He definitely should've been fired. And the Penn State students that are protesting are just making their university look worse. Joe Pa let the guy continue to use the facilities on campus as late as LAST WEEK. That's unforgivable.
Is he the douche who touches kids?
No, that is Jerry Sandusky. But a grad student informed him that he had seen Sandusky in the showers with a young boy but apparently Joe Pa didn't report the incident to authorities which resulted in his firing which imo is justified. Those students tipping over news van should be thinking about those victims and not some 84 year old coach that should retire anyway.Quote:

Thank you for clearing that up :D
well I honestly don't blame the students for supporting Joe, that's called being a real fan of someone, you love them no matter what, and that's what I think about the PSU students supporting him, should he have been fired, probably, but the students had every right to support Joe through thisQuote:

I mean ya what he did was wrong I'll tell you that but he doesn't deserve any jail time, plus the guy probably only has about 5-10 years left to even live so I think he does need to try to enjoy the remainder of his life without football for a changeQuote:
