The impunity of power



No one who knows anything about the power and perversity of the jock culture is surprised.

There is a slight chance some of the leading powers at Penn State who knew all along and just covered up will stand trial and be convicted.

There is a slight chance that football at Penn State will be shut down for a few years.

We already know what happens when the abusers are priests and the coverup extends not only to the American bishops but all the way back to the Vatican.

A bare handful of small fry are punished.

Reminds you of Abu Ghraib, doesn’t it?
