Here is the statement issued by Nike CEO Mark Parker:
"I have been deeply saddened by the news coming out of this investigation at Penn State. It is a terrible tragedy that children were unprotected from such abhorrent crimes. With the findings released today, I have decided to change the name of our child care center at our World Headquarters. My thoughts are with the victims and the Penn State community."
And Chairman Phil Knight:
"Other than my parents, my college coach, Bill Bowerman, was the biggest influence in my life. Bill Bowerman and Joe Paterno shared some great qualities. Throughout Joe Paterno’s career, he strived to put young athletes in a position to succeed and win in sport but most importantly in life. Joe influenced thousands of young men to become better leaders, fathers and husbands.
According to the investigation, it appears Joe made missteps that led to heartbreaking consequences. I missed that Joe missed it, and I am extremely saddened on this day. My love for Joe and his family remains."
Phil Knight is a fraud
Should have been done awhile ago. Hope JoePa rots in hell.
Wow!!! PSU is getting a lot of coverage as if it’s a local College!!!
Penn State Abington has already taken down all its Paterno mementos
The Harvard of Baltimore Pike, Penn State Delco, is still holding strong for JoePa. The truth will come out.
need another T Cole post
Hey Pat, that’s a little harsh, I don’t think Joe deserves this kind of treatment…
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
