[TRIGGER WARNING: rape]
One father’s bold stand at Penn State: John Marko spent his time before Saturday’s Penn State game holding up signs protesting the school’s child abuse scandal. “Put abused kids first,” one said. “Don’t be fooled, they all knew. Tom Bradley, everyone must go.” It was a tough crowd. To give an idea of what he dealt with for holding it up, here’s one comment he got: “That is such bull–-! Who the f– do you think you are?” He got nailed by a beer and hit in the stomach. But he stayed out there anyway, holding up his signs.

From the full article:
“Not now, man,” one student said, shaking his head. “This is about the football players.”
..Are you fucking kidding me??
oh for fucks sake
but its ALWAYS been about the football players. that’s the fucking problem.
“Not now, man,” one student said, shaking his head. “This is about the football players.”
Ugh, are you kidding me?
I commend this man.
As for the students, other than my friend who has already expressed her extreme disgust at her fellow classmates actions, I wish they’d shut the fuck up for a minute and actually use that critical thinking they should have been taught. “Support football or abused kids” should NOT be a difficult question. Unfortunately, this is how the majority of our universities work in the US. Fucking admins, fucking students, fucking asshat abuser/abuser protecting coaches.
^^This.
Sport and power blinds people to so much. Its pathetic.
This guy is awesome. Everything about the shit that’s gone down at Penn State makes me so angry and I’m glad that there...
What a brave man.
