By the time of this interview (2006) with Charlie Rose, Joe Paterno had been concealing a vulgar fact for years and years.
A friend of his was a pedophile preying on innocents at Penn State University, and Joe knew it. So did Joe's supposed bosses.
Rather than turn the information they had regarding Jerry Sandusky over to criminal investigators, the highest administrators of the institution let Paterno's former assistant coach continue on his destructive path. Furthermore, they continued to support his Second Mile charity and granted him access to Penn State University athletic facilities.
He was given "emeritus" status.
Listen to this interview if you are able to, and attempt to comprehend what Joe Paterno professed to be and believe in during his discussion with Rose.
Then try to reconcile that with what you now know about Joe Paterno.
This is ugly, ugly stuff.
Joe Paterno was delusional at best. To think that this man should continue to be venerated by the PSU "family" is sickening.
Bring down the statue in Happy Valley! It is an affront to common sense and human decency.
