Psu scandal

The media has completely blown the scandal up. I believe that it needs to be blown up. Joe Paterno needs a reality check. He needs to know that it's not okay that the program took more president over the lives of the children that were ruined. Paterno should have said so Eggo fright away when it happened and he could have kept a good face for the program. He could have shown that he cared about the lives of the children and that he wanted to make things right so the program didn't have a bad name. They co coach had already retired by the time anyone knew about the scandal so the whole issue could have been resolved and mended before the media even knew about it. I think that paterno was mainly worried about looking bad to the public and I'm sure he was worried about the way His friend and colleague would look to the public, and I understand his concerns about the future and the success of the program, but he could have avoided the whole situation. I'm completely disgusted with the whole situation. I don't understand how anyone could sweep this issue under the rug for any reason. Paterno deserves what he got and deserves even more than that. I don't think he understands the repercussions of his actions, or non actions in this case. He should face those children along with his colleague. He is an amazing coach with great attributes and accomplishments, but his morals, values, and priorities were completely wrong.
