So, Joe Paterno died today at the age of 85 from lung cancer complications. This makes me sad. :( It is sad that his legacy is now tarnished by someone else's evils. Now, I may have incorrect information, but it is my understanding that as soon as Joe Paterno heard about the terrible incident that brought this scandal to light, he notified authorities. What more could he do?
Obviously, according to the media and the school that he served well for so many years, it wasn't enough. They took away everything that he worked for and most of what he lived for. This is what can happen when you beat up an 85 year old. They shut down, how could he go on? Why fight the fight of cancer any longer when you are just fighting to stay in a life of scandal and ridicule. Joe Paterno is another casualty of the media sharks!
