Child-rapist protector statue being removed from front of PSU football stadium as NCAA issues sanctions against the university for knowingly burying sex abuse scandal......
Isn't it ironic how the very things that JoePa sold out for like his and the university's "reputation" are now beginning to crumble before our eyes. All this because they weren't man enough to do the right thing to begin with and expose the predator Sandusky.
Now they reap what they sow.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The White House says President Barack Obama believes removing the larger-than-life statue of Joe Paterno at Penn State was the right thing to do.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told Washington reporters that Obama believed “it was the right decision” for the university to remove the monument from outside the stadium.

The famed statue of Joe Paterno was taken down from outside the Penn State football stadium, eliminating a key piece of the iconography surrounding the once-sainted football coach accused of burying child sex abuse allegations.
The statue was taken down early Sunday in the wake of a report that found that the late coach and three other top officials concealed sex abuse claims against Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky is awaiting sentencing on sex abuse convictions involving 10 boys.
Penn State President Rod Erickson said he decided to have the statue removed because it had “become a source of division” and would be “a recurring wound” to victims of child abuse had it remained.
