Penn St's AD Tim Curley charge with perjury: sex abuse

[Dugout DickStone]

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.

I think Fuktard brings up a very good point.

well we all draw the line in different places, the biggest problem is that JoePa and company drew it behind child molestation.

I wouldn't be friends with a person who starts a bar fight for no reason.  If they are in a fight they didn't start or is started for legit reasons than I would pull them off when the threat is over.  I wouldn't be friends with a guy killing whores, if I knew of an incident I would call, that is someone's son or daughter.

Victimless crimes don't have the same moral culpability as rough ridin' a child. Buzz driving isn't finger banging a child left in your care.

Dude  

You had a really solid rough ridin' post there until you let your friend get away with killing a hooker.

So would you agree or disagree that the "in-house" mentality taken by PSU in this whole ordeal would be the same or very similar action taken by the majority of BCS football programs had this situation came up at their school?  Would you agree that this is the real problem and that the Sandusky cover-up is merely a symptom of a larger problem?

No.  I would hope that a persons moral obligation would supersede "team" when it relates to a crime of this magnitude.  I do NOT think most schools/people would sweep this under the rug.

[Fuktard]

You people and your defense of hookers....jeez.  I mean I like hookers as much as the next guy but the thought that it's not at least somewhat acceptable to kill one of them is a little bizarre.

What if it's an 8 year old hooker?

I was pretty sure of my stance on these, but what about this hypothetical: friend gets in bar fight, drives home from the bar, but hits an 8 year old hooker and molests the dying body of said hooker.  Then what?
