Having tried my best to give him the benefit of doubt, I put myself in his shoes. (assuming I'm 74 years old the way he was when he first found out what was going on. My age now I go to the shower and Sandusky doesn't leave til the copos get there or he beats my ass) An assistant just came to me and told me he saw Sandusky with a naked kid in the shower having sex do I report it to my boss and forget about it? Even watch Sandusky show up with other kids later? And just assume nothing is wrong?
Sorry. I go to the cops. He was 74 years old so he couldn't open up a can of beat down but for him to just pass the word along the chin of command is ludicrous. And so he must have been really convicing for NOTHING to have happened. The message stopped somewhere. And EVERYONE at that school from the eye witness to the last one told about it is equaly culpible in my eyes.
Again, we aren't talking about a dui cover-up, or paying players here.... children were RAPED. That word is just as hideous and vile and evil to me now as it was the first time I ever heard it and knew what it meant. Maybe it became mainstream and easy to hear down the line. But it's RAPE. And they were children.
Ugh..................
You don't just go to your boss and say...... 'Here's the budget for July, we gave 32 scholarships and have a few MRI's to complete, the feild crew needs to look at that sprinklerhead sticking up, a kid was raped in the shower, and and cancel me press conference I need to look at some game film from Saturday.
