If Rutgers hadn't been playing for the National Championship, would tthe incident with Imus even be an issue?
If Imus would of said the same thing about a team that wasn't in the tournament, would the same thing of happened?

Does anyone know what happened to Larry Johnson(#2)from the New York Knicks?
I really dont know and i think they are blowing this way out of proportion. He has said things ab out hispanics, native americans, obeseity, whites and other all in jest but they never made a big deal. Suddenly when he said something about blacks they get all bent out of shape? Other radio personalities say worse things all the time, including blacks. Does it make it right that he said it? No, but a suspension was still enough punishment they did not need to drop his program. If assholes like Al Sharpton didnt always whine and cry anytime someone makes an even remotely racial (not saying that this is one of those) remarks, he is there to complain. Despite the fact that he doesnt care about all of the other races he has insulted or joked about. That is racist in itself and he needs to stop being such a hipocrit.Yeah. A big deal would still be made, although if they weren't in the championship/tournament, the 'incident' would not have happened. People that make a big deal about things like that would do it regardless of who the team is.
Who was dubbed both the braided one and satan?
Yes. He said it over the air to a national audience. That means several thousand people, at least, heard it. Irregardless, whether he said it to the entire country or just one person, it's still an ignorant, racist comment. We can't stop people like that from being racist. But we can stop them from being racist on our airwaves.Pretend you are a free agent which team do u think will sign U as there player?
I think it would. as long as he uttered the comments that he did on air (even if it was a mistake) It doesn't matter what team you are talking about when you utter racial slurs (even in jest) about players for any college team. Words going to get out regardless of the school being mentioned is in nearby New Jersey, or out in California. Consider the size of his audience since he broadcasts out of NYC to all over the US.Is Tim Duncan the gratest player ever or what?
Well, I doubt if the comment would have even been made about any team other than those who would be in the championship game. We are talking about women's basketball here and I doubt enough attention would have been paid to any other game played this season to warrant a comment such as was made.Do you think the NBA should have National and American Conferences with the West being so dominant?
All that is not the issue . you can go into what ifs. It happened period and it isn't excused.I suspect richard hamilton is damm short!!?
Yes, because Imus had a big audience and he's been warned before to be careful and watch his mouth. Obvious the dumb SOB wasn't smart enough to heed the lesson and pay attention to what he was saying. Now he doesn't have to worry. He's not on the air. I doubt he'll be back anytime soon.Do you think Golden State will finish off the Mavericks off tonight?
Without a doubt. I don't think any team should be demeaned like that.I want to add one point- when Rutgers upset Duke in the Sweet 16 it was reported in local newspapers that Rutgers players were yelling when Harding from Duke was on the line for the last two free throws with .1 left. It was justified by the New Jersey newspapers at the type of chatter which takes place or that they were making sure there was boxing out being done. With .1 left there's no reason to worry about boxing out, plus no Duke players were lined up on the play. This team that everyone is making out to be well respected women have their issues as well.
