Joe Paterno

A picture is worth a thousand words. Ashton Kutcher posted the image of himself posing with an "I'm with stupid" sign after his insensitive and uninformed remarks about fired Penn State coach Joe Paterno. The tweet that stirred the controversy read:

The Penn State Board of Trustees announced Thursday it is firing longtime football coach Joe Paterno, as well as university president Graham Spanier. Both officials are accused of not reporting to police knowledge of sexual abuses against children by a member of their staff.

Legendary coach Joe Paterno may be in his final days on the sidelines at Penn State, according to The New York Times. The report cites two unnamed sources close to the PSU Board of Trustees who say that, while the exact timing and manner of his exit is still being discussed, it is clear that Paterno will not be back to coach the Nittany Lions next season.
