Sandusky

     The Sandusky article on Dottie Sandusky illustrated her opinion on the matter of her husband being in jail for sexually abusing 10 boys. Dottie believes that the boys came out and told the public what happened solely based on money purposes; she also believes that her husband is innocent and none of what he is being accused of happened. Dottie claims nothing happened at her house because she was always home and would have heard something. It seems as thought professional athletes and coaches are in fact above the law. Little kids look up to these big time athletes and coaches, so people don't really want kids looking at everyone in jail. Plus, I believe that at the end of the day, everyone just wants their team to win, so if letting a star athlete go, they may just do it to win. Athletes may not get off 100% clean like some other athletes, but they defiantly are more flexible if you are a big time star.
