re: #124 garhighway

This conversation reminds me of seeing sentencing hearings where the criminal pleads for leniancy because his absence (while in jail) will hurt his family.

He’s right that his family becomes one more set of victims of his bad behavior, but so what? He should have thought of that sooner.

Ditto for Penn state. When your football program becomes such a center of your institutional existance that covering up for pedophiles seems like a good idea, then you need to have your reality recalibrated.

Oh, sure, Penn State needs to make amends as an institution.

I was just pointing out that virtually any such punishment will be meted out on current students who had no responsibility for the actions of the administrators in question, which undermines the whole “you can’t suspend the program because that unfairly punishes the current players” argument.
