Rutgers Women's Basketball

Ok let me take you back a few months, about 6 to be exact. Around this time, The Rutgers women's basketball team was doing well. Don Imus was on his radio show one day, and happened to be talking about this certain womens team and coined the phrase "Nappy-headed hoes." This 3 word remark forced CBS to fire Imus, due to sponsor issues. Thats the jist of the story. I think he should not have ever been even considered to be fired. Don Imus is a very well taught, inspirational speaker and has been a money-maker for CBS for a long time. The only reason he got fired is because some self-centered African-American women overreacted. This story is very similar to the Duke Lacrosse incident. I will continue my story later.
