for guys like you winning is the most inportant thing, you dont care if they raped some kids or what ever as long as they arw winning they are ok in your book
We live in a sport culture. As I stated before, look at all the people who were backing Paterno, after he was exposed for doing the bare minimum about child abuse. I may also add that in some states, only doing the bare minimum in reporting child abuse is against the law! I do not know if that law applies in Penn. But given that Paterno was an authority figure in a university, it makes him a MANDATED REPORTER. Obviously, MANY people turned against Paterno, as they should have, however many people continued to back him. Why would they back a person who covered up child abuse? Its an interesting understanding of how large groups function. But for many people, they want to win at all cost, even if other people are victimized in the process. This is a huge issue in many sport organizations who cover up instances of crime, so their star quarterback can keep playing.
