8% of whom had no connection with that time in the school's history -- and community, you have at it.
After all, it worked for racists for many, many years. And it almost worked for Keith Olbermann in 2015.
Serious question. Sandusky aside? Did Joe Paterno have any real redeeming qualities off the field?
He is revered and loved by PSU students and was often fawned over by local press.
I never liked him because I think he helped usher in the age of coaches who severely limited press access.
Great. Now you have resorted to comparing people to racists for still holding Penn State accountable for the massive failure that allowed Sandusky to abuse children there for so long. Olbermann's posts were ill-advised, ill-timed and childish, but it is about time you saw that Penn State still harbors much of the same culture that allowed that to happen in the first place.
Penn State still has work to do to wipe away the stain that Sandusky and his enablers left on that university. One positive step would be for the students, alumni and fans to stop whining about how they have been mistreated. At the very least, it comes off as insensitive and self-centered given how those boys Sandusky abused were treated.
Yeah, I've considered your stance and think I'll let mine stand. Last shot to ... oop.
