Men can't ignore sexual abuse any more. When college football in the US gets involved with an unfortunate, horrific abuse scandal, our nation notices. It can't help but notice the travesty. And that may be the only good thing to come out of this horrible event.
Penn State, the school, and its Alumni and fans are embarrassed and upset to be associated with a former coach who is accused of abusing little boys he was supposed to be helping. It appears as though it was at least eight separate young men.
I was proud to see that there is a facebook campaign amongst Penn State Alumni to donate to RAINN- that is why our country is great. Despite hardship, folks look for a positive way to take action, even if it simply means donating a few dollars. At this point, they are already raised about $500K in less than a week. And that, my friends, is impressive.
In addition, I really appreciate how outraged Alums are- check out Lavar Arrington going off about the situation, here:
