Don Imus Sued by Rutgers Basketball Player

How can I explain this.

I know you have kids, so do I. As a parent would you appreciate some news person, talk show host attacking your child, making your child the butt of an off color joke in a similar way to millions of other people? Think about what this team lost because of this incident. Don Imus took a period of time away from these girls that they deserved, that they worked for. I feel they have every rigt to recover that loss.


It easy for people to disconnect themselves from this by looking from the outside in. It's easy to say this is only about the money, and it might be. But that doesn't change the fact of what happened, happened and Don Imus hold responsibility for it. Don Imus needs to be sued for these comments to create a wake up call for these arrogant, idiot shock jocks that think attacking people's characters is funny, that think the more insulting you are the funnier it is. People wonder why kids have no respect anymore, people wonder why people seem detached from personal responsibility, it's because our entertainment world has gone down this path. It's because being insulting and attacking people is accepted as entertainment in this country.

 

The reason Don Imus is responsible to the Rutgers Women's basketball team is because he directly made defamatory comments about those women to MILLIONS of people. These girls are college atheletes that did nothing to provoke those comments or attacks, NOTHING. You simply can not attack people that way. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, if Don Imus' comment was a general statement, and not a direct statement he would not be in trouble. He would still have a job. But when you point at someone and attack them in this way, you're liable for your comments.

READ GOOFBALL!!!!

I already addressed this issue.

To me they are all worthy to recieve damages from Don Imus, because the damage was done to everyone on the team. Not just the black players. But the comment of NAPPY HEADED HO's was a racially charged statement, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what Don Imus' intent was, and who he was directing his comments to.

 

Free speech always had rules, always.

If this would have happen to any of your childern, any of the white precious little darlings that came from your seed, I gurantee you, you would not have a problem taking a mulit-millionaire dollar ####### that ruined one of the biggest achievments in your childs life to court for damages. I gurantee you wouldn't have a problem with it. But since most of you view these girls as nappy headed ho's, it's easy for you to disconnect yourself from the real damaged that was done.

 

I hope it does.
