This is probably going to get deleted but I'm asking anyway. Ohio state has 2 sexual assault/ Pedophilia scandals going on at the same time and all I'm finding on the internet is shit about Jim Jordan. The diving scandal is hardly mentioned and according to the lawsuit that was filed there were kids from 14 different sports that were abused. I get that Jordan was a wrestling coach but why is everyone focusing on him and not THEE Ohio state university and the administration that (probably still) has hundreds of pictures of child porn that have never been turned over to authorities? I ask that this not become a political thread ( yeah, I get it, Jordan is a politician). Just try to figure out why.... At this point osu is getting a free pass.

My $0.02: For the same reason that the Jerry Sandsuky/Second Mile scandal was all about Joe Paterno (assuming, of course, that yours was not a rhetorical question).
 
I think you nailed it. Despite this being a football board the general public is very divided politically and Jordan is a poster boy for the conservative wing. If a notable liberal was tangentially involved the cons would be screaming just as loud. Agree with you, where is the the outrage toward tOSU?

Woody knew. Cooper knew. Tressel knew. Meyer knew. Griffen knew.

This isn't real hard to figure out. Jordan is an abrasive political figure who is disliked by people from both political parties. When people like that are exposed as lying hypocrites, everyone is going to line up to take their shots.

All good questions and I agree with you.

Same reason the media coverage paled in comparison to Penn Staye - Jim Jordan...big deal he’s an elected rep. He’ll get some scrutiny but it will quickly pass and appears to already be over. Mark Dantonio - Good football coach at a mid-tier program = nothing special. Media coverage barley lasted a week or two. The men’s basketball coach (what’s his name? Don’t know, don’t care and neither does the rest of the country). Joe Paterno - an icon up there with Bear Bryant and all the other coaches and players that are considered legends = media feeding frenzy. And since Joe was synonymous with Penn State, the frenzy included the university at large.

I believe you. But I can't wrap my head around how everyone.... EVERYONE, Was on this social justice crusade when Sandusky was caught.. Msu, Lasted 10 minutes..Over 300 victims, no one cares. THEE Ohio state university .. If reports are true... Thousands.
Again, no one cares. I don't get it.. Where are all the people that cared about the kids?

LOL. There never were any.....

They never existed.

It's pretty obvious to anyone paying attention that once the Paterno name got dropped into the Tom Corbett/Frank Fina dumpster fire by the sports media - this thing sparked into a national firestorm. I am watching the Internet Outrage machine crank up against Jordan for the same reason. Facts don't matter and now Jordan is being accused of being a Pedophile Protector. We can likely write this script.

However, I did have a nice conversation the other day with a veteran reporter in Ohio who is covering this story - who is more focused on the former Athletic Director Geiger and who has had a history of reporting on him. I myself still have a lot a questions about the administration at the time (cough, ED RAY, cough) and it seems that OSU is on lockdown with ANY information given to reporters. Perkins Coie is handling the "investigation" for OSU, and there is the assumption (of course) that this firm will spin things to OSU's benefit.

I am not ashamed to admit that I am a bit giddy with "Ohio State" getting these headlines - especially after all the shitty things that fan base has said and done online and in person. I never understood the vileness - over a stupid football rivalry?

Anyway - I would suspect this gives PSU fans the right to shove all this back into OSU's face come this fall. I can see the posters and banners at the tailgates and around the stadium and the trending hashtags on Twitter. And I would welcome that.

This is the rare occasion I disagree with you. I don't want to see any of that at the game.
As much as I dislike OSU their players had about as much to do with what happened as ours did. The OSU fan base included.

I agree. I don’t want even one PSU fan to mention anything. Just beat them and send them home.
 
I think the Paterno case has informed the way Jordan has handled this. Paterno was an honorable man who expected everyone to behave in the same manner. Paterno’s enemies, both political and athletic, didn’t give a damn about children and their well being. They cared about bringing him down to their level. Period.

"Sadly, some dishonest individuals have used this movement to tarnish innocent people by levying accusations before actual facts can be presented and investigations started. Then, the justice-hungry public, encouraged by eager media reporters, has already served as judge and jury — slandering a good person’s reputation"

Where have I seen this before?

Better question: when's the last time you HAVEN'T seen that before?

I agree with your first sentence--that's dead on. Don't agree with the last two sentences but I understand/respect it.
