NIKE CEO Phil Knight defends Joe Paterno at today's memorial service



Leave it to Nike CEO, Phil Knight to say what most of us are feeling out here in the bloggersphere regarding the Jerry Sandusky scandal. I couldn't have said it better myself. Knight set the right tone here during Joe Paterno's memorial. This was a failure of an institution to act not a failure of Joe Paterno.

All the media who rushed to judgement and members of the Penn State Board of Trustees should be a shamed of themselves for how they treated Joe Paterno during this very difficult time. Paterno's legacy will live on in history, but the shame of what the media and the Penn State leadership did to Joe during the last three months will haunt them the rest of their lives.

Not good when the NIKE CEO calls out your Board of Trustees.
