re: DeBoer was right. Athletes can play amid sexual misconduct inquiries

An assistant coach came to Paterno with allegations that another assistant coach was sexually abusing underaged boys there on campus and it was an ongoing concern that law enforcement was not aware of. At best Paterno ignored it. At worst he tried to cover it up.

This is not equivalent in any way to an adult female accusing another adult male of sexual improprieties, reporting it to law enforcement, and the school and coaches letting the justice system dictate their response. The two are not close to equivalent.

Tell me you’re a Bama fan without telling me. You don’t ignore something like that, ever, especially when it comes to children. I don’t care if he followed the rules. I do not understand why you think it’s OK to ignore something like that, when a coach comes up to you and says he witnessed someone on your staff abusing a child. Objectively speaking, that isn’t OK. But I don’t expect you to have a moral compass. If Jerry Sandusky verbally admitted in detail what he did to those kids and did it with a smile on his face, but got out on a technicality and wanted to be a defensive analyst you wouldn’t bat an eye. Bama fans, everyone.

You’re right, it’s not equivalent. It involved children.

Edit: as much as I don’t really like your posts, I realize I misread it.

Still think there’s plenty more of this to come for Bama, but, hey. Only time will tell.
