THE BREAKING DOWN OF A LEGENDARY FOOTBALL COACH JOE PATERNO

Just two months ago, Pennsylvania’s two senators wrote to the White House and nominated Joe Paterno for the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor.
Today, they’re taking it back.

Republican Sen. Pat Toomey and Democratic Sen. Bob Casey announced Thursday — less than 24 hours after the legendary football coach was fired following allegations that an assistant coach sexually abused multiple boys — that they were rescinding their support for Paterno’s nomination.
