Coach Stringer said they accepted the apology but, "We still find his statements to be unacceptable, and this is an experience that we will never forget.....we hope that this will be and serve as a catalyst for change. Let us continue to work hard together to make this world a better place."

(clap, clap) Well said!!
Personally, I don't think Imus is one bit sorry except he is sorry he lost his job.
I don't know about you, but he seemed bery riled up about the loss. Maybe he lost money on a bet so he was mad.
I certainly agree with actions of the team Coach, how do you feel about it?

They did the right thing in accepting Imus's apology, just as he did the right thing by apologizing.
His public apology sounded sincere to me. But if it wasn't sincere, at least it was public. Sincere or not, it was the right thing to do.
I don't know how sincere the Rutgers team members were in accepting his apology either; but it was still the right thing to do.
I hope that this does signal a change in public use of crude language; a little more civility would be good.

on 60 minutes the different day they replayed an interview from ten years in the past. The interviewer claimed that imus informed imus' producer (on an identical time as interior the vehicle) some thing concerning to n igger jokes. besides the undeniable fact that Imus denied that he reported the N be conscious. Then the interviewer ask the producer. the producer spoke back with, "sure i'm very specific you reported the N be conscious." Then imus spoke back with "nicely i might desire to have reported the N be conscious, yet that replaced into an off the record communique" Racism is an argument of the middle. you are able to ask for forgiveness all you opt for, besides the undeniable fact that it would not replace the certainty he's a racist. only like Cheater can ask for forgiveness, yet while they cheater on says sorry because of the fact they have been caught, nicely, i might slightly worried.

Kudos to the coach and the girls for having class! They all should be very proud of themselves! Its good to see some African Americans using their own minds instead of hiding behind the skirts of those two nitwits who are only trying to keep racism going so they have jobs! Don Imus said a horrible thing, but he said nothing that cant be found out of the mouth of their own kind in any street in America! The difference is he is white! Speaking of such where are these pillars of the community to appologize for the remarks they consistantly made degrading the now proven innocent duke college boys? Oops my bad! They're white too huh? And it was a black woman who accused them so it must be ok than! So much for their "injustice knows no color" motto! I think i see who the true racist are dont you?

I agree. Those nappy headed ho's did a good thing - KIDDING KIDDING KIDDING!!!!
Actually, Don Imus has been saying crap like that for years. He's refered to blacks as Apes on more than one occasion and makes fun of Jews as well. He's a jerk and should be gone.

I really admire those young women. They could have came out very angry and confrontational but they were very eloquent and intelligent. That's more than can be said for Sharpton.

He should not be sorry! Pooper scooper doggy dog calls them nappy headed ho's and they buy his "music" and put his posters up in their dorm rooms! A fine white man that has the guts to ignore the political crap says the exact same words and is attacked??? Wrongo Keebler. Time to take back the country! Reverse affirmative action and all the rest of the failed appeasement policies, and fix this country!!!
