major media outlets | 4/10/2007 | n/a

The coach of the women's basketball team is speaking now.

[Pyro7480]

My question: When's the last time this much attention given to the rappers that use similar or worse terms for women? There is definitely a double standard.

[advertising guy]

that coach is alright bit wow, she is long winded

[cripplecreek]

Who let them pastey cracker hos in there?

[AU72]

I’d listen but it’s almost time for my nappy.

[advertising guy]

that coach is really good.I give her credit to rise to the moment...she is truely good

[Perdogg]

The women team members look like they have they Balco on speed dial (Another roid reference).

[mewzilla]

Is it just my boob tube, or does MSNBC have the presser on a time delay? It’s coverage seems to be running a few seconds behind the other news nets.

[Hildy]

woke up to it and just was cringing when I saw it on...but this woman speaking...she is fantastic and now I’m pissed off at Imus! Of course it’s been blown way out of proportion...and I’m personally relieved it’s a liberal instead of a conservative for a change.

Let’s hope this righteous indignation becomes directed at the biggest criminal of this particular crime: RAP MUSIC.

[Pyro7480]

I don’t know if it’s the camera lights or the contrast or both, but those two white player look REALLY white.

[Lazamataz]

I’d listen but it’s almost time for my nappy.

Put your nappy head on the pillow, and chortle, "Ho, Ho, Ho!"

[Pyro7480]

Let’s hope this righteous indignation becomes directed at the biggest criminal of this particular crime: RAP MUSIC.

AMEN! How about all the other "pop culture" outlets that basically do the same thing as well?

[mewzilla]

Sales of Rap Albums Take Stunning Nosedive

Anybody else think it ironic if MSNBC's got a dump button on the presser?

[Jaded]

Is absolutely everyone who was offended by Imus going to have a press conference? Who is shocked that he is a jerk? I thought we already knew that.

[elcid1970]

When rap became mainstream, they had to cancel the Miss Black America beauty pageant.

Because no girl wanted to be known as “Miss Idaho”.

[SeaBiscuit]

LMAO

[Volunteer]

The thing that is being missed out here is that Coach Summitt of the Lady Vols earned her 7th (SEVENTH) National Championship.

Isn't that the story?

Oh... what? Too positive? No victim?

OK. Let's go back to a joke told about a group of college basketball players for 30 seconds on a radio show. That's a bigger story.

[Lee'sGhost]

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

In further news, the coach said, “We resent being called ‘nappy headed hos.’ We are NOT nappy headed.”

[umgud]

Because no girl wanted to be known as “Miss Idaho”.

I'm gonna recomend you for a 2 week suspension.
