Talk:Joe Paterno

The quotation box
I think that the quotation box at Joe Paterno presents a neutrality issue. It features two pulled quotations, one directly from the accused and one taking the position that the accused was innocent. I don't think a quotation from the Freeh report should be added—because I think then the impulse will be to add a quote from the response to the Freeh report, and a response to the response, on end—but I'd suggest that the box should be removed entirely (or perhaps limited to the Paterno quotation).--2604:2000:1742:A11F:E8F1:593B:E169:738F (talk) 01:49, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree that the quotation box presents a neutrality issue. The appropriate remedy is to remove the box entirely. Jeff in CA (talk) 09:01, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Wording seems baseless and non-neutral concerning Freeh report
In the "Posthumous Findings" subsection, Freeh's findings are labeled a "mischaracterization" for unclear reasons and wording that specifies "press" as the ones "inferring" from it further baselessly spins a subtly doubtful undertone. The three sources for this line are two news articles that do not suggest that the Freeh report "mischaracterized" anything (presumably, this is supposed to evidence the "inferred by press" line) as well as a broken link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FRKatona (talk • contribs) 18:56, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Agreed. Reads like this was written by a cabal of PS alums. Gag. No one us fooled. But that is wiki for you. Never an issue it can't bias. NaySay (talk) 18:29, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

JoePa
This is a comment about the issue regarding a misinforming fact. Joe Paterno at no point concealed any information about Sandusky. This was cleared in 2015 during the reinvestigation when they returned his titles to Penn State. A more accurate representation of Paterno's name is that he was used as a scape goat. It is widely known that this is true. I don't mean to be rude about all this, but it is horrible that you paint Penn State and Paterno in such a horrible light in this article. Paint Snadusky in that light, not Paterno. 2600:1700:840:5DD0:392F:8529:9317:FD93 (talk) 03:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
