This article was founded in the LA Times. It was written by Mark Viera. Joe Paterno, has been coaching over forty years, and has the most wins in college footbal history, as well as the most bowl wins. On Wednesday, he was fired by Penn State. Graham B. Spanier, was one of the longest serving and highest paid presidents of all time. They were fired because they had a failure to act in the sexual abuse scandal involving a prominent former assistant coach. The Board of Trustees was ashamed by the decision they had to make, but it had to be done. Paterno said that he wanted to retire at the end of the season, but he was released before the end of the season.
This is a very embarrassing article, because a major issue like sexual assault on college coaches is very inappropriate. I feel disgusted about this topic because it is not right for a serious topic like this to be kept silent for so many years. As good of a coach Paterno was, he deserved to be fired. He had a great career, but after this his college years and reputation definitely went down the drain. All the hard work for nothing. If I was the president of the school, I would also feel disgusted for such an action. I hope an action like this never happens again, especially in the sports world. This is unacceptable, and Paterno is as guilty as the one who committed it because he knew about it and never opened his mouth.
