Its Jerry with a G

     I want you to think of someone who is mean, who is disgusting, someone who nobody likes but everyone knows who they are. Now, Imagine you had the same name as that person.

    Everyone in the sports world, or everyone who watches television, should know, and cringe, at the name Jerry Sandusky. Jerry Sandusky was recently put in jail for 45 accounts of rape and sexual molestation and cost Penn State University more than its reputaion. Sandusky, an assistant football coach at Penn State, was accused of molesting and even raping boys at a summer football camp at PSU. A four year bowl band, forfeited football wins from 1998-2011, and a $60 million fine--these are just a few of the punishments given to PSU for this one man's horendous crime.

    Gerry Sandusky, with a G, lives in Baltimore, Maryland and is the announcer for the Baltimore Ravens. Ever since the crime, committed by Sandusky, Gerry's life hasn't been the same for him or his family. On his Twitter and even in hotels, Sandusky is constantly being threatened for wrong accusations. When asked if he had ever considered changing his name Sandusky replied, "No, because I am proud of the reputation that my father has brought to this family under that name, and I would never disrespect him by changing it."

    This man didn't know that his name would someday match the name of a rapist, but he didn't let it phase him or his family. He didn't just back down and allow the threats to affect the way he lived his life and he didn't let this affect his future and past family by changing his name.
