I think BITB hit it out of the park today when talking about this not being about this crime, but how major sports teams cover up things in general. In no other business, setting, etc. does no one call the cops, at least eventually, but Penn State isn't alone in their actions. He surmises, and I would agree, that a strong majority of major sports teams would have handled the situation in a similar manner.
It's pretty sickening, but he is right.
It depends on the crime. Forget about the sports team, just take yourself as an example. Your best friend drives home drunk. Do you call the cops? He beats up some dude in a bar fight. Cops? He kills a hooker. Cops? In all of the instances, I figure out how to help my friend and/or keep him out of jail. Now, if he finger fucks an 8 year old, I pistol whip him to within an inch of his life, then I call the cops. It's all relative to the crime imo. People turn a blind eye to crimes everyday whether it's sports related or not, this is egregious simply because of the crime.
Fuktard just blew my mind.
I get what you are saying, but the point of BITB's rant was that PSU covering this type of thing up is a symptom not that actual problem. They cover it up because they believe that their team, program, etc. is worth more, does too much good, to be given a black-eye. No other rough ridin' place does this happen. BTB is simply saying, and I agree that this situation would, sadly, play out in the same manner at a majority of big time college football programs.
I have little confidence that KSU and HCBS would handle it any differently than PSU did.
