penn state scandal

Joe Paterno was a legendary college football coach who will never be forgotten during a conversation about the greatest coaches of all time. Over six decades with a single program is a phenomenal tenure at a nationally recognized program. The unveiling of the horrific story at PSU went through different focal point. First, the attention was on Paterno and his legacy then the transforms from a sport story into a news media frenzy when really the focus should right away be on the victims. Social media plays a factor in this because it gives everyone a voice to speak they want which was, at the time, the football program. Twitter especially has given people the ability to link their topic of interests and speak to one another about they chose. I found most people were honoring Paterno on his accomplishments but also criticized him for not taking the morally correct path outside the lines. Now in the most current of news there are more and more schools being allegedly caught molesting children as well. This situation gives us the ability to reconstruct on views on authorities and trust factors that we must think about when leaving our children with them.
