Firing Joe Paterno was the wrong way of firing him.

I am not for the firing of Joe Paterno, but they fired him. Even if they fired him because they felt he needed to go because of old age or because he didn't fulfill his moral obligation. Firing him by phone is just wrong. Joe Paterno has done so much positive for that program that he deserved a private meeting, and told face-to-face that he was terminated. I think that is the respectful thing to do.

My heart bleeds

NOT

Every child that was abused after this shower incident makes JoPa an accessory to the act. If he had any scruples at all rather than the willful ignorance he has shown he would have QUIT instead of pathetically trying to hang on for the rest of the season.

Where's the respect and concern he showed to the children of these unspeakable acts?

He got what he deserved which is a lot more than the victims got.

He'as lucky they didn't hand him a sledge hammer to rip down that statue of himself.

The respectful thing to do would have been to call the police and stop this waterfall of abuse for some many children.

I agree with the OP to an extent. What would have been better would for the board to show up at JoePa's house, invite the national media in, and have Vince McMahon tell Joe Pa...YOU'RE FIRED!!! Then I'd agree with you.

so you people are 100% posative that if joe called the cops that it would have stopped sanduski from molesting children ?? what evedence did he have at the time to convince the police of this ?? all he had was an accusation from another person to go on .. wheres the proof is what the police would have asked .. pedifile enabler I think not

He would not had the venue to entice them in. He was most definately an enabler.

I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I'm pretty daggone sure if JoePa called the cops and made such an accusation that they'd perhaps see fit to investigate it.

what dont you get molesters like sanduski have more that one venue to get to children .. and his charity was the best one

This I agree with. But an accusation and investigation early on would have definately save many children from him. It is the secrets that do the most damage, allowing it to continue.

From what I have seen there are more than one witness. And as we have seen, once one victim came forward it opened a flood gate.

I don't know. I wasn't in the room. And I'm also not an investigator. But that's what they get paid for. Fact of the matter is, someone gives you the type of info Paterno received, you turn it over to the police that very second.

So, are you telling me if somebody bends you over against your will and has their way, you're just going to shrug your shoulders and say, 'What's the point? These guys are hard to catch? and go on about your business. What if it was one of your own kids? I think not.
