Cults, man.I've long maintained that the Paterno sainthood myth had become intertwined with their own personal psychological identity and sense of self worth and professed superiority. They didn't just root for a better foosball team than yours. They were inherently better, more moral people than you and me because they rooted for HIS foosball team. When they say "We Are Because He Was," it's not some trite saying of fanhood like "Go Bucks" or "Hook Em." They mean it in a deeply fundamental manner central to their very sense of identity. In other words and to put it more clinically, they are very, very fucked up people.
