		Michelle Richardson on the NCAA By Michelle Richardson November 11, 2011

	Sportstalk: Word now has it that the students at Penn State are out to do their own version of occupy Wall Street as they are vowing to protest and demonstrate the Paterno firing. How long can they stay out is a big question. They also plan to demonstrate at the school's board of director's offices. All in all did Joe Pa deserve the firing or not? This is a trying time at Penn State and I can't say anything to you that will make you feel any differently about the horrible crime that was covered up for 10 years. Jerry Sandusky raped young boys for ten years without fear of repercussions. A graduate assistant, a head coach, an athletic director, a vice president, and a university president all knew about the rape of a boy by a coach and all closed a blind eye for the sake of the image of the Penn State University. Now, instead of one boys life being turned upside down, the number is up to forty and counting. And all Joe Paterno can do have a pep rally on your front porch and say is "I wished I'd done more." Mr. Paterno, I wished you'd done more, those boys wished you done a hell of a lot more. Sportstalk: This Saturday the Nittany Lions 8-1 (5-0) are playing the Nebraska Corn Huskers 7-2 (3-2) in a game that is at anything but Happy Valley there's a planned "Blue Out" where all students will be wearing just blue to support all children of sexual abuse, there are planned demonstrations to bring Joe Paterno back, and there have been extra media credential requests from media outlets as far away as Japan, South America, and a few other countries to cover not the game but as they now call it at Penn State "the media circus." Michelle in your own words what do you see this game environment being like on Saturday? Paterno always talked about "Victory with Honor." Where is the honor in not protecting children? And to the IGNORANT masses of Penn State University students who destroyed property and are so misguided in their school loyalty that they cannot see the MORAL FAILURE OF ALL THOSE WHO KNEW, AND SAID NOTHING . . . . YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!! I understand your appreciation for Mr. Paterno's legacy, but he failed everyone of those boys by not being the man we know he can be, and should have been. For Mr. Paterno to be so arrogant as to state that he would be coaching until the end of the season; and after finding out that he had been relieved of his coaching duties for students to chant one more game is absolutely sickening. Sportstalk: Finally former assistant coach and accused child molester from Penn State Jerry Sandusky is expected to plead innocent of the charges. What will be his fate and are you surprised that Paterno has been the focal point of all of the media coverage instead of Sandusky? So don't ask me about football or anything else regarding sports on this day that we celebrate the men and women who answered the call of duty. Don't ask me about Joe Paterno or Penn State University because when duty called they sent it to voice mail.
