Occupy Penn State: Update on the Penn State Child Sex-Abuse Scandal

Well, it's been a big day for the Penn State community in the wake of Joe Paterno's firing, the students rioting, and now the national debate over sex abuse on campus.

The rioting made me think of the occupy movement, and hence "Occupy Penn State," which the St. Louis American also thought appropiate: "Occupy Penn State."

And here's this at Boston Globe, "Penn State should cancel season, fire staff":

Penn State should cancel the rest of its football season.

Now.

Legendary coach Joe Paterno and school president Graham B. Spanier were fired by the Board of Trustees late Wednesday night and these same officials would do well to take the next step and announce the cancellation of the remainder of Penn State's football season, starting with Saturday's "big game" against Nebraska.

Then send pink slips to everyone working on the football staff.

It's time to start over, folks. This has gone on way too long already.

Interim coach Tom Bradley (on the staff since 1979, which is not a good thing) submitted to questions in a riveting and awkward press conference Thursday morning and pledged that Penn State's students and players will show "class" and "dignity" when the Nittany Lions play Nebraska.

"Let's show them what Penn State is all about," said Bradley.

And at USA Today, "Penn State's Mike McQueary will not coach against Nebraska."

And more at New York Times, "An Aspiring Coach in the Middle of a Scandal."

The Grand Jury report on Gerald Sandusky is here.
