Uncovered Joe Paterno news offers varying emotional reactions

New information was uncovered Thursday night regarding Joe Paterno's knowledge of Jerry Sandusky sexually molesting little boys. The former Penn State head coach was allegedly made aware of his defensive coordinator's deviant acts as early as 1976, per court papers discovered by PennLive.

The news sparked all types of reaction from sports fans, Penn State alums and pretty much anyone who heard the gruesome details. For some, it can be difficult to criticize Paterno because of what he meant to them and the university. For others, they can't believe anyone would actually support Paterno, considering his lack of action.
