Sandusky Receives Inappropriate Hate Mail??

The furor over Jerry Sandusky has died down some now that the former Penn State football coach has been convicted of serial child sexual abuse.

But for Gerry Sandusky, a sportscaster for the Baltimore Ravens, the backlash continues.

Not that Gerry Sandusky has done anything wrong.

His only offense is that he shares the same name with the man who preyed on young boys and who was convicted on 45 counts related to child sex abuse.

Take a look at recent postings on Gerry Sandusky’s Twitter page.

A woman named Jessica wrote “@GerrySandusky you’re a disgusting vile human.”

Sandusky responded: “Wrong guy. I’m Gerry with a G. Baltimore sportscaster. No relation to the former Penn St coach who spells his name with a J.”

Another person tweeted: “hope you get knifed in prison.”

Another asked: “@GerrySandusky I’m just confused…why would you do such things to children? #mean”

Sandusky said he received thousands of these messages. And he is trying to stay patient.

“The general consensus is people inviting me to an extended stay in hell, or a miserable death or prison rape,” Sandusky said. “I received a lot of F-bombs. I can understand the confusion. It is an emotional, heinous crime. I can understand the reactions. You just have to keep a sense of humor with this.”
