How stupid of CBS to fire Don Imus

Sometimes people are fired out of the bosses insecurities.

I think it was extremely racist for them to fire him, especially when he apologized and the people couldn't even forgive him. What is that teaching? It's okay for people to be unforgiving if they're a particular race. Come on! I personally get a kick out of IMUS's quirky statements. Yes, I feel he used a poor choice of words at an inappropriate time, but we're all an idiot one time or another. He realized he shouldn't have said it and was sincere, what more do they really want. I can't stand the power trips racist groups try to pull on people, especially when people of their own race have said even worse things towards other races themselves. This is going to be a downfall of our society...when freedom of speech is squelched because someone doesn't agree.

The news networks slept on this story for a few days. I watch allot of ESPN and it seemed like they got the jump on everybody by like two days or so. If not for certain sponsors dropping out that should would still be on the airwaves for sure. I am sure CBS cares about getting the ratings, but at the same time serious pressure was applied. As for "who cares", Me and a number of people. I care about this story because this guy went at people who did nothing to him. Those young women played basketball, they didn't send any comments toward Imus or any other radio DJ's to start anything.`This story would be nothing if he insulted another shock joke...jock.

There's more to the story here. There's no way he got fired solely because of the comment, "nappy headed hoes." Sports commentators/columnists degrade athletes far worse than that on a daily basis. Personally I could care less about the whole situation, but I am curious to know what else they had against the guy that got him canned.

From the tone of your voice your a fan of that man, Imus, and i really likeyour attitude on defending for him as a fan, keep it up.

the only thing I am mad about with the Imus firing is the reverse discrimination thing.If Imus had of been a minority making sexists remarks or racial slurs against whites then nothing would have happened.There are racial and sexists remarks in the music industry all the time and no one says anything about that.Racism is wrong period no matter from what race it comes from

I don't like what Don Imus said that day; but, I think the actions taken against him was too extreme especially since there are people of color on tv saying worse things then he did and in the music videos ..the rappers are utterly filthy and their music is constantly being filtered into the ears of our teens.. I think it was a sissy thing to do..More a political commercial response rather then a responsible won..I agree he should be suspended but not fired from his jobs!

I totally agree with you. I also think that people are getting way too uptight these days. Where is his first amendment right?
