I'm watching the Rutgers basketball team speak.?

Question

And I'm getting sick! OK! Imus made a joke, in bad taste, and he is paying the price.
Now, Rutgers is milking this for all it's worth!
Let it go, move on!
Offended?? Awwww.....
You call my president a murderer. You call my Pope a Nazi?
Looks like some people can dish it out but can't take it..

Comments?????????

Answer 1

It's a pretty pathetic display. They all look as though they just graduated from a bad acting class. I'm not buying it.

Everyone at one time or another has said or done something they've ended up regretting. I say just get over it (please) and move on.

Answer 2

Imus is a no talent relic from the past who needed to be terminated years ago. He is gone now and good riddance. The Rutgers ladies need to toughen up a little, consider the source and get on with their lives. If this is the worst experience of their lives they will extremely lucky.

Answer 3

I am sick of it too.
While, what he said was offensive and should not have been said, I take issue to the uproar for this reason.
Until the black community stops its own from using the "n" word, calling women "Bit*hes and Ho's" and rappers don't glorify the words and also use the "nappy haired" description for themselves ( as the rapper Ice Cube did in a few of his songs as well as other rappers), black comedians using the "n" word, calling white "crackers",they have no business castigating Don Imus for doing it. Therein lies the double standard
Don Imus is an equal opportunity insulter, no one, neither through ethinicity, political affiliation or religion, well known public figure or not, has escaped his acid tongue. If he had been chastized for those as well as this, that would be one thing but to make those okay for insult but not this, sorry they can't have it both ways.
Then to have Al Sharpton with his vitriol calling for Imus to be fired is ridiculous. He is still trying to keep himself relevant and keep himself and people like Jesse Jacksom from becoming obsolete . Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson seemed to have selective memory. They seemed to have forgotten all the times THEY called jews " uncle hymie" and whites " crackers and honkies" .

BTW, the President is looked at a murderer simply because he attacked a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the attack on us. He could not talk about spreading democracy as a reason because there are other countries that were worse than Iraq and we did not attack them. People are dying everyday in a country that did not have that level of slaughter until our own intervention.

Answer 4

I read the transcript for how the whole thing went down, it seems to me that Imus and his dim-witted goons were trying to make a cultural reference (i.e., spike lee's movie) and they just really muffed it up. Badly. Which is really ironic, considering how long the man has been on the air. Bad judgement. Very bad.

Answer 5

I have watched some of those basketball games, the ladys, well ok some of them, looked more like gang members, than basketball players.

Answer 6

If you are so sick of it, why are you generating a post which will create more discussion about it?
Do you want people to agree with you? Ok, I do.
Do you want people to disagree with you? Ok, I do.
If you are truly sick of it, change the channel, no one is making you listen, and here you are genrating more discussion.
Choose your battles homeslice.

Answer 7

It's too bad that they couldn't win ugly or they would have been undefeated.
