| Al Pacino as money grubbing Pennsylvania degenerate Joe Paterno. |
Paterno was the Republican multi-millionaire Bush supporter who was head football coach at Penn State for 45 years. He spent at least ten of those years aware that defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was molesting children in the locker room and did nothing about it.
Paterno explained in an interview that he didn't report Sandusky because he didn't know it was possible for a man to rape a boy. Asked if people reporting Sandusky's crimes to him should have been more graphic, Paterno replied, "And to be frank with you, I don't know that it would have done any good because I never heard of, of, rape and a man."
He was a devout Catholic. He must have had some awareness of the molestation scandals in the church. He knew that most of the victims were boys. What did he think they were talking about?
Look at articles about this movie in Variety. Scroll down to the comments and read simian football fans defend "JoePa", arguing that he had no legal obligation to report anything if he didn't feel like it.
Well, unless Paterno confessed his sins to a priest before he died, he's burning in hell right now.
