Penn State
the fact that so many penn state people are personally offended by the freeh report and anyone saying anything negative about joe paterno in general just further proves my point that penn state is a cult
Sorry, it’s not a cult. Fill in Penn State with any other major university with a big-time football program and the reaction would be the same. Are there dozens of “cults” in the US? I guess. I don’t think of it that way. That simplifies it. It is rather a part of American culture. Don’t get me wrong, I love college football, and I hate what happened at Penn State. (Check out my Rant of the Day posted earlier.) But, today the “scandal of the century” happened at PSU. Tomorrow it could happen at Florida, Michigan, or Oklahoma. In fact, it is destined to do so, I don’t know when, and I don’t know where. The reason: Americans rarely learn from their mistakes while history tends to repeat. And riots at those schools will make what happened in State College, November 2011, look tame in comparison.
