mcquerey told paterno the guy was molesting a 10 year old in the shower, and it seems he did not sugar coat it. And now it seems very apparent paterno knew about issues before that. the man didn't earn the nickname God for a reason. he knew about everything there. Then the whole women's sports thing he swept under the rug years ago. so he has a track record of sweeping stuff up.
time for a little business 101: here is how being upper management works. if s**t goes down on your watch, you get fired, regardless of what you knew. it's called responsibility and the buck stops at his desk. whether it was raping 10 year old boys or turning an eye to securities fraud. Board of directors have fired CEOs for less.
#2: Fired <> arrested. You are not innocent until proven guilty at work. just like he decided the program was more important than little kids, the school has now decided it is more important than him. he loses. welcome to life. Fair? matters not. I gave the old man the benefit of the doubt at the beginning. but every day it looks worse. he had to go.
My sense is if it were your kid you'd have a different opinion. but I believe you are just backing the old man here because no one else is and that is what you do with every thread like this, argue the alternative to stir the pot.
