A recent internal investigation revealed knowledge of Sandusky's crimes and efforts to cover them up, including the extent of the knowledge of senior officials like Paterno.</p>
<p>The internet is amazing because on it you can very easily find opinions you might not think would existed, like those objecting to the statue's removal.</p>
<p>Here are <a href="http://storify.com/weareyourfek/people-objecting-to-nike-s-removal-of-a-joe-patern" target="_blank">a sampling of them</a> (though it's worth noting that the Re-Tweets of other people's Tweets may not be endorsements of those opinions so much as efforts to show people that they exist):</p>
