Football is one of the greatest sports in this planet. It has been cheered yelled and even booed upon by many spectators young and old alike for it gives a different rush of adrenaline. From this sport came out a name that stands out among the best and became eventually a well celebrated man, he is Joe Paterno. Joe or joepa as he is commonly known is the head coach of Penn State Nittany Lions for nearly 46 years, from 1966 until 2011.
Joe Paterno, the name that has lead his team to numerous victories is also synonymous to controversy. He was accused of covering sexual abuses and failing to protect children from Jerry Sandusky (assistant coach). His tenure as head coach went down the drain for he was fired.
22nd of July, news came in stating that the statue of Joe Paterno, the land mark in Pennsylvania State University was literally removed for tension that indicated Paterno's involvement was more than just a cover up.
It's such a shame, after all the recognitions that he has achieved, everything went down the drain stripping him to a mere mortal, but his records and being a hall of famer will always be immortalized in the annals of football history.
