He called some female basketball players "nappy-headed ho's". A lot of people didn't appreciate the racial slurs, so the financial backing for his show was pulled. He had made a LOT of questionable statements in the past, but this time it cost him his job. If you are paid to shock people, that probably makes it a little tough to figure out which lines to cross, and which topics to avoid....

He called the Rutgers women's basketball team a bunch of "nappy-headed hos." After that, Al Sharpton went on one of his usual two-week rants designed to bring him as much attention as possible.
The network decided to run from the pressure, so they fired Imus.

He was taken off the air because he had an opinion about something. Other people can say what they want. What happened to free speech?

He said some racial slurs about an african american basketball team and was then fired.
But, isn't it funny, african americans can still make racial slurs about americans and NOT get fired. Just MY opinion.
