New Sports Illustrated cover about Penn State: (powerful)

[Are_grits_groceries]

That is an epitaph for JoePa.

1. I don't understand the obscession people have with pedophiles...

and their enablers. Instead we get college age kids on TV whining about a sport being more important than children.

2. What are you talking about?

If by obsession, you mean an interest in what happens to pedophiles and their enablers, consider me obsessed. I want to find out how harshly they will be punshed. Child abuse is a crime that ruins young lives.

Level 3 pedophiles should be jailed for a long, long time. They cannot be cured.

[Fumesucker]

6. I could be wrong but my Poe detector is pinging..

Probably unlabeled sarcasm..

[gregoire]

9. Rapiing children over decades is only twice as bad as buying a tattoo.

That is what the NCAA has gone on the record as supporting. Some here complain that men no longer stand-up for children. This is the perfect example.

3. They never were penn state

it was all a travesty built on a false premise that their leaders never lived up to

4. No babe in a bikini?

5. Whoa -- powerful indeed

[gkhouston]

7. Actually, I find that cover offensive, as it brings to mind the movie, "We Are Marshall".

That was a tragedy. The sanctions against Penn State are a consequence.

[WilliamPitt]

8. Well...

"We Are Penn State" is the chant you hear in the stands at every PSU game, so actually, the caption is right on point.

[RagAss]

10. Wow. SI stepping up with a pair of balls.

[cbrer]

11. Unprecedented Failure

Indeed.

The sanctions against Penn State were not as harsh as the mental mind fuck and physical assault that those boys were subjected to. Followed by a cover up of a particularly foul nature.

The statue should have remained. It would remind people of the failings at every level.
