Somebody who I follow on Twitter said that if an older woman who is into younger men are "cougars", are older men who are into boys "Nittany Lions"?

Last Tuesday, Joe Paterno, who was one of college football's most-prolific coaches and led the Penn State Nittany Lions football team to two national championships was fired from the team after 46 seasons for his involvement in the horrific sex abuse scandal that has rocked State College. Paterno - who outlived both my grandfathers - had a 409-136-3 record coaching the Lions.

JoePa's firing without a doubt saddened and angered his supporters. Riots ensued later in the evening with supporters and students alike tipping over TV station trucks. One of the PennState trustees who fired him and college president Graham Spanier claimed that they had no choice to fire them because they knew about former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky's years of sexual abuse with young boys.

Sandusky was indicted on 40 counts of sex with eight young boys as young as seven years old. He would often shower with them, performing sex acts on them. One witness to Sandusky's crimes was assistant coach Mike McQuery, who told Paterno of Sandusky's abuse. Paterno did report to his athletic director, but the only action taken was that Sandusky was no longer allowed to bring children into the athletic building.

The children were a part of Sandusky's Second Mile program, designed to help troubled young boys. He retired from coaching in 1999 after 31 years serving as Paterno's assistant. He remained as an emeritus with the football program, even with Paterno and McQuery's knowledge of his sexual abuse.

With Paterno's firing, Tom Bradley is now interim head coach. They lost Saturday's game against Nebraska, 17-14. Players for both teams bowed in prayer to honor the victims or Sandusky's sex crimes.

The tragedy is that Sandusky's a sicko, and Paterno and McQuery and others kept allowing him with his escapades. They made sure that Penn State's image was kept sanitized over the years instead of telling the truth about Sandusky's sickness. Even worse, there's still people in Pennsylvania angry over Paterno's firing because he's a national icon who made PennState what it is today.

Good guy or not, Paterno fucked up. Instead of preventing more actions from Sandusky, he was more about preserving the Lions' image. Because he and the rest of PennState refused to do anything about Sandusky, they let it fly and Sandusky's abuse continued. Sorry, but JoePa's image is tarnished for life. Anybody who supports a man who knew about this child abuse for such a long time needs their head examined.

In child abuse, there are no champions.
