I feel sorry for Joe Paterno. He was an old man at the end of his career. He was juggling a lot of balls running a major football program. Someone came up to him and said one of your staff is suspected of being a pedo and he brushed it aside running the team. Yes, he was wrong in doing nothing but give him a play he was a few years from dying from old age.

Knew of it for at least 13 years and did nothing

13 years they were investigating him and he knew?  13 years without an arrest?

E-mail uncovered by Freeh's investigators included an email chain between Curley and Schultz regarding a previous incident between Sandusky and another child in 1998 that the district attorney declined to prosecute after an investigation by State College police and an evaluation by the department of public welfare. On May 13, 1998, in an email captioned "Jerry," Curley asked Schultz, "Anything new in this department? Coach is anxious to know where it stands." Curley testified more than nineteen years later in the 2017 criminal trial against Spanier that the "coach" who wanted to know where it stands was Paterno.

Filthy man who is hopefully rotting in hell.

He was a legend among football fans and players and now he's a legend for turning his head the other way when he could have stopped it.

You can't say he was unaware of what was going on because he was frail, old and naive yet sing his priases as he was the "ceo" of an elite football program.

Paterno is garbage and got everything he deserved!

even sadder about this situation is how much of this has been going on for the last 100 years to this day in all sports, entertainment, politics and media which is a hell of alot of "Don't ask nor acknoeledge, everything is fine" attitude out there

I wonder if they'll include this famous moment in the movie

he knew since the 70's and did nothing

an 85 year old man should not be running anything let alone a college football program, should've been forced to retire 15 years earlier

Even if it is, Al is not aging well.  This is what decades of booze and cigs do to you.
