Arizona Cardinals Players Weigh In On Penn State Scandal
Over the past few days, the one ports story that has dominated everything has been what has been going on with Penn State with the things that Jerry Sandusky is accused of, the firing of Joe Paterno and everything else. Since almost everyone has had an opinion on the subject, it is completely understandable that the players on the Cardinals would have opinions.
Not all of them were the same.
OT Levi Brown attended Penn State and played under Paterno. He has two degrees from the university. Kent Somers wrote what Brown had to say about the situation there at his alma mater.
"All I know is what I've heard on TV. I really just want whoever is involved in this situation to get the full punishment they're supposed to get under the law. That's what needs to happen."
Asked if that included school officials and coaches, Brown replied: "Whoever is involved. If you knew and you didn't do what you were supposed to do, seriously, there are kids involved. I'm trying to have kids myself. Just think about all the parents who had so much faith in the university and what it stood for. It's just a big letdown."
He did not mince words and appears to have no problem with Paterno being let go.
Kicker Jay Feely, thanks to the Cardinals victory on Sunday, is active on Twitter again and has been vocal about the subject for a while. His timeline is full of comments on the subject. However, one tweet sums up his thoughts:
Young cornerback A.J. Jefferson has a different opinion.
However, things changed after Feely versed him in the history of the situation. He later tweeted that he thinks that everyone in the program should be fired.
Darnell Dockett also chimed in:
I don't know where you stand on the whole thing. It is just sickening. It isn't really related to the Cardinals, but with as much as what was being said, the players here are even talking about it.

Perverts with cash will be allowed to take advantage of kids everytime.
Kids and parents were seduced with cash, gifts, and access to sporting events in exchange for close relationships with young boys.
The latest rumors are that a group of wealthy Penn State boosters/pediphiles were allowed to have sex with these boys in exchange for donations to the athletic program and Penn State. Sandusky apparently was using his Second Mile program to feed his perversion for little boys and to supply other wealthy “Chicken hawks” with fresh victims.
This story sickens me, especially when I recall all the years my boys were involved in youth sports (football, baseball, basketball, swimming). They each had heros they looked up to in the pros and college.
This is a sad day when it may be better to hold your kids away from sports because the perverts have control of the system. This is the tip of the iceberg. I have a feeling all sports, social and political arenas that involve children will be shown to be nothing more than Pedophile playgrounds for the wealthy.
Protect your kids and watch them closely until they reach 18 and are on their own. Do your job as a parent! It makes me sick to even discuss this possibility but the powers that be are moving to make Pedophilia legal and acceptable social behavior.
What to watch for:
1) Multiple victims coming forward in the future (if they have not been bought off). This story goes back over a decade, maybe two.
2) Names of pedophiles being with held pending investigation.
3) Adult men from politics, law enforcement, the business community as well as Education (teachers, professors, administrators) rumored to be involved. Then the story will disappear.

The flow of money into Penn State kept Sandusky and his guys around campus and the kids. Thats why everyone, including Paterno, looked the other way. That is a sin!
Glad to see those responses
I was completely pissed off when I heard there were RIOTS by students in response to the firing of Joe Paterno. Are you effing kidding me?!?! I’m with DD on this, if that had been one of my children that had been molested due to the administration not turning this scumbag p.o.s. in, I would be out for literal blood. If Joe knew he needs to be charged, and whether he is or not, I see serious lawsuits against individuals and the university coming up, and they deserved to get hammered in Civil as well as Criminal court.
"The true test of a person's intellligence is how much they agree with you."
Penn State is going to get crucified in court
If the story is accurate as reported – molestation was witnessed the information was passed all the way up to Paterno and Univ president who did nothing – the verdicts could literally close the school
Verdicts could be in the hundreds of millions per victim – and will not be dischargeable in BK – the victims are likely to end up being the owners of Penn State by the time this is over – and they should be.
I will never understand how someone could look the other way while children are being molested.
