Jerry Sandusky: Former Players Must Speak out Against Alleged Child Molester

The Penn State scandal has led to many heated discussions, and while a few former Nittany Lions have given their accounts of Jerry Sandusky, there needs to be more that step forward to share their past and present feelings on their former coach. 

Men with the inside information of how Sandusky, the alleged child molester that has ruined the image at Penn State, have the best interviews, and because this situation is so damning it would be great to hear from as many as possible. 

Everyone has different views on what has been happening in Happy Valley, but it's the former players and coaches who's first hand knowledge of Sandusky, Joe Paterno and Mike McQueary is what truly helps sway the public's opinion on the matter. 

The first guy to speak out was former Penn State defensive tackle and current ESPN analyst Matt Millen, who played for the Nittany Lions in the later 1970s. 

This was the day the scandal really took the nation by storm, and Millen got very emotional on live television. Skip to 3:25 of the video.   

Millen's raw emotion really hit you hard, as you can tell these allegations against his former coach and school had devastated him. 

This is why more guys need to speak out because their passion for what has allegedly occurred is stronger than anyone else. 

Other player began to come forward, as well as some former coaches. Lavar Arrington, a linebacker at State College in the late 1990s, was disturbed by the accusations at first, but later had stronger words towards his former coach.

Arrington is being reserved in that interview, but after the Sandusky interview with Bob Costas on NBC, the former All-American brought the hammer down. Per CBS:

"

"You’re pissed off because he has something to say, you’re pissed off because he sounds like he’s on something. You know what I’m pissed off about ? He didn’t say he was sorry to those kids. He didn’t say he was sorry to the kids at Penn State. He didn’t say he was sorry to the players, he didn’t say was sorry to me, [to] us."  

"

His feelings for Sandusky and the scandal changed in an instant, and we should all be thankful he opened up to talk. 

The public doesn't know what it was like to be with Sandusky day after day and practice after practice. These guys spent so much time with him, and when the former defensive coordinator brought so much shame on their university, hearing what they have to say really puts things into perspective. 

As the scandal worsens, and Sandsuky's trial approaches, more people that were close to Sandusky must voice their opinion. 

The most recent person to talk was former Penn State basketball player John Amaechi, who used to promote Sandusky's charity Second Mile, where the coach allegedly preyed upon young boys.

Amaechi told ESPN's Dan Le Batard that being apart of the charity and knowing what he knows now hurts him deep. 

All the emotion these former players show is the exact reason more need to come forward. Hearing what they have to say gives us more information to they type of guys Sandsuky is.

So this is a call to action. I hope that more and more Nittany Lions open up because as the biggest sports scandal in history, this isn't going to just disappear anytime soon.
