Can we talk about Imus like adults?

(What Would Pokey Do?)

 

She wouldn't comment just as she's doing now about her own situation.

 

Agree across the board... I felt the same way.

The only thing they get out of a private meeting with Imus is more publicity. Maybe she thinks all this will help recruiting...

 

Just an overall bad job by Stringer and the Rutgers brass.

 

I disagree. OK, they could've said we're going to have a meeting with Imus and that's it.
I think they wanted to bring the out in the open, not keep it out of sight, out of mind. That's the easy way out in my opinion.

 

If I was Stringer, I'd be doing everything in my power to make this go away as quickly as possible...

At this point, I'm surprised Rutgers isn't selling the rights to televise the meeting with Imus...

 

They're working with Nike on a specially designed warm-up suit for the occasion....

 

Are you kidding? This is the best thing to happen to Stringer. You can't buy this type of advertising for her program. She looks like a dip to us, but she's getting her name and Rutgers' name out there.

 

This just in.
NEW YORK (AP) — Bruce Gordon, former head of the NAACP and a director of CBS Corp., said Wednesday the broadcasting company needs a “zero tolerance policy” on racism and hopes talk-show host Don Imus is fired for his demeaning remarks about the mostly black Rutgers women’s basketball team.
“He’s crossed the line, he’s violated our community,” Gordon said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “He needs to face the consequence of that violation.”
Gordon, a longtime telecommunications executive, stepped down in March after 19 months as head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, one of the foremost U.S. civil rights organizations.
He said he had spoken with CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves and hoped the company, after reviewing the situation, would “make the smart decision” by firing Imus rather than letting him return to the air at the end of a two-week suspension beginning next Monday.
“We should have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to what I see as irresponsible, racist behavior,” Gordon said. “The Imus comments go beyond humor. Maybe he thought it was funny, but that’s not what occurred. There has to be a consequence for that behavior.”

 

I wouldn't doubt it... I think Stringer is dead set on becoming the third women's hoops coach who is a household name...

 

You're absolutely right, Mizzou. In fact, Stringer called Imus last week and asked him to call her players nappy-headed hos so she could use it to get publiciity for her program.

Good God, you're an ass.

 

Ah, name-calling. That didn't take long.

Classy.
