It's not that it's not "politically correct"; it's the fact that speaking in support of a disgusting fuck like Paterno, who knew about child rape, and did nothing; in and of itself is fucking digusting.
And, his employers have a right to terminate his employment for showing support of an accomplice to child rape.And I do NOT agree with Franco on this... which I said. But he has the right to say it, even if he is wrong.
