I haven't listened to any of it, and probably won't.

I do not believe a single player nor the coach nor any of these goofy reporters are actually offended.

It's all about me face time, and seeing not only how much TV talk you can acquire and milk from it, but how you can "get back" with it and look all goody two shoes. If you call for firing, that means you are so good those few words are something so bad you've never done it in your life, and never would by golly you're a saint. LOL ( Not a single person babbling is above those words ).

There's one "bad person" here, IMUS, all the other players get their "I feel good not being a racist bigot insensitive lout, like that IMUS was, and I'm so good, I'm gonna help all the rest of us goodies to publicly punish and humiliate that bigot. This is a lynching, now pull up a chair for the show trial. By the time we're done he won't ever be able to even think what he said again and admit it. We'll instill the required fear, and watch him grovel before all of us. No circus ticket purchase required. "

Yes, they're all such wonderful people, so kind to make 3 words on a radio their life mission, and they smell like daisies, the more punishment they call for, the more they smell like roses, pile on for goody two shoes points.

 That's pretty much it. They know they can do it, and they know they've destroyed others for the same or less. It's a big power trip as well, no doubt about it.

There have been 2 standards and people like Salena Roberts and many others in the news media feel they have the right to slander and defame people they do not like or agree with based on zero evidence and then give a pass to others who they do agree with. Sharpton called jews every derogatory name in the book and you still see him acting as some sort of moral authority. The man is gutter trash and should never be given a microphone. to spew hishate.

What was fascinating was watching Spike Lee the film maker who Imus and his producer were quoting sitting in the Today Show continuously stating that Imus should not be given another chance. And he wrote and produced this stuff.

The similarity,or rather the difference balboa is, in the first case she sided with big powerful authority - when it was wrong , and in this case - she sides with "the little people" claiming it was a huge victory putting power and authority in it's place.

 So, she should have put power and authority in it's place in the Duke case, instead of doing the opposite there even as the power and authority was as wrong, and 1,000,000 times more wrong than in this case. 

People just won't go out on a limb anymore, will they?
