Serious Business

I don't know how it's playing out across the country, but I'm close enough to Pennsylvania that the hideousness at Penn State is dominating sports radio again and guys, I am so sad and weary of all the people who decided to interpret "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" as a lifestyle manual. (Anyone with CSA triggers please star far, far away from the new Freeh report - I don't and I still had trouble sleeping.)

If on the drive home I hear one more time this isn't a "football issue" I might rip the radio of of the car. Of course it is! Sandusky used his football cred to groom these kids, the attacks happened in the team showers and the whole thing was covered up to protect the football program. In the Freeh report it relates that the janitors kept quiet because they knew King Joe Pa would have them all fired and nothing would change! Does anyone really think that if this had been a scandal in the sociology dept everything would have unfolded that same way? Of course it's a football issue.

If this NCAA will give the death penalty for recruiting violations but not for this I don't know how it keeps any shreds of credibility.
