#23 Joe Paterno Penn State scandal

I don't think anyone that knew about it or heard something about it should get any lead way by the court or by the school because of the football program. They should all deserve some kind of legal punishment for the kids and for people to learn a lesson.

I first of all think that Sandusky should get fired and sent to jail. I don't think he should get any special favours from anyone. What he did to those boys was wrong and shouldn't happen ever. Also the university superiors should get punished as well because Paterno did tell them what was going on and they did nothing about it.

I also think that the head coach of Penn State Joe Paterno should be in court as well because he could've done more. Especially if he is viewed as a heor and a role model. It should of ended nine years ago with him going to the police about what he had seen. It would of saved a lot of kids from being victims and would've been better to put a guilty man behind bars. He would've felt so much relief and would've been viewed as a bigger hero. I really don't care if he was king of the world, he should of done more with it once he saw that the university superiors weren't doing anything.

Yes he created a good program and yes he has a high reputation in the states but that doesn't give him the right to do whatever he wants. What I've learned from my athletics this year is that the ideal teams don't last forever, it changes. What Penn states football team needs to realize is that yes he created a winning team and he was apart of the team for a long time, but he had a good run. It is time for change and see what another coach can bring to the table. I am sorry but those people that want to keep him as coach and saying to "give him a break" they need to realize the bigger picture of what actually happened.

Overall everyone who was involved should be punished by the court because that whole situation was wrong and everyone should realize that. No matter what it wasn't right doesn't matter who they are and how they were involved. There should be no place for that anywhere or anytime.
