Get Startedinkfreq said:In all honesty, Sandusky was his boy. If someone accused one of my good friends of something like that, especially somebody I barely know at work, I'd have probably ripped the witness to shreds and not wanted to believe it.
I'm not saying its right, but I can be honest with myself and know that I wouldn't want to believe something like that about someone I call friend.
Should Joe have done more? Obviously. A lot of kids were hurt and he did have a responsibility to do more. But I know if someone told me that about a man I called friend I would take it to the next person in the chain and pray they found out it was all bullshit too.
Where I think Joe wet wrong was in not revoking his access to the facility. For all we know this witness report was the first of many kids and this creep had a nice hiding spot out of public view I do it because no one took away his access.
I honestly feel for JoePa in this one. I can't imagine how hard this must be for him to deal with. He put his faith is his friend an found out it may have led to kids being abused.

Dude, shut up.
He did nothing. Not even the bare minimum. Didn't follow up, or confront his "friend". Just sat on his ass.

I'm not going too sit here and pretend I know everything about thiss case, but I know they said he spoke to a Grand Jury. Doesn't exactly sound to me like he did nothing.
Somehow he ended up testifying. How is that nothing?
And the result of that Grand Jury was not a finding of guilt. I don't know if he was found innocent or what, or if it's even over yet...but how do you crucify a guy and say he did nothing when he offered his sworn testimony to a court of law?
If they find that he purjured himself to cover his buddy's ass, I'd agree with the public outcry against him... but I just haven't heard anything yet that suggests that's the case.
All I have heard is that Joe didn't escelate things higher than his boss and didn't revoke access to the facilities, and I'm not even sure a coach has the authority to revoke that acccess. Maybe he does, but I just don't know.
It sounds to me like JoePa fucked up, but I hear a lot of people wanting to cast him into the fires with Sandusky like JoePa was diddling little boys... but that's not the case.
