1. Because they're in the middle of a racial incident
:shrug:

We will never get beyond racism in this country. I'm thoroughly convinced.

16. So every case that does not end in conviction is a slander?
A lack of evidence does not necessitate that an event did not occur. Or that anyone should be ashamed to come forward or to prosecute a case.

18. Read through the details of this case.
The prosecution never had a case. Hell, the stripper can't even recall all of the details of that night. Also, the DNA didn't match.

19. More than that, they were pronounced INNOCENT
More than a lack of evidence. I would saythey are due an apology from the same people criticizing Imus.

She should be ashamed and shamed publicly for what she did to these players.

4. Because they're student athletes who've earned recognition not scorn?

11. Not a nappy head among 'em, either, unless it's changed since they lost
the final to the Lady Vols.

Something tells me that's unlikely...

Good on Oprah; but it would be really nice if she could celebrate BOTH teams. That's where this disgusting turn of events has led us.

8. Sorry--but it oughta be the Lady Vols; they won the championship.
Women's college hoops finally gets recognition for all the wrong reasons.

For those unaware, it was a hell of a great game.

FWIW, I'm delighted that Imus is gone. Anyone wanna talk WNBA?

12. crazy - I had hoped oprah would stay above the fray -
The more they say it stole their moment the more I see all the recognition the team and rutdgers is getting from all the media attention - no one would have even known they were there - by the way what sport do they play - I don't know if that has even been mentioned.

This is too much news - where are the pictures of iraq, the BFEE, and all the comments of RW wackos against anyone and everyone

The same questions were asked over and over - it is ridiculous - I like that they will meet with this guy and talk with him - that is where it should be - everyone has too much to say about everyone else - the anna baby - and on and on

I was thinking of vietnam war era and how the nightly news had the war and the pictures - still less than WWII pictures in the paper - the real news does not get as much coverage as all the rest of this garbage
