Again, I'd be willing to bet that nearly all of that 25% would agree that he should have been fired if he knew what was happening. They probably (like me), just think Paterno deserved a chance to tell his side of the story before we jump to conclusions about the holes and ambiguities in the grand jury report.
We don't know if Paterno knew about the '98 investigation. We don't know what McQueary told Paterno. We can all make assumptions about those things, but I'd like to think that my fate wouldn't be put in the hands of an assumption-making mob after four decades of service. That's why I voted "no" on that CNN survey, but if you want to assume that it's because Americans care more about football than child molestation, well, I guess I can't stop you.
