I heard one reporter make reference to "sports jingoism." I totally get it now.
You need to get out more. Sports culture throughout the world is crazy. It's not just a U.S. thing.
Really?
So you have friends and family in other countries?
I can tell you that sports are EXTRACURRICULAR activities in Europe. There is no sis boom rah rah crap in school.
I need to get out more?

But, this isn't about football. Childrend didn't get abused b/c of football. And maybe the cover-up had something to do w/ preserving the schools reputation, but I bet it had more to do with the fact that this men just didn't want to see what was under their noses b/c it made them uncomfortable.

I am also surprised, shocked really, at how many people are defending the University, Paterno, the administration, etc. The students rioting I thought were morons, but perhaps they will look back on this after they are parents and reconsider their actions. However, I have several acquaintances (alums and not) who are vigorously defending the University and its apparent inaction and this floors me. Am I the only one?
