The article regarding the suit being brought by Mike McQueary against Penn State led me to wonder if the estate of Joe Paterno should consider doing the same.

I see many similarities where both individuals reported wrongdoing to their supervisors and were later disparaged and “fired” from their jobs as a result of their reporting.

In fact it seems that Paterno would actually have a better case, as he acted on a report rather than firsthand observation, didn’t have an opportunity to stop the abuse in the showers, and obviously has suffered far more damage than McQueary.
