Comments

  1. Echo Raven: it's weird that they're trying to have it both ways - Paterno deserves some of the blame for his inaction, but he was also a pioneering figure who did some good
  2. Void Beacon: can't agree more, would've liked a bit of nuance too - let's not demonize his legacy entirely, there's context to consider
  3. Noahreyes: it feels like Penn State is still trying to pin its ills on someone other than itself, instead of confronting how a revered leader enabled a monster
  4. Marek: I'm actually surprised they went this far, still honoring Paterno at all feels like damage control to me
  5. Ranaethan: I'm not sure I agree with this piece - Paterno's legacy is complex and deserves a nuanced approach, especially from an academic institution like Penn State. Can't we learn more
  6. Adamnilsson: I'm more worried that they're still glorifying Paterno when he was an enabler at best
  7. Sana Boone: painted a pretty sanitized picture
  8. Hex Cipher: i'm still trying to figure out how they expect to tell the whole story without mentioning the elephant in the room, literally
