Paterno Joins Catholic Church and Congress in American Hall of Shame

Our establishments are rotting at their cores with the lack of character.

We’ve seen Congress fall into ineptitude, with their one woman only “supercommittee” required because our elected representatives are too politically and morally beholden to corporations they can’t make decisions desperately needed to right our country’s economic tilt.

And now, the favored and privileged patriarchal world of college football has been leveled by the lack of character of the most vaunted coach in history, Joe Paterno, because no one involved had the strength of character to save little boys from an establishment who put sport first.
