N.O.W. and Coach Paterno
Guilty Before Innocent?
Occasionally, a news story emerges that really grabs attention, and recently, one such story involved the National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) and Coach Joe Paterno of Penn State. It all started when Coach Paterno made some comments during a press conference about an incident involving a Florida State University (FSU) football player, A.J. Nicholson, and allegations made against him by a woman.
Nicholson, a promising player, was sidelined from a crucial bowl game against Penn State due to these allegations. During the press conference, Coach Paterno, known for his integrity and wisdom, reflected on the situation. He emphasized the importance of caution in today's world and advised young people to be mindful of their associations.
His remarks were not meant to accuse Nicholson or the woman involved. Rather, they highlighted the complex nature of modern life and the necessity of vigilance.
Despite this, N.O.W. reacted strongly, calling for Coach Paterno's removal. This response came despite his years of dedicated service, mentoring student-athletes, and ensuring their academic success. The organization seemed to feel his comments lacked sufficient sympathy towards the woman making the accusations.
This situation raises an important question: When did we start assuming guilt before innocence? In our country, the principle is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. So, why was Nicholson benched, and on what basis? Allegations remain just that until substantiated by evidence.
Consider if Nicholson is eventually proven innocent. How does he reclaim his lost opportunity to play in one of the biggest games of his career? Accusations can have serious repercussions, which seems profoundly unfair without concrete proof.
Of course, if evidence emerges showing Nicholson's guilt, the woman's situation is deeply concerning. Nevertheless, it's essential to uphold the presumption of innocence and refrain from hasty judgments, especially concerning reputable figures like Coach Paterno.
We should be patient and let evidence guide our conclusions about Nicholson. Involving a respected coach in this controversy due to a simple comment doesn't seem justified.
I'm disappointed that a national organization would rush to criticize an upstanding individual like Coach Paterno over comments that seemed perfectly reasonable. N.O.W. should gather facts and evidence before reacting so drastically.
In conclusion, let's not forget the fundamental principle of being innocent until proven guilty, and let’s protect the voices of respected mentors who contribute positively to our society.
