This whole thing is bs. I’ve been listening to Imus for ten years and he says stuff like this all the time. Why the outrage all of a sudden. I wouldn’t give Al Sharpton the damn time of day. He’s just an oversize James Brown looking fool.
Barry, from what you say, this has become part of his stock-in-trade. (I haven’t listened to the guy since the early days,so I’m not up on his present routines.)
The indignation (on my part,anyway) is that a group of young women-most of them freshman students-who had played a magnificent season,were trashed-very,very publicly,and very crudely.
The very fact some of them made it into college at all meant they had to overcome the disdain and jealousy of their own high school mates-who would have criticized them for “acting white” , or dismissed them as “lesbians” because they played a competitive sport.
What Imus showed us was the unwashed underbelly of our society: something you’ll see flaunted every day on the internet.
