Here is my response to CBS regarding the inappropriate comment made by journalist, Dan Bernstein in a recent article. While offering a needed critical perspective on the response of former Penn State football players in support of their former coach, Mr. Bernstein went out of bounds with his comment about Joe Paterno (see below.) Please note how my outrage doesn't include any statement regarding my opinion on how long this journalist should live. :)

Dear CBS,
As a sports fan I
was very surprised that a comment by Dan Bernstein regarding Joe
Paterno was allowed to be printed. The specific comment, “Paterno is
almost dead, thankfully” is unethical for a professional journalist to use in an article.
As a United
Methodist pastor, I am even more outraged that such a comment would be included.
Mr. Bernstein should be held accountable for this very unprofessional statement and a public apology should be issued.
Sincerely,
Rev. Robert McDowell
Senior Pastor, First United Methodist Church, Lancaster, Ohio
