That's one of the things that I got from this investigation. Had they not sent emails out and just kept this to private conversations, half of the people implicated now wouldn't be implicated.
Penn State?

Thanks.
Wow. It's clear that you're a tool, but this is too much. It's not about a single business, it's about ALL of them. The bars, the restaurants, the mom & pop spots, etc. Not to mention the loss of IN STADIUM jobs, Penn State related memorabilia, ticket sales, food and beverage sales, beer sales, etc. How about all of the people employed by the stadium? Vendors, broadcasters, camera men, ushers, security, janitorial, etc. I could go on and on, but will that really change the mind of a fool? Doubtful. But you go right ahead and YOU SHOW 'EM WHO'S BOSS, BABY!!! Yee Haw!!!
Just wanted to also point out that you're a Ute fan, so this kind of stupidity kinda goes without saying. Well done, *** clown.
That's an easy thing for you to say. If you were in their shoes, you would be singing an entirely different story. It is certainly not the fault of some restaurant owner in Happy Valley that these dickwads covered up that disgusting asshat.
They could use the stadium for something else.
The people who stop spending their money on football games will spend their money on something else,
and support other jobs. Aren't you a free market capitalist, Ayn Rand , creative destruction, and all that.

If there are a rash of robberies in a neighborhood, the businesses in that neighborhood suffer. If you send a guy to prison to prison, his family suffers. If the coporate leadership of a company make illegal decisions that cast that company huge amounts of money, the stockholders and employees suffer. No other place in the criminal justice system do we hold off on punishing the guilty for the sake of collateral damage. Why is this an exception?
Would any action be taken prior to this upcoming season? It doesn't seem likely to me. So, even if the football program was scrapped, people would at least have some time to come up a plan to deal with it. Also, good business owners are smart and can usually find ways to get by when times get tough. Now as for One Brow's comments about not holding off on punishing the guilty for the sake of collateral damage, there are cases of crimes that require jail time when the convicted party may serve their jail time on weekends while being allowed to work during the week for the sake of their families. It's not entirely holding off, but it is to a point.

This may be the worst analogy ever. They are going to send those who committed crimes to prison. Their families will suffer, their business (penn st) will suffer. If the corporate leadership in a company covers up a child molester, they don't shut down the company, they send the people involved to prison and new leadership is hired to try and right the ship.

You said you had me on ignore you lying son of a bitch!
Whether a private company would be shut down or not depends on it's owner(s) and the prosecutors. Penn State is owned the sate of Pennsylvania, so we'll see what they say. However, if the prosecutors feel a culture of corruption has been woven into the fabric of the football program, they most likely can move to close down that program. If you run a restaurant as a front for money laundering, there is no reason to think the restaurant will be allowed to stay open when the launderers are caught.
no, I am right.

nope
I'd love to see any proof of this happening, ever.
I doubt it, but would love to see any shred of proof.
How about if the restaurant is revealed to have had a pattern of child molestation in the back room?
You think they might have issues with lawsuits, penalties, losing licenses, regulatory scrutiny, ruined public image and goodwill, employee moral, owners and management fleeing the community in shame, shunning by banks, suppliers? I'm sure this will be a popular restaurant after this.
You really think people would be investing in that business, rather than just shutting down , and retiring or starting over elsewhere?

Wellll captain tard, the offending parties would be fired and sent to prison, I'm sure business would slow down considerably, I guess its possible if it was a small mom and pop restaurant and enough people were involved making it impossible for the business to continue to function then I guess it would be shut down. But it wouldn't be the government doing it, it would be the lack of employees and management that made it necessary to close.
