Keith Olbermann Is Done At ESPN -- And Penn State Is The Reason -- Part Two: More Thoughts

I've said it from Day One.

There is no penalty within the law that's enough.

There's no penalty OUTSIDE THE LAW that's enough.

But this is getting to the point that the only real remaining question is whether Penn State University wins the 2015-16 CFP, or it has to wait until 2016-17.

The "Football Over Life" thing Mark Emmert said he wanted to strike out against has subjugated the NCAA.  The NCAA now has no right to adjudicate any form of collegiate sport whatsoever, in any way, shape, or form.

This purported "University" has now partnered with ESPN (and I said, back when the "exclusive access" to the NCAA meetings on the Death Penalty were reported, that ESPN is the sole reason we still have a Penn State University, much less their football program!) to basically railroad any opposition to that "Football Over Life" mentality.

Why?  One Roger Goodell might explain it, but that's another rant.

Let's go over what happened last night:

Penn State University, at some point recently, had their annual dance marathon, and raised over $13,000,000 for pediatric cancer research for it's children's hospital.

Someone decided to throw that in Keith Olbermann's face (using typical Twitter "grammar"), and got the expected Keith Olbermann response.

Someone wailed.  (Or someone was watching...)

Either way, let's get one thing straight right now on Olbermann before I go off:  Olbermann cannot continue at ESPN under these circumstances.  Penn State has now subjugated HIM, at least in the eyes of his (soon-to-be former) employers.

It's about 6 PM Eastern as I get to this sentence.  I'm shocked he's still employed now.  In fact, let me go check.

Still there for now.

Anyway, the point I'm making is this:  Olbermann has been at war with the Penn State football community for about as long as they've shot off their fucking mouths.  There's no way he can continue with good conscience.

Now, that said, let me go further for my own benefit.

Number One:  If the Penn State mentality had been at my high school while I was growing up, I'm killed before age 18.  Perhaps far sooner than that.

We now basically have as ESPN Gospel that football is to trump everything in human existence.

So when Keith Olbermann says the following:

.@dave_seidel Again - get your $ back - you didn't learn how to read. PSU students are pitiful because they're PSU students - period.

I'm inclined to agree with him.

That mentality, which has ended any NCAA credibility it may or may not have had left, would've killed me in high school, and, in a school of about 120 students, I can think of at least two more students who would've died my senior year (both fled the school, one after snapping into violence himself because he couldn't take it anymore!).

Number Two:  Anyone still associated with Penn State University today enables the Sandusky conduct and the conduct of the Football Over Life mentality there, whether they choose to admit it or not.

And I do say ANYONE.  They may not go so far as to what I say in Number Three, and I do understand that there are members of the Penn State community who condemn the action.

The fact is simple, however:  Anyone who does not bow down to Saint Joseph and Saint Jerry is going to be ostracized eventually -- and that can go from the President of the University (who has tried -- and failed! -- in his efforts to demand moving forward) on down.

As long as Football Over Life wins, then the culture will be all-consuming, and, at that point, no one is immune.

At least there are those who are willing to condemn the past actions and try to support sanctions and moving on.

For those who aren't...

Number Three:  Anyone carrying water for Penn State's football program under Paterno and Sandusky, especially as an apologist for either or both, is either or both of a pedophile and/or an accessory to murder.

Period.

There is no polite way to put it anymore.  If you are all "Free Joe"/"409", etc., you are either effectively still raping those kids today many years later or you are an accessory to an all-but-murder almost-certainly orchestrated by Paterno to cover up the acts.

And let's never mind the FBI investigation into pimping kids for donations for your fucking University either.

If you want to carry water for this former coach and this program, then Keith Olbermann put it KINDLY.  You are an insult to sports and humanity on that simple basis alone.

Oh, and as for the $13 million...

Number Four:  Take this one from personal experience:  Some sins cannot be washed away, no matter how much good is done afterward.

And here's the kicker to that:  It's worse in your case because it took so much to overcome the absolute power your Protected Man Sandusky and your Protected Man Paterno did that to basically cover for it has destroyed the last of the NCAA, for starters.

If the money hadn't gone to an on-campus hospital, I'd have urged the donations be refused.

Fuck your $13 million.  Fuck your dance marathon.  Fuck your university.

And if that and your football team are your life, fuck your life too.

Burn it ALL to the ground!

Number Five:  ESPN, the Entertainment and Sports Pedophilia Network (or Pandering Network, depending on your take -- as my friend told me, both work!!), is streaking to the Right.

No problem at all for Curt Schilling to be a Bible-Thumping Idiot on Creationism.

Every problem at all for Michael Sam to pursue football dreams in the No ....... League...

Suspend Keith Law for calling Schilling out on his shit.

And now we have this, on top of so much else.

Why don't we just state that ESPN is now the network for Protected Man?

The Protected Man that is encouraged (and, in many circles, required) to rape, pillage, and plunder.

The Protected Man who, as long as he is a Straight, Male, God-Fearing Christian Man (who is a Football God, under breath), is The Most Important Single Commodity America Has!

FUCK -- YOU.

Oh -- to probably begin the process of transitioning to what, if reports from the Seattle Sun-Times are true -- who (again, if the reports are true!) is going to start carrying water for Dez Bryant???
