The facts were out, it was in the Grand-jury testimony.

What part of seeing Sandusky in the shower with a young boy don't you (and the other Paterno defenders) don't understand?

First, my position is that when this first broke, Paterno was not being indicted. But everyone jumped on him. Since then, more info has come out, and it does appear that if Paterno did not know, it was willful ignorance.

Also, Paterno did not witness the incident. He was told about it. The Grand Jury testimony doesn't say what exactly was told to Paterno. And he did what he was legally required to do. I don't think the same can be said for ESPN.

My issue is that there were a boatload of FReepers who jumped to judgment before more info came out. But now, there is not the outrage now against ESPN with similar amount of evidence. Will it take more evidence against ESPN to get FReeper outrage, or was the outrage due to the fact it was PSU and Paterno? That's all I'm asking.

You still don't get it!

Paterno was told that something sexual happened on campus with a young boy and Sandusky, he testified to that fact.

Paterno had a MORAL obligation to do more.

Stop hiding behind his LEGAL obligation.

or was the outrage due to the fact it was PSU and Paterno?

Bingo. It must be, because the lack of outrage at ESPN is extraordinary.
