paterno was trying to save the school's image, he didn't condone raping kids... im sure he met with sandusky and was like "look, we know what you are doing, and stop, or we will fire you (or some other threat)", and then he didnt stop so they fired him.
paterno was doing what he thought was least damaging, and thought chatting with what he thought was a reasonable man would fix the issue.
yes he did the wrong action, but i think if you were in that situation it would be much more difficult a decision than you all seem to think it is
you are the worlds dumbest smart person
im not even sure trying to explain all of the ways you are wrong is worth the effort, but here goes.

if this is your central motive then you are already wrong. additionally, the schools image would have been better served by immediately telling the authorities everything. this would have benefited the university far more. then you could say "hey, that dirty bastard no longer works here, we turned his ass in and fired him". thats great PR. and as ive said before no one gives two shits about the school president or the athletic director, we dont even know their names. every fucking sports fan alive knows joe paterno. its his reputation that even made penn state have a reputation.

"hey man, i know you are a sick fuck who does sick fuck things but id really like you to stop because, you know, sick fucks can stop doing sick fuck things. if you dont we will not let you work here any more but feel free to still stop on by for your little sick fuck foundation that you can still do here." yep, super effective.

see above, sick fucks are not reasonable. maybe we can reason with you while papa jerry does these things to you.

how difficult would it be for the most powerful man at the institution to stand up and say "i want this dirt bag out of here for good, and i want the cops called right now"? seriously, there is no difficult decision to be made. now i will say i get the point about turning in a friend or long-time coworker. and if i find out one of them likes to fuck little boys and i decide im not calling the cops, dont you think i should at least make sure he never does it again? and never in the work environment that i control?
seriously, whats wrong with you
