“I’ve been a sports fan – and, more accurately, a football fan – my entire life. This is far and away the worst of the worst…

… and it has made me come to hate the culture of college football.”

UD finds it interesting that no one is attempting to characterize the Penn State scandal as unique or peculiar or an outlier or anything.

  1. AJ Says:

    It’s pretty astounding that Sandusky’s wife tried to interfere with a witness to a Grand Jury Investigation. If the little people tampered with a material witness to a Grand Jury Investigation, then they’d be spending some heavy duty time in the slammer. The key phrase in that last sentence was, of course, “the little people.”

    But that’s a key aspect of this whole thing – Penn State was seen as an outlier because its football program was “clean” and scandal-free. The shock is that PSU is not unique (which is why some students reacted as they did).
