When the Jerry Sandusky-Penn State case broke I was in high school. I really didn’t care much for college sports yet but my first reaction was “all of my friends who are penn state fans are going to be pissed.” That and I was appalled at how something like this is able to go on for so long without anyone saying or noticing anything.
After reading the articles from the Patriot, a few things surprised me. The first is how it was swept under the rug for so long when there was comparable evidence.
The second is the fact that so many people showed their pride. To me it displayed one of two things. The first is that they didn’t really care about what happened and just cared about a winning season. The second, however, is that they stand together as Penn State and will continue to wear the blue and white through the good times and the bad times.
