Penn State students just don’t get it…
Upon the NCAA lifting the sanctions on Penn State’s football program, student’s took to the streets of State College, PA to celebrate and chant the name of former coach Joe Paterno who played a huge role in the program getting penalized in the first place. And that role Paterno played… helping protect a serial child rapist for at least a decade (I know I’m probably being generous when it comes to the years).
According to Deadspin, student’s also chanted ‘where’s the statue’ referring to the Paterno statue that was taken down from in front of Beaver Stadium.

It's obvious which sanction the students want the @NCAA to repeal next. #409. https://t.co/nGfgZSAQlV

Quite frankly the students should once again be ashamed of themselves. For their initial reactions to Paterno being forced to resign and now this. Then again though our societal priorities are completely screwed up. Because why should we continue to ruin a perfectly good Saturday afternoon in State College?
