How about donating ... ALL PROFIT .... PROCEEDS ...
REVENUE ETC... that has anything to do with this freaking game to Legitimate Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Programs. Geesh if they have to sit there and spue how unfair it would be to the players, fans and the band ... to cancel the game because it "was just the wrong thing to do." Arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggg ......

F%$^ WOULD SOMEONE ON THE PSU Board of Trusties get a freaking clue? Your words on these blue child abuse place-cards, or making everyone wear a nice pretty little blue ribbon for the day reminds me of those stupid 'support our troops' yellow bumper sticker ribbons all these gas guzzling SUV's were running around with awhile back. Freaking Rah Rah made in China empty slogans !!

I think this Child Sexual Abuse Scandal of yours (Penn State) has created enough 'publicity' lately on Child Abuse Awareness that this make you feel good gesture of handing out more cheap shit sounds like a public relations stunt more than anything ...

SHIT IF YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME .... OR HAVE TO PLAY THE LAST 3 GAMES INCLUDING ANY BOWL GAME ..... DO THE RIGHT THING .... THE FAIR THING AND DONATE ALL PROCEEDS ..... ALL REVENUE ..... TO THE PREVENTION OF THE SHIT YOUR INSTITUTION WAS COMPLICIT IN. DON'T WAIT FOR THE COURTS .... TAKE THE BALL AND RUN WITH IT.

Otherwise just cancel the freaking games

:rant: re-posted here in response to this link Penn State/Nebraska Game Tomorrow ....

6. The Pros ...
in this and other sports are always playing in charity events ... in their off time, off season. Charity Golf tournaments with the 'stars' etc... How hard would it be for this institution to designate the rest of the season this way as it pertains to these games. No brainier if you ask me to do the right thing .... but yeah got to consider the criminal mafia mindset of this closing of the eyes, ignoring, greedy black hearts society we are dealing with here. Peace.

5. good idea..would be a positive and healing gesture
I'm not a football fan so I avoided reading about this for a couple days. It's all bad and disgusting but I am particularly upset with the fact that an adult witnessed and walked away instead of helping a child. None of it makes sense and I think anything which helps heal the entire community as well as the students is a very good idea.

9. Been hard to find any ...
beginning to a silver lining in any of this. A healing process gesture as you put it ... that really makes a difference in the Victims lives. The Institution should put it's money where it's mouth is ... well what has come out of their mouth has just been mostly more B.S. :eyes: We shall see ... Peace.
