Joe Paterno, the Ivy League-educated coach who transformed sleepy Penn State University into a national football power with an academics-based philosophy only to see his career end abruptly and his legacy tarnished by a child sex abuse scandal involving a former assistant coach, has died.

I saw a post on facebook about this just now. Why is it after someone dies they're forgiven by everyone? Dude was a rapist, children everywhere should be having parties in the streets. It doesn't make sense to me that we're about to see tons of people talking about how awesome of a coach he was and how sad he's gone. Common, he raped kids. I'll never think "good coach" when I think "Joe Paterno" again.
