If you riot because of the firing of an enabler of a pedophile

[DainBramaged]

what does it make you?


If you riot because of the firing of an enabler of a pedophile


how would you feel if it was your child?



If you think sports is more important than protecting children


what does that make you?


Shame.

[snooper2]

1. It makes you A: a loser

B: a fucking idiot
C: a fucking idiot

[progressoid]

3. D: All of the above

[Myrina]

9. Agreed, All of the above.

It just goes to show, in my humble opinion, what an unhealthy level of importance we have placed on sports/sports figures, elevating them to "God-like-status" and valuing them above most else.

Sad commentary on who we are as a species.

[bluedave]

11. yep

but in defense-we are fresh outta the trees as a species.

[MarianJack]

5. Perhaps...

...a fucking idiot loser?

PEACE!

[Liberal Veteran]

2. Sports fans and rioting is a bit too common for my taste.

[rhett o rick]

4. Nothing is more important than a successful football program. nm

[leeroysphitz]

30. Looks that way, anyhow. n/t

[SpiralHawk]

6. ...An embracer of Republicon Family Cesspool Values

Their role models are a legion of hypocritical moral midgets --

[freshwest]

42. Yep, the teabaggers finally rioted...

[GoCubsGo]

7. Shame, indeed.

What the hell is wrong with those people?

[dkf]

37. They riot when they win too.

I don't get violence period. Just keep me out of it.

10. Something other than

the moral police.


Not defending Paterno or Penn State here.

I'd like to see legal charges rather than moral outrage.

While moral outrage is appropriate and has its place, it is also the stuff of anit-abortionists, gay haters and fundies.

[ehrnst]

12. I'll bet they all have season tickets, they have no kids, and vote

Republican.

[Myrina]

20. Well now, that's an awful broad brush ...

... they're caught up in 'defending their territory' (their college/"clan"/community/attachment that gives them identity).
Not all logic-based-cylinders are firing for them, at present, IMO.

[Warpy]

13. It makes you a punk ass dimwitted jock by proxy who thinks he knows everything

at the age of eighteen and who doesn't think about anything but having his favorite toy (football) taken away from him even though it's not being taken away.

[Marrah_G]

17. That was way more then just jocks

The whole thing was revolting to see

[backscatter712]

14. Meanwhile, the Breittards are harping about a few individuals behaving badly at Occupy events...

that the rest of the Occupiers refuse to go along with.

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. +1000000!

And those individuals behaving badly are most likely, NOT Occupiers at all.

[LynneSin]

15. All of this reminds me of the movie "The Accused", which was based on a RL crime

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Accused_(1988_film)

It wasn't that they went after the men that raped the girl, but then the decided to go after the other men in the bar that cheered on the rapists while they raped the girl.

A crime was committed and no one called the police. The others were just as guilty as those that did the actual rape.

33. Jodi Foster without looking, a landmark film that went unnoticed until she won the Academy Award

[WinkyDink]

16. It's just a pre-game rally!

[coalition_unwilling]

18. A Fratboy - n/t

[LiberalEsto]

19. K&R

It makes me sad that college kids would raise hell over an issue like this.

Why aren't they "occupying" something to protest high college tuition and the destruction of the middle class via corporatism?

[DainBramaged]

25. Because they may not give a shit about moral values, being raised by Pukes

Penn State is not a poor man's college.

[Yavin4]

21. These Riots Are Symbolic of Our Twisted Modern Ethos: Win At All Costs

No matter the moral implications. Just win.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. yup

[mstinamotorcity]

22. Obviously

people who are not attending class. Lack of Knowledge. Love of Football. Ridiculous!!!

[durablend]

24. Republican family values at work!

Gotta love em! :sarcasm:

[mstinamotorcity]

27. lol

lol

[edbermac]

26. I hope those punks are arrested and kicked out of college.

:spank:

[Blue_Tires]

28. my thoughts exactly

[Orsino]

29. Tea partiers rallied to keep people from seeing doctors. n/t

[OhioChick]

31. It makes you one fucked up individual n/t

[JuniperLea]

34. It makes you one sick fuck...

End of story.

Fucking idiots.

[Blue Owl]

35. What a Friend We Have in Football

:eyes:

[TacoD]

36. There is no god but football, and Joe Pa is its prophet. (nt)

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

38. A republican? nt

[KurtNYC]

39. "Fan" is short for fanatic n/t

[Initech]

40. Apparently football is more important than anything it seems...

:banghead:

[DainBramaged]

41. It is simply because Republicans and their children have corrupted souls.

And only material things and instant gratification mean more that the safety of someone elses children.
