Keith Olbermann's turn

KO probably wants to spend a few days in Florida anyway.

It's worth a public wrist-slap/reprimand, no more.

Fundraising for the pediatric hospital is great, but it doesn't wash PSU clean of the other stuff.

 

I'd be able to stomach Olbermann a lot more if everything wasn't a nuclear war with him.

Pound Penn State for the other stuff? No argument. This seemed almost like it was something he sought out because he was bored and needed something to be "THIS IS THE WORST THING IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!!!!" about.

 

My problem with it is that the widow shows up and it becomes another celebration for the Cult of a Paterno. There’s certainly a discussion to be had about it and PSU patting itself on the back so hard for this given its history is distasteful. But KO didn't try to have a serious discussion or present an argument, he just wanted to piss them off.

 

As Washington, D.C., radio host Scott Linn wisely said recently, "This thing is like a 140 character resignation letter, always in your hand."

 

Please tell me there was more to it than was described in the link.

I'm no fan of KO, but that hardly deserves a suspension.

A pediatric hospital is great, but it doesn't erase the shame that comes with enabling, and covering up for a serial abuser of young children, who operated in plain site, right under your nose.

And, it's typical of their fans to not realize their reputation is still in tatters.

 

Unless you believe the buildings on campus committed some of the crimes, you're not making sense. People committed the atrocities, and all the people that committed the atrocities are gone. Should they burn down all the buildings, too?

 

Uh oh. Starman and YF are not gonna like this. That evil student body - the ones that enabled and covered up abuse of children when those students weren't even in elementary school yet - have been named Best Person in Sports. At least Starman can take comfort that it's Fox so it doesn't count.

Fox Sports 1 Names Penn State Student Body Its 'Best Person In Sports' - Onward State

 

Why haven't O.J. Simpson's kids been jailed yet?

 

Because they are atheists?

 

The students and alum handled the Sandusky rapes with real class.

 

This is going to prompt me to take Fox Sports 1 as seriously as I have always taken it.

 

Olberman is an ass. That's the long and short of it.
He absolutely deserved to be suspended.
