Play devil's advocate in all this. Say...JoePa did hide this. For what amounted to being decades. Why would a man of what was perceived as utterly impeccable integrity do such a thing? For what now is alleged to be over the course of decades.
That seems inconceivable. Hell, I'm not a PSU fan and it sounds far-fetched to me. However...devil's advocate time...what would drive a man like Joe Paterno to do such a thing?
Folks...that most likely means that there is worse news out there we haven't heard yet. Yes, worse than hiding it back as far as the early 70's like what's being reported now.
15 years ago, did any of us think something like this could possibly happen? Seriously. Even look at it as 100% a pack of lies and that Sandusky was actually innocent.
Would you think the accusation...could be possible? Let alone the trial, and how all that went down.
Inconceivable (as this new news coming out seems). Right?
To blithely decry this is nothing but gobblygook I think...if you're going to hitch your wagon to that, just be prepared to reap the whirlwind...because Man is a beast capable of unspeakable horrors. Horrors that defy comprehension that such things are even possible to be done by Reasonable Men.
History is full of examples of Reasonable Men effectively swearing on a stack of bibles that they are being framed, wrongly accused, etc...and the truth comes out that these very same Reasonable Men, in very powerful positions, did unspeakable things to protect what they built for their entire lives.
And they stopped at nothing to protect that which they held dear.
Brace yourselves...
