Perhaps you are not seeing this the way some of us do.
Joe Paterno has accepted a responsibility. He is in a possition of great influence and resposibility. He's looked up to for guidance and support. He has a greater responsibility than most anyone. If he can't handle it, he needed to gtfo anyway.
If the ones with the most influence and power won't help, then who will?
And nobody is calling for Joes Lynching. Simply agreeing with the fact that he was fired and that he should be ashamed of himslef in this instance.
A person in his possition is supposed to GET SHIT DONE. Not pass the buck on chilid RAPE.
