Joe Paterno passed away Sunday and was one of the most iconic coaches in college football. A vigil was held by Penn State students and alumni at State College.
Some of the students left behind positive memorabilia while others left material like in the picture above. I wasn’t aware that the Penn State Board of Trustees had the ability to give someone lung cancer which is what this picture suggests. (HT @RunTheDive)
The fact of the matter is that Joe Paterno didn’t die of a broken heart or anything having to do with his firing or Jerry Sandusky like some of the media is suggesting. He passed away because of Lung Cancer.
I’d be interested to see what some of the other written-on newspapers in the area say. This was so predictable, and yet so profoundly idiotic, that I have to think it’s incredibly isolated. And yet, of course, if there is one of these out there, it’s going to make a provocative photo.
Anyway, would be interesting to know just how prevalent this mindset is out there and how those expressing are being treated by the other mourners.
Good point
