USA TODAY on Phil Knight - Class or Crass?

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2012/01/phil-knight-eulogy-of-joe-paterno-class-or-crass/1

USA Today posted a poll asking whether Phil Knight's speech was classy or crassy. Around 70% of the people who voted thus far agree with Knight and said it was a classy move. Is this proof that the narrative on Joe is finally shifting for the better? Seems like all it took was guy with no ties to psu to speak up.

That's fitting

considering that USA Today was among the most egregious of the “Shaft Paterno” crowd.

Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.

This gives me hope.

"I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for this university." "Oh, I haven't done enough." - Joe Paterno.

Get on there and vote.

It’s dropped to 63%. A few Facebook bashers in the comments, but without anonymity they scurry away as soon as anyone presents facts.
