From what i have read about the movie is they will say JoPa had one fatal flaw, he saw himself only as the University Football Coachm nothing more; and when he passed on the MISLEADING watered down info from that creep assistant coacn Coach M.(i saw some playful rough housing in the shower--when he saw a lot more, and did NOHING but walk away, and later became tight friends with Sandusky: a man Jo Pa disliked---Sanduky didn't resign, Joe fired him for skipping too many practices and spending most his time with his charity school---which Jo had no suspicions about--he just didn't like Sandusky loafing as a football coach--they never had a friendly relationship) He passed on Coach M.(i depise that cowardly creep, glad to see court threw out his damage suit against PSU, on basis his case was GROUNDLESS) info to schooll authorities on the absolute conviction it was an out side the Footballl program, matter, and was out the University, and it was their Job.He trusted they were doing their job. The supposed e-mail that supposedly revealed Jo Pa had previous knowledge is rubbish.  The fatal flaw, not realizing he wasn't just a football coach, he was the icon of th whole University and the slightest hint of his guilt, though unfounded would become just the thing the Media Feeds on, and they swept down  like Harpies, at, "Hey, wow can we get a huge media event and rating rating ratings, all we have to do is DESTROY Paterno, wow, the public loves to eat their potato chips and cookies on their couch and join in on the fun of media manipulated LYNCHING of an Icon. If the media said Paterno was innocent, NO ONE would watch, the ratings would go down--media decision/ we destroy paterno BECAUSE it  is cha-ching cha-ching, catch any newscaster pleading Paterno's  innocence fire him.  Hell Franco Harris was attacked  a  massive swarm of media bees for saying he believed Joe was innocent.  He was publicly damned, and it was called for his being fired from ESPN.  It was the media and the public mindcontrolled by media that led to  a  hideous "we want blood" circus--that left Joe sobbing, "My Whole Life Has Been Destroyed, everthing i ever worked for, demolished, by this media frenzy."  Hell the name Sandusky was secondary to the news people.  And regards the idiots of america , a poll revealed 50% of americans  thought Paterno was guilty of the same crimes of Sandusky, that they worked together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    i hope the Paterno family wins their law suit against the NCAA---as they were as culpable as the mass media in the destruction of an innocent man.  Sandusky himself is  100% Psychopath,   utterly rotten to the core. An utterly evil man. Someone to be flushed down the toilet of the universe, into  its sewer--he is the truly evil.Max
