What is uncalled for are the type of remarks that are disparaging.....sort of like Mr. Imas and the Rutgers Womens Basketball team. His remarks were not constructive and served no useful purpose...they were hurtful and denigrating. The Team, nor anyone else, asked for his opinion. One can only speculate on why he thought it was necessary to make such a comment. This also applies to dog shows......everyone is entitled to a personal opinion but it doesn't mean you have to share it with everyone at ringside. We all have been the recipient of an occasional nasty comment......what we need to do is remember what it felt like and never do it to anyone else. Kay ************************************ You are SO right Kay. Imus got off (so far) with a two weeks suspension. It is in his nature to be combative, critical, outrageous and cruel. My husband adores his radio program and applauds the fact that he overcame booze and drugs--I however cannot stand his disparaging remarks. I don't like that type of "comedian", and I use that term loosely. Penny in NY ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
