Faith in Humanity

    Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been really busy with school work and what not, but what I wanted to talk about is faith in humanity. If any of you have been watching the news then you know what is a HUGE news story right now (for those that don't click this link) The news media is taking this incident and  using it to make it sensational, it isn't enough that they have a man who is a pedophile and two people higher up than Joe getting canned. No they have to go after the only guy who did anything about it. He did report it two his two higher ups he tried to do something about the incident. There is no evidence of him trying to cover anything up. If you want further proof during his retirement speech all I repeat ALL of the players gave him a standing ovation. If the players who were closest to their coach didn't think he did anything wrong; I say this because they were not forced to give a standing ovation, why should the rest of the public.

    It bothers me that the public is so easily swayed that they can persecute a man that did what he could and was the only one to stand up and do what was right. It also bothers me that the university that this man took to 409 wins would so easily just give him up to this angry mob and basically force him to retire.

    If you do the right thing and are still considered the "bad guy" you have to question what type of society it is that we live in. But ultimately you have to question your faith in humanity.

  1. Well... As he just got fired, I'm assuming that they have a good reason - like that he didn't tell the police about the molestation... So yeah, maybe if he had then it would be okay but I still think it was legit.

  2. He did he told the Campus Police and they did do an investigation and then they closed the investigation. The campus police are a fully sanctioned police station by the way.
